Baby Bump

Finally, here is my baby bump at 25 weeks. I'm a lot bigger with this baby girl. I was smaller than this when I gave birth to my little Madison. I've lost 14 lbs and barely gained 3 lbs back. During the first 4 months of my pregnancy with Maddie, I lost 18 lbs but then during the last 4 1/2, I gained all 18 back. I'm thinking I'm going to break even again- we'll see.

Maddie and Jon love to rub my belly and our little one moves wherever their hands move. She is a mover and a shaker. She is constantly moving all over the place.


After months of trying to find a name for our newest addition, I think we finally came up with one. We always knew Madison would be a Madison but this time around was challenging. So a few weeks ago, Jon came up with Brianna and I really like Isabella. Maddie is somewhat over Emma which was starting to grow on me. So now our battle is over whose name will be the first name and which is going to be the middle name. Awwwww!

We've done some shopping and Madison has been so excited because we buy the clothes and blankets that she picks out. We bought her bedding and we're going to start her nursery, which is going to be lady bugs, flowers and butterflies, in the next month or so. I can't believe she is going to be here in a few short months. It doesn't feel like I've been pregnant for 6 months. We're so anxious for her arrival and to see how Madison is going to react towards her.

Happy Easter

We hope you all had a very nice Easter. Our day was very nice and relaxing. My best-friend came to visit us for the weekend and we had such a great time. We've had quite a few visitors within the last month. My sister, brothers and mom paid me a surprise visit on my birthday a month ago and Auntie came to visit us a week ago. We had such a great time with everyone and of course, it's always hard to say good bye. This was the first Easter I spent without my family but our day turned out to be nice and quite. I thought Maddie would have a boring time hunting for eggs by herself but she didn't seem to mind. She had a very fun time hunting for all those eggs. We just want to say Thank you to everyone who got Maddie an Easter basket. We really appreciate everything. She got a new garden bag for all her new garden tools, books, bubbles, hair bows, money for her piggy bank, yo-yo, frisbees and of course, candy!!!!! Also, our new baby received 2 baskets filled with onsies, bibs, a blanket, shoes and socks. It was fun to see tiny clothes again.



Madison coloring Easter eggs. After a few, she lost interest and I ended up finishing the project.
On Saturday, we went to an Easter egg hunt at Maga and Grandpa's house. Maddie is a good egg hunter but once she discovered there was candy inside the eggs, it was all over.

After a long egg hunt, Maddie and Daddy took a breather.

On Sunday morning, Jon and I hid her basket so when she woke up, the hunt was on.

After her bath on Sunday night, we did one last egg hunt in the house.

These Sesame Street toy figurines came inside some large. She was so excited that Elmo was hiding inside her eggs. Finally, we got to sit down, put our feet up and just relax. We had such a great day and it was beyond fun watching Madison egg hunt and enjoy herself. Hope you all had a fun day.
