25 weeks!

Happy Easter weekend everyone! I hope you are enjoying time with friends and family. Some of you are probably getting back from a Spring Break..jealous! This weekend Brandon's dad, step-mom, brother and sister came out for the week. We played a fun game of apples to apples (my favorite game) and sadly I lost. Why is it that I always suck at things I enjoy? (i.e.golfing, apples to apples, bowling) oh well! 


Yesterday I had a bit of a scare when it comes to baby Sev. I was at work when all of a sudden I felt like my stomach was on fire. Luckily, we have a school nurse so I thought I'd stop by on my lunch break to see if she had an anti-itch cream. She looked at my stomach and gasped. I could see a worried look on her face and she told me she had a friend who had a very similar rash at 37 weeks and it ended up being a virus that took her babie's life. I can't believe she told me that! I was so freaked out and was paranoid of how I was going to teach another 4 hours with no breaks. Luckily, my teacher friends were sweet and watched my class for me so I could call my doctor. He ended up getting me in at 3:40 so I only had to miss 30 minutes of work. It turns out I had an allergic reaction to something I ate and that it is possible women can get rashes from viruses. I'm very glad I went to the doctor but yikes what a scare! I'm noticing the rash is getting better today and I'm going to try and investigate to see what may have caused it.


Another goal Brandon and I had was to get the baby room painted. So far we have the walls all gray and now just need to do the white stripes on one wall. I think Brandon is nervous about doing it because we've never tried something tricky like that before. Baby Sev also received some beautiful giraffe items from his great-grandma Cheri this week! Something ironic is that our dog Rocco has a naughty relationship with one of his stuffed Giraffes...lol! So we're kind of nervous that I chose a giraffe theme...hopefully he can contain himself :)


Nothing else too exciting is going on over here. I'm gaining lots of weight (can't fit in my pants :( ), wearing sun dresses, and enjoying my time being preggo so far! Here are a few pics...not as exciting this week..sorry!

I feel like he's starting to stick out farther! I wish I could have my eyes open but it was way too sunny!

Only 2 lbs and he's already forced into loving Wisconsin teams

Does it look like he misses Michigan? He's obsessed with the sun! 

I love these flowers....now its just keeping them alive that's the goal!

Baby Sev's room painted now!

Playing bags round 2..glad my sewing came in handy for these bags!!
