Happy Easter and ENT update!!

Ok so we went to the Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor today for Ireland. He decided she needs tubes:) That is what we had been waiting to hear. Hopefully we will know in the next week when they will do the surgery! This is great news. I am so glad we changed pediatricians again. I think Kevin and I knew all along that we were not happy with the old one. Oh well, hopefully this will mean she will not be sick all the time:)

This picture shows Irelands haircut. My mom came over last night because I was not feeling well and Kevin had call night. I needed someone to help me keep up with Ireland:) So mom came over and cooked dinner and cut Irelands hair for me. Isnt it cute? At least she can see now:)


Here are a bunch of easter photos. It was so nice to have everyone together (except Sara Beth she was in Vegas so I guess that is an excuse)
After Easter dinner we went up to the park to play! the girls played on the playground while the men went and played basketball! They sure smelled when they got back home:)


I love this picture. Ireland had played hard all day and since daddy was still playing basketball she decided it was time to lay on grandmoms couch and drink her milk. Then she had to play with Alex some more:)







These next two photos show Ireland with her Easter present from Aunt RaRa, Uncle Tim, T.J., and Alex. It is the biggest bunny ever. Ireland tries dragging it all over the house but it is about twice her size.





It was Easter but we were also celebrating T.J.s 13th birthday! Can you believe he is that old??? Plus he is taller than me which I really do not think is fair. This is him getting ready to blow out his candles!




He is such a cute young man! He looks a lot older than 13 though:)







Here is Ireland getting attention from both grandmothers!


Is my niece not the cutest thing you have ever seen?


Here is Ireland dying easter eggs and then trying to decorate them! you can also see her big girl panties on in the first photo. This potty training thing is harder than I thought. We are not pushing her to hard since the baby arrives next week. She goes through phases. Sometimes she wants to use the potty all the time and other times she wants absolutly nothing to do with it. You can see she really enjoyed decorating the eggs although more got on her than the eggs:)








I had to put these on the blog! Ireland loves ice cream. We went to Brusters on Saturday and it was to cold to eat outside so we ate in my car. They give the little kids baby ice cream cones and Ireland holds it and we put one bite of ice cream in it and let her eat it and then she will say "more, more" and we will give her some more.








On Friday Irelands class had an easter egg hunt. Irelands teacher Ms. Angela asked if I would come and help! Of course I said yes. The only other thing I am doing is waiting for this dang baby to show up:) What she did not tell me was that their were over 240 eggs to hide for 22 kids! Are you kidding me? There is not that many places to hide eggs I ended up just dropping some of them on the ground. The kids are only 2 they did not really know what was going on anyways! You can see all the proud parents taking pictures:)







Kevin suprised Ireland and showed up in time for the hunt. She has a short attention span so he had to keep reminding her what she was supposed to be doing. She loves her daddy so much. Every afternoon when I pick her up we spend 10 minutes talking about where her daddy is. I could say at work 20 times and she will still say Daddy? home?


Here is Ireland checking out her loot! God bless her sweet teachers! They have more patience than I will ever have! The kids are so good though! Ireland is in a great class!

Tough Kid!

Ireland had a minor injury today.....A little blood but nothing major....she played right through it! With the NCAA basketball tournament starting today, I put up these pictures for comparison:





Here is a great picture of Ireland....it shows she is just fine!

Lots of pictures

So the countdown begins! We have a scheduled c-section planned for March 31st. Kevin and I have to be at the hospital at 5 a.m. and we were told the surgery would happen at 6:45 and then we will know if Ireland will have a baby brother or baby sister. She is a little confused since we brought out all the baby stuff. I have loved getting to spend extra time with her since the doctor took me out of work. She is only going part days to day care and then I pick her up early and as she says we "shopping and play" together. I love every minute I get to spend with her.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!



Is she not the cutest Diva you have seen???







It was beautiful outside on Sunday and Ireland loves it outside!!! So as you can see we spent the whole day outside on our screened in porch and out back. Then we went to watch T.J. play baseball and then went out to dinner with them. As you can see Ireland makes Alex play ring around the rosies over and over again.










As many of you know we had awful storms in Atlanta this weekend. We do not have a basement so when the storms got so nasty on Saturday my parents invited us over so we could be in a basement. I loved the photos below of Bailey. She is so good with Ireland as you can see from the beads that she lets Ireland put all over her.






Here are some of my favorite pictures of Kevin and Ireland together. We were invited over to Jason and Heathers to watch the Duke vs. North Carolina game. Jason is a huge Duke fan and Kevin is a huge NC fan so he and Ireland had to get all decked out in everything NC. Ireland even had socks on for NC. We had a great time thanks for having us over:)







Here are a couple of family photos. For my family this was taken several weeks ago but still shows that I am the largest pregnant women ever!! Good thing you reconsidered your weight estimates for the new baby!!





Here are a couple additional swim lesson photos. Unfortuntatly, Ireland has had so many ear infections that she was unable to go to her last three classes. We are scheduled to meet with a ear, nose and throat doctor next Wednesday to discuss getting tubes put in. I will keep you updated.
