Mackenzie with Easter Bunny!




Easter is almost here!!! Mackenzie got so many new dresses for her birthday, so it will be really hard trying to choose her Easter outfit. We went to the park last week with my mom, Meredith and Whit to have a picnic. We also did a little egg hunt while we were there. Mackenzie and Whit loved it!! They were very distracted though. Today, I took Mackenzie to see the Easter Bunny! She was very serious. There was no crying, but not many smiles either. On Sunday, Doug and I will go to church and then we will be off to my parent's house for Easter lunch. After that, we will be going to Paul and Mary's for dinner. I love Easter mostly because you can start wearing white and get out your pretty dresses. I am hoping it will be warm this year because last year was freezing!!!

Mackenzie will be a big sis soon!!!!

Well, it's finally April!!! This pregnancy has flown by, but now that we are getting closer to the end, it is really dragging!!!! I am getting so much bigger and uncomfortable, so it has been really hard taking care of a 13 month old. I have basically forgotten what sleep feels like. I am either up with Mackenzie, or I am up every 5 to 10 minutes going to the bathroom. Oh well. I guess this is God's way of getting me ready to be up all night with Mary Kathryn. I am very nervous about how things will be with two babies, but I don't think God would give me something I can't handle. Luckily, I have great family and friends who will be there for us. I hope Mackenzie is too young to be jealous of the new baby, but I do think it will be a big change for her. She is used to getting all the attention, so we are going to have to make sure she feels very special during this transition. I am really hoping it goes smoothly. I had an interesting OB appointment last week. I requested an ultrasound so we could make sure Mary Kate is head down since Mackenzie was Breech. She is head down, however, she is already measuring 7 pounds, 4 ounces!!!!!!!!! WHAT??!!!! That is what Mackenzie weighed at birth. The ultrasound tech said it could be inaccurate by a point in either direction, so she could weigh 6 pounds, 4 ounces or she could even be 8 pounds, 4 ounces. The doctor seemed a little shocked and wants to keep close watch on this. He says he will definately induce and deliver before my due date if she continues to grow at this pace. I guess I will know more in the next few weeks, but due to the pelvic pressure I am having and horrible Braxton Hicks pains, my guess is I will not make it to April 30th. We shall see!!!! We are getting excited. Let's hope all goes well and that I don't have a panic attack. HAHAHA! We will keep all of you posted! : )
