Baby # 2!!

Look out world.. we are having another baby! A few weeks ago, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that I am pregnant! We always discussed whether we would have more kids, and both agreed that we would wait and see. We just didn't know it wouldn't be much of a wait! Ricky Jones is so sure that I'm having a boy, but my morning sickness 24 hour sickness is telling me that I'm having a girl! I am approxiamately 9 weeks pregnant so my due date will be around Carmen's birthday - November 29th! Tax deduction # 2 :) We are still going on vacation despite the general anxiety of expenses in the future, and my mood swings, nauseasness and general temperment. I do love spoiling Carter but I know that he will be such a great big brother and won't mind sharing us :)

Easter was last weekend and boy, is it Carter's favorite holiday! We colored eggs last Tuesday and it was a sight to see. It was so hectic that I didn't even get one picture :(. Ricky Jones, Carter and I colored on them and then put them in the dye - which was Carter's favorite part. He would mostly put them in the green cup and continue to drop all of the eggs back in the cups, as long as they were within his reach. When we were finished coloring 30 eggs, and triple dipped each of them - RJ distracted Carter in the other room while I cleaned up. It was not an easy task, because he kept coming into the kitchen where we had been coloring and screaming bloody murder because it was over! RJ would then take him in the other room, distract him and play - but not much later he would come out again and be in tears because the eggs were gone and he could no longer dip throw them into cups. It's safe to say that this boy loves coloring eggs! Hmm wonder how next year will go!

On Saturday we went to my mom's to hunt easter eggs and celebrate my mom and brother's birthday! Carter did a great job hunting the eggs and an even better job of getting Grandma to open his candy :) He really got the concept and wanted to carry around his basket all day and night.

On Easter morning, Carter woke up to his basket and went through each item so anxiously! He tried to put his spongebob shorts on his head, read a few pages of each book, and color his spongebob activity book! He then proceeded to put his eggs back in his basket and hand them to us so we could hide them! Such a bright guy :) We decided to take an inpromptu trip to Williamsburg to see RJ's dad and hide his easter eggs there! Carter went to each egg and was very proud to put them in his basket. We then went out and saw the horses and cows. They were more scared of him - that's for sure! He even pet the horsey's nose and kept pointing to them and telling them all about it. It was a very eventful day, and when we got home that night - Carter insisted on carrying his basket around everywhere and kept handing it to us so we would hide the eggs! Of course we did but now there is grass and easter eggs everywhere!! And I have no motivation to clean. ever :) This baby is really taking it out of me. It isn't easy brewing babies. I did get pictures of Carter hunting eggs so I will post them soon! :)
