Happy Easter! It was Ryan's first Easter! Yesterday Uncle Matt and Aunt Lisette (and family), and Grandma Margaret and Grandfather, Sir (George), and cousin Mishial came over for dinner. We hid Easter eggs in the backyard (Ryan just watched - he really had no idea what was going on) and each of the kids (and the adult kids) got an Easter basket filled with bunnies and chocolate - and in some cases - chocolate bunnies! Thank you Grandma and Grandfather, Sir for staying overnight so Daddy could go to Easter Mass early today. Hope you had fun with all of the other family you saw today!
Then, today, Ryan's Uncle Scott and soon-to-be Aunt Sarah came over and made a wonderful lunch. It was so yummy you'd think we hadn't eaten in a month which I assure you is not the case! Ryan got another Easter Basket filled with goodies, including Gerber Graduate snacks - his favorites!! We had such a nice afternoon (even though we watched golf most of the day). It was a great holiday - thanks to everyone that came to us since we can't go out anywhere.
Also, thanks to Grandpa John and Grandma Belle from Georgia who each spent a week here taking care of us. They came separately to "spread the wealth" and cooked and cleaned and waited on me as much as I would let them. :) Thanks for taking time out of your schedules to be with us. Grandpa John left last Saturday and Grandma Belle left yesterday. It was great to visit with you both!
As of last Friday, we are 32 weeks pregnant! YAY! In 4 weeks we will have the amnio done to check the baby's lung maturity and if they are mature we will deliver (via c-section) the next day! It's getting close and we are getting so excited! It's nice to have a couple of weeks with just Ryan, Mommy, and Daddy - before the baby gets here - but we are still excited to meet our new baby!
Thank you to all of the people that are helping out this week - cousin Teri, cousin Mishial, a friend-of-a-friend named Anna (I know, I think it's incredible that STRANGERS are so willing to give up their free time for us... just amazing), and my friend/coworker Michelle. We are SO lucky to be surrounded by such sweet people... Thank you in advance.
My Dad (aka Grandfather, Sir) has completed 2 weeks of radiation - that means he is one-third of the way done. He has started to feel some of the effects of the treatment. To put it in his words he said that it felt like he had a dead possom in his mouth. HUH!?!? I guess the radiation has started to change his tastebuds - nothing tastes good and he has dry mouth and his throat just feels yucky. I wish I could say that it will get easier but that is just not the case. I know a lot of people are praying for him... thank you for that.
As for me I am feeling a bit under the weather... I'm sure it's just allergies or something - I've had a sore throat since Friday night... Just feeling crummy. Hopefully it passes soon...
Much love to you all,
Becca
