Fishies, Easter & Teeth

Dear Kacie,

I'm feeling very sentimental these days!

Everything you do I think to myself "This could be the last time _____ alone with Kacie"

Like this one morning I went in to wake you up and got emotional over how cute it was that you were sleeping and how it was possibly the last time I would come in to wake you up with one baby!

Unfortunately, we went to the doctor hoping my blood pressure would be high and they would induce me. Instead they sent me home with instruction to collect my urine for 24 hours. So lame.

I was so sad! Your brother was just making me so uncomfortable and I just felt awful 24/7. I really felt like it was time.

Your daddy got into cleaning mode, so that when your brother did arrive, everything would be ready.

We went to the car wash and you were terrified! So we took you out of your car seat and let you ride up front with us. You still didn't really like it but you weren't crying at least!

Our car looked so good after it was washed and we even vacuumed out the inside and it is really nice having a shining sparkly car!

And then to keep my mind off of being pregnant, and also to try and force Kalvin out, we went to Thanksgiving Point Gardens to have a picnic and walk around.

You also wanted to show daddy the fishes!

We bought some of the fish food and you LOVED feeding them! You would drop one pellet in at a time and the fish would go crazy and you'd laugh… that sounds like you were torturing them!

Then, after we walked and walked and walked, we sat on the hill and had a picnic.

And then I continued to sit, while you and dad went and explored at the bottom of the hill.

You had a lot of fun jumping off and on the concrete stage. Or at least trying to copy dad doing that. You did not want to leave!

My sweet grandma sent us the carrier I've wanted since you were born! It's REALLY nice and I love it.

It is meant for Kalvin but you were also in the weight limit for it so dad decided to try it out with you since Kalvin wasn't available yet.

We thought you would hate being confined but you did not! You love your dad so much that you just cuddled right up to him.

Saturday morning, you woke up really congested. Luckily it was conference weekend so we didn't have any plans other than being at home. The only problem was that you wanted to go outside aaaallll weekend. You kept going to dad and making him stand up. then you'd point to the door and say 'outside. outside' over and over. So we opened the door for you but you had to wear your big coat cause it was cold and we didn't want you to get more sick.

Sunday was Easter and you were so sick that you didn't even care about your basket. You looked at the books and then just sat there while dad and I pulled out the other things.

When you were feeling a little better later that day, you played with your bead bottle. You love to dump out the beads and then put them back in.

This picture is not in order, but one night at Target you and dad found this dog on a platform. You looked like a perfect little mannequin!

It was a good weekend at home, except for that you were so sick and it was really sad because there wasn't anything we could do!

We had a lot of fun with you though, and dad is so good at taking care of you while I was pregnant and out of commission!

Love,

Dad and Mom
