Well, this post is over a week late, but I don’t care.

We’ll start off with Easter morning. It was lovely…full of adorable kids in jammies eating candy way too early in the morning.

Sage couldn’t believe there was actually candy inside the eggs. She loves playing with Easter eggs (I have kept them in a bin for her) and now there is candy in them all the sudden. Now, when she opens an egg she throws it and says “no candy”.

She was so excited about the candy she didn’t care that she was eating the wrapper.

My little loves…you probably saw these on Facebook.

I look a bit tired. Shot a wedding the night before till 1am. Preggers can’t handle past 10:30pm, but somehow I managed.

Sage and Natalie talking about what candy they had.

I love Sage’s crazy curls. Today, when I was doing her hair she started crying and I told her in about 20 years she will appreciate her curls. The same thing my mom said to me when she was brushing out my curls and I was crying.

Natalie never stays still…reminds me a someone I know…

I think they could be sisters.

“Please more candy.”

The hunt…if the egg didn’t have candy, she threw it down and said “just a toy, no candy”.

She could care less for the basket and once she found an egg and ate the candy, she threw the opened egg back on the ground and went on her way.

Notice the open egg with the toy thrown down.

“Nonni, enough with the toys. Where is the candy?”

Abel on the other hand takes an Easter hunt very seriously.

The end…

Off to shoot a wedding, but had to share my precious fairy…

Blogging is getting harder and harder but I am going to press through and keep this blog alive. It’s my only baby book for the kids since I think the last time I wrote in Sage’s baby book she might have been like 9 months. The poor 3rd child probably won’t even have a baby book.

Surprisingly, I’m currently the smallest with my 3rd pregnancy (even though I feel like I have popped)! It’s probably because I chase 2 kids all day long and never stop moving. Just the other day, I thought it was safe to sneak off to the bathroom (I have to go all the time…even Abel noticed all my visits to the bathroom) while the kids seemed to be playing nicely together. Sage comes running and laughing and Abel is screaming “She stole my grapes.” They were massive grapes that I didn’t want her to get and she was running with them in her mouth. Talk about major chocking hazard. So yes, even a trip to the bathroom was a workout.

Here’s the baby bump at almost 13 weeks. It’s amazing how much my belly grows from morning to night. Just to shove you, I took these on the same day, one at night and one in the morning.

Morning belly:

Night belly:

Clearly, my jeans are getting too tight. ha!

I’m still fighting with the 1st trimester. It feels like it is taking forever to get me to the 2nd trimester. I know once I hit it (14 weeks & if I start feel better) time is going to fly and it already seems so crazy to us that a newborn will be with us in 6 months!

And here is a pic to prove my girl has curls! YAY! Let’s hope they stay.

I don’t have any pics of my precious boy, but I do have some of his artwork. Every day he draws us the same picture and I love it. It’s me & Seth holding hands. Sometimes Abel & Sage are in the picture and recently he started adding a baby in my belly. I mean, how precious! I love that he always thinks of me and Seth holding hands with a bunch of hearts around us.

Love our long arms and massive ears in this one. Look at that great heart!

I adore the whole family ones.

Close up of the baby…for some reason he drew the baby’s brain on the outside of his head.

And every one is signed with his name on the back.

One being I feel too sick to blog.

This little one is sure putting its momma through a lot of pain. Some nasty heartburn & indigestion type of pain. I had no idea it could ever get this bad. I got heartburn with both my other pregnancies but it wasn’t till like the 7th or 8th month and it wasn’t this bad or all the time.

Somehow even though I run 2 miles almost every day and am faithful at my Pilates and Zumba classes and look at food and want to run, I still have manage to put on around 5lbs. I hate this chubby stage and I think will welcome a cute bump. Hopefully, it will be cute. I sure don’t feel cute and round right now.

Work is picking up and thankfully the Lord has given me the strength to get through my sessions.

I’m behind on posting some pictures…my little girl is finally getting hair and with the start of the humidity and heat, curls now sprout on top of her head. (no pictures of that yet since these were all taken a few weeks ago).

I got addicted to leggings when she was stuck in her brace. I can’t help myself and she looks so cute in them.

I probably should not post this, but it is too funny not to. We are in the slow stages of potty training. She trains when she wants to and we don’t push it. Some days it is like “wow, girl you got this” and other days she could care less. It would be a super awesome gift if she was trained by baby #3′s arrival.

I guess I should probably tell you Abel has picked out his names for the baby. If it is a girl, he wants her name to be Essi and if it is a boy he wants “X-0″. (We told him right around Valentine’s day and he was seeing a lot of x’s & o’s and I think that is how he came up with it.) I actually kinda like Essi…So now we just call baby “EssiXo” Way too long of a nickname, but it stuck.

Storytime with daddy.

I’ve been working on a project for our church. Here is a little peak.

Abel and his buddies.

Since I was taking pictures of everyone else at church, I gave the camera to my friend and ask her to snap of few of my crew.

Don’t ask Abel to smile at the camera, because this is what you get.
