Matt got a three day weekend and we decided to spend some time in Newburgh to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather! The boys had fun decorating and finding the Easter eggs with Grandma and Grandpa, visiting the toy store, playing video games with Uncle Trent, seeing Great Grandma and Grandpa Rodgers, biking around downtown Newburgh, and playing outside at a playground Dad used to play at as a kid. Matt got some runs and basketball games in with Grandpa, and I got to spend a whole (kid-less!) evening with my good friend Amber. It was a great weekend. We even got to eat dinner outside one night thanks to the fabulous weather on Saturday! We all had a blast!

This week we spent time playing outside in all weather... from warm and sunny, to cold and wet! The boys don't seem to mind much though! The highlight of our week, however, was getting to see Baby at the 20 week (really 21 weeks since we waited for Dad to be able to come too) anatomy ultrasound. Baby was 10 inches long, weighed 13 ounces, and was very healthy! Baby loved to have his/her hand up on his/her face, but otherwise was pretty cooperative for the scan. We came home after and showed the boys their old scans, which they loved. After doing some comparison, we decided Baby seems to have a profile that more closely resembles Micah's, but Baby still has a lot of growing to do!
We took the week easy after getting back from Pittsburgh and played in the yard, cleaned the house, and hung out with Dad! The boys love spray bottles, so they took to cleaning windows like a charm while I was able to get some other work done one day while Dad was at work. Then on Saturday, we met Nana, Grandad, and Great Grandma Judy at the Joseph Moore Museum in Richmond, IN for an afternoon. The boys loved the microscope and reptiles! After a dinner out that ended in Ezra vomiting all over me... yep, right in the middle of the restaurant, we rushed home and got the boys in bed hoping it was a fluke. Unfortunately, we had to cancel Pancake Breakfast plans at Aullwood Farm due to more vomiting on Sunday morning. So instead we spent the morning on the couch and ate really mild food and hoped no one else came down with whatever bug Ezra seemed to have picked up. Fortunately, Ezra was back to normal by Sunday night!
In other news, this week we hit 20 weeks with Baby #3 and movement has definitely picked up! I'm feeling great though and really don't feel pregnant other than the growing belly. The boys however, are becoming more aware of my belly and the room it is starting to take up when I am sitting, lol. I don't think they are huge fans of the smaller space available now. On the bright side, they still seem really excited about having a baby, and have both agreed that, boy or girl, the baby's name should be "Caroline"... hehehe. Their love for Aunt Caroline is apparently great indeed! Well this week was a bittersweet trip to Pittsburgh while Matt worked a brutal week of night shifts. Our cousins are moving in a few weeks to L.A., so this is our last trip to Pittsburgh to see them. Nana and Grandad plan to put their house on the market soon too, so we may never make it back to Pittsburgh again. So crazy! Our first few days there were with Nana, Grandad, and Seth because Aunt Jen and Jack were in L.A. for a house and school hunting trip. We played lots of cars and trains and visited the Children's Museum for a day. After Jack and Aunt Jen got home, we went on a hike/biking walk in the state park, played in the snow, and of course just played together. Aunt Jen and I even snuck away to see a movie by ourselves while Nana and Grandad took on the 4 grandboys by themselves. The boys had a blast together and boy are we going to miss having them so close!
