Kentucky Derby

 
We had a great weekend and a really fun time at Kent and Kaki's Kentucky Derby party. Everyone was dressed up, bet on their favorite horse, kids played outside, and we all watched the race on t.v. Will's plaid coat was a big hit. Check out the pictures our friend Missy took while at the party.
P.S. I'll update the blog again after my Monday doctor's appointment.

34 weeks and counting

 
So I'm 34 weeks and feeling it! I have been so tired these last 3 days, but I can't seem to fall asleep. Restless legs syndrome is awful! I find out on Monday if I'm dilated at all. With all the contractions I've been having, hopefully I'm making some progress. Yoga is helping out a lot with how I feel. I wish I could go to class every night to stretch out and give baby more room in there. On the plus side, the weather has been beautiful and Will loves playing outside. Will went down the slide at the park all by himself and loved it! He had a fun Easter, looking for eggs and eating jellybeans! Getting to see family and friends was really nice as well.
On a sad note, K.C., our beloved family dog has moved on to doggie heaven. After 16 years, we had to make a very hard decision to put K.C. to sleep. Thursday night was really hard and the house feels so different without her around. We all miss her, but know it was the best thing for her.
With a new baby due just around the corner and Will growing up so fast and heading into the "terrible two's" the Springer household is a very busy place, not to mention the new house project we took on, finishing the basement.
Check out some new pictures on Picasa to see how Will and baby #2 are growing.

Papa and Will

 
Smile! Will is cheesing it up for the camera. I think he likes showing off his new haircut. Check out some new pictures of his haircut and our fun weekend with grandma and papa White on picasa.

first haircut

 
Will had his first haircut tonight. He did really well, he sat still and was happy to chew on daddys phone or a rubber duckie. He looks so much older now, sooo cute! Grandma and Papa White were there to witness the big event and we all went to dinner after. My camera battery died at the very end of his haircut, so luckily I was able to get a few good pics of him getting it cut, but will have to take some pictures tomorrow of the final product when I have a fresh battery. Look forward to those!
until then check out the haircut pics on picasa.

25 weeks!

 
So I am 25 weeks along in my second pregnancy and can't believe how fast this is going. I had a doctors appointment today to test for diabetes. I had to drink a really sweet drink and wait an hour, then have my blood tested. Everything turned out normal and this baby is measuring right on time. They said that after my next appointment, which is in a month, I'll start going every 2 weeks. I can't believe I'm so far along. I kind of forget I'm prego because I'm so busy chasing Will. But, I'm feeling great, except for my hips. Check out the new belly pics.

Sleepyhead

 
Will woke up on the wrong side of the crib this afternoon. This is a glimps into the world of my grumpy boy. Luckily, he's as happy as a clam now. It just took him a while to wake up. After dinner, he has a full belly and is running all over the house screaching in joy. He thinks our dog K.C.(16) is chasing him, as she wanders around the kitchen looking for food. It's a fun game! As you can see, Will has yet to get his first haircut. It's out of control. Some days I think it's really cute, and others I'm not so sure, like today. Check out the pictures on picasa.

Will is 15 months

We've had a very busy weekend. Will got to experience a few new things. I took him to a huge indoor park in Edina on Friday night. He had so much fun and it really wore him out, his mom too! Saturday was a day of winter fun. We started the day with sledding at the park close to our house, then we went to The City of Lakes Loppet in Minneapolis. They have a 5K cross country skiing race that takes place on lake of the isle which is completely lite by luminaries. Then after watching the racers for a little, we headed back to Edina to go ice skating on Centennial Lakes. Derek and I wore skates and Will rode in a sled made for the ice. We had so much fun! Today is Super Bowl Sunday and we'll be heading to our friends house for a party later this afternoon. Go Steelers!! Check out Will's 15 month pictures on picasa.
