35 1/2 Weeks and Counting

I haven't posted any pregnancy pics for a while so while my mom was in town for the "sprinkle" she took a few pics! I can't believe I am posting these....boy how things change from 10 weeks ago. I am almost 36 weeks right now but the pics were at 34 1/2 weeks. I am still feeling good and things are going well. I think the little one is getting a little more cramped but is still pretty active. We listen to Baby Sister on the doppler every other night or so, so that is fun for Allie to hear her sister's "heart beep". We are excited to meet our new little one...it doesn't seem possible that she will be here in 4 weeks. We scheduled the C-Section at our last appointment so that was a little weird but very exciting!! If she decides to come on her own before the scheduled C-Section, we will have a plan B. I will go back next week and see how things are progressing.



Cali Sprinkle

Last weekend my friend Alissa had a wonderful "sprinkle" for my family and friends. We had a great time and Alissa did a awesome job hosting! We are totally ready for Baby Girl Hulbert to join our family. Now we will just have to wait and see when she decides to come!!

Easter at Grandma & Paka's

This year we went to a birthday party in Colusa for Carlie and Alena on Saturday so we decided to just stay the night to celebrate Easter on Sunday in Colusa. We had fun at the party and had a nice visit in Colusa. We have never stayed all night at Grandma and Paka's with Allie so it was fun. We colored Easter Eggs and Allie enjoyed watching them change colors. The Easter Bunny found her in Colusa and she woke up to a full basket of goodies in the morning. She was pretty excited and also hunted the eggs that she colored the night before. Allie liked hunting but also liked hiding them too. Easter was very nice but it was a soggy, wet day. It reminded us of Oregon. We bundled the kids up and headed out for the hunt in the storm. Allie and Kainoa didn't seem to mind the rain and hunted lots of eggs. They were soaked when they came in but had a great time. Next year we will have a new little sis on the hunt for eggs. Can't wait!

Easter Fishing

Allie and Geoff wanted to go fishing while we were in Colusa for the weekend so we headed out to Geoff's favorite catfish hole that he used to go to with Grandma Ruth. Allie was a good sport and liked reeling in the line. We didn't have much action except right before we left. Geoff had a huge carp on and it broke the line...I know fish stories...but it really did happen. It was pretty cool. Geoff would have stayed to catch that big one, but he was a trooper and left since we were ready to head out. Grandma and Paka were good sports and went along too! After our fishing trip we went for a "hike" on the levee and had fun exploring. Allie gave us all roles on our hike...we were pretending to be Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. A 2 year old sure sees a lot more on hikes than we do. It is fun to look at all the small things when hiking with Als! We even heard a woodpecker so that was a nice little treat.
