Ultrasound Results and Easter

Hello! So, we had our ultrasound last Friday and everything looked good! We were able to see the baby's brain, eyes, nose, mouth, heart, stomach, kidneys, bladder, 2 arms, 2 legs and lots of movement. And we found out it is a little baby girl!!! She weighed about 10 ounces and was curled up in a ball upside down. We had a hard time getting her to stretch out too much... apparently I make a comfy home! But she had her legs crossed like a little lady and was flipping her feet up and down like she was waving at us. We have decided to name her Isabella Grace Smith and we are going to call her Bella. Everything looked healthy and right on target for our due date of August 31st. Now, we are planning to do our 3D/4D ultrasound like we did with Nathan...probably sometime in June.

Nathan had an absolute blast with Easter this year! On Saturday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Smith's subdivision Easter Egg Hunt. Only, we (of course) were a few minutes late and all the eggs were already being found by the big kids. So, we stopped to see the Easter Bunny while there was no wait. Nathan wasn't too sure about him, but we got a few pictures. Then, he was perfectly content to walk around the lake path carrying his Elmo basket watching everyone else and just being outside. One lady asked us if he got any eggs and when we said no, she took 3 out of her son's basket and threw them on the ground for Nathan to find! It was so nice of her! Nathan wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do, but caught on after a few minutes. He then loved to shake the eggs and hear the candy rattling around! It was sooo cute!!! We then continue walking around the lake and a couple school-age kids gave Nathan a few more of their eggs! He ended up with 7 eggs I think due to their generosity! Then Saturday night Grandma and Grandpa Smith came over to give Nathan his Easter basket and they bought him a little slide with fort that is just his size! We set it up in the living room and he went down the "weeee" probably 50 times! His laugh and smile were priceless as he enjoyed this simple pleasure! He quickly figured out how to climb up there on his own, but he likes to slide down feet first on his tummy instead of on his bottom! We have to work on that! On Sunday, Nathan came sprinting down the hall to see his Easter basket from Mommy & Daddy and then proceeded to play with his Bubble Mower for the next 30-45 minutes. Our cat loved it because he wanted to chase the bubbles like Nathan! They were cute playing together! He also decided to use his golf clubs we got him as a sword/weapon and last night he finally figured out to hit the ball with the club. So last night he chased the little ball around the house with the club for another 20-30 minutes. Sunday we also went to Grandma and Grandpa Hill's house for Easter and then to Great-Grandma Hill's for Easter lunch and another egg hunt. Grandma and Grandpa got him a cute Elmo Puppet book that he loves!!! I think I have read it about 10 times in the last 2 days! He enjoyed the egg hunt, but again it took a while to get him to pick up the eggs. And then after he had one in each hand, he didn't care about getting any more! He is still so innocent and doesn't have the selfish/greedy nature yet of toddlers.

I have my last class tonight and turn in another assignment. That means that after I get home at 10pm tonight, I only have 6 days of clinical and 1 assignment standing in my way before graduation!!!!!! Yea!!!!!!

Will post pictures when we have time!!
Take care,
Justin, Amber & Nathaniel
