Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The Hays' had a St. Patrick's Day party, and Hannah had a blast playing with all of her friends.  Of course the green cupcakes were a big hit with Hannah - she loves sprinkles and frosting.

More Ice Cream

We walked to Dairy Deluxe with cousin Sabrina and both girls were covered with ice cream and sprinkles by the time we got home.  So happy it's spring!  Can't wait to put on my summer ice cream weight and blame pregnancy.

Denver Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation in Denver!  Hannah was fantastic on the flight, and just ate and watched movies the entire time.  Our house that we rented was wonderful, and it was great staying with Safta Linda, Aunt Sara, Uncle Ian and Macys.  Our first night in Denver, we had a sleepover party with Hannah's cousin Dora who is 4, and the girls had such a nice time.  Dora is such a great big cousin to Hannah and was extremely patient with her.  We visited the Downtown Aquarium, and all of the girls loved it.  I wish we had a nice aquarium in Michigan.  This morning Hannah and Macy played dress up in their new St. Patrick's Day attire in preparation for next week.

Baby Bolton 2 Update

We found out on Sunday, January 23rd, that Hannah is going to be a big sister! I guess it's time to update the name of the blog. Baby Bolton 2 (BB2) is due to arrive October 1st, 2011.

At 7 weeks, the nausea kicked in… And unlike my very healthy first pregnancy, I was sick with three separate ailments in the first 3 weeks after finding out I was pregnant. Sickness 1: cold; Sickness 2: low fever and nausea; Sickness 3: Sore throat, low fever, congestion and nausea. I think the nausea is pregnancy related, but adds a nice touch to being sick… I also have had quite a bit of cramping. Thank goodness spring is almost here and cold/flu season will be over!

We had our first ultrasound on 2/22/11, and everything looked perfect! The baby is measuring just right for 8 weeks, and the heart rate was 162. We took Hannah to get a first peak at her baby brother/sister, and she was great. She even sat with me while I had my blood work done, and she told me what color vials they were using (she got purple right…). I am feeling much better now, with no nausea and very few bouts of exhaustion. Hopefully it will last!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Charli!

We celebrated Charli's birthday today, and the girls had a blast.  They ate dinner at their own big girl table, played (read destroyed) every room in the house, tried on Charli's dress-up clothes (and fought over who got to wear what), helped open presents, and the highlight was eating cupcakes.  Happy 2nd Birthday Charli!

Date Night with Nate and Jake

We went for dinner and ice cream with Nate and Jake tonight, and as usual the highlight was ice cream.  The three of them even played a game of chess while we were at Oberweis.  Highlight of my night?  Jake asked me to marry him.  I told him I was taken, so he asked Hannah instead.
