So after much debate, I think we have decided to find out what we are having. The kids are split, (no thanks to their parents) so I think it will be best for them to know and have 20wks to adjust so they aren't upset when the baby makes it's arrival.
I've never really had a strong feeling either way in previous pregnancy. No specific cravings, just can't eat enough, but that's not a big change. My divergance to raw meat wasn't as bad this time as I recall in the past. My belly is high and out front. And you can listen to the heart beat but honestly I haven't asked for specific numbers at the appointments.
Feel free to vote. We have 21 days until our ultrasound! Can't wait to see our little one!

Awesome God
I’ve always like this song since I learned it as a kid. It’s even better hearing your own child sing it. I’m thankful she has this as part of her curriculum.

Fun Sat!
The local NOLA Auburn Alumni club held a crawfish boil Sat at Audubon Park. It started out a sweltering day but clouds moved it and cooled it enough to be enjoyable. We saw some old friends and met some new Auburn faithful. After that we went across the street to the zoo. It was a long day but very enjoyable family day!

Splash Bash
They had a splash party the day before graduation. Elizabeth bounced her way down the slide many of times!
Big School–Here I come!
My big 4 yr old!
Logan and Mrs Calli. I’m not sure who’s going to miss who more!
Getting ready for his big performance!
On to 1st Grade
Elizabeth graduated from Kindergarten today. It’s hard to believe this year is already over. She had two incredible teachers this yard. She loved them and they loved her. It great for a parent to see their kids enjoy school so much, and have so many people care about them.
They did about an hour show…it made us laugh and cry!
It showed a little attitude too! Elizabeth had most of the songs down and was singing loud and proud.
And one of her incredibly talented teachers made this cute cake.

15 weeks
How far along? 15 weeks
Baby's Size? Navel orange. Kids love knowing what "fruit" the baby is like each week.
Weight Gain? 2lbs must be running after the others cause I eat non stop.
Maternity clothes? Every other day, "this is my last time wearing these pants". Shirts still ok.
Stretch marks? No new ones.
Belly Button in or out? Inny
Sleeping? Yes, yes, yes. Can't get enough. Took two naps Sat!!
Foods I am loving? Nothing specific. Foods I'm hating? As always... nothing!
Movement? A few random flutters but nothing regular.
Best moment this week? Hearing the heart beat again. Always a relief early on when you can't feel anything and it been four weeks since youve heard it. Next appointment is 5 weeks with our 20 wk ultrasound.
Symptoms? Headaches. Discussed w the dr and she said sounds like something I'll just have to deal with and pray they improve as my hormones level out
Gender? ??? I was leaning toward not find out but the kids are so into it I think it may be better for them to find out. E really wants a sister and I don't want too much disappointment!
What I miss ? Adult beverages!! Its never really bothered me, nor do I drink much anyways but for some reason, maybe the hot summer, it just always looks refreshing.
What I'm looking forward to? Feeling the baby more regularly.
Emotions: after a restful weekend I'm feeling quite well.
Side Note: for the second appointment in a row the dr lays her hand on my stomach to use the doppler and says your Not having twins, right? Ah NO!!! Oh ok, your uterus is just really big but sometimes that happens, nothing to worry about. Then why say that!!! Your the dr, you saw the first ultrasound. Lucky the weight gain hasn't been excessive but I still don't like hearing I'm measuring 5 wks ahead. I hope it doesn't lead to anything down the road.

Field Trip
A few weeks back E’s class had their spring field trip. They decided on bowling and picnic.
They really have a great little (only 20) group of kids in her class. They all get along and behaved so well the whole day.
After bowling we headed to Audubon Park for a picnic lunch. It was a perfect spring day (we don’t get too many of those in South LA so we were lucky).
The kids all had a blast climbing, running, bubble blowing, just being kids
Sad to think the school year is almost over and we’ll have a 1st grade in less than two weeks!
Transformation
For the past two years Elizabeth class has study the life cycle of butterflies. So when her birthday rolled around this year her one request was a butterfly kit.
Shortly after they arrived.
They grew fast and it was pretty gross.
But they did turn into these four beautiful butterflies. After observing (torching) them for a couple days, we released them in the back yard.
Start of another season
Saturday the kids had their first two tball games. Yeah, nothing says summer like a double header on the hottest day of the year so far! Poor kids were sweating before the game even started.
Logan running to third…luckily the throwing's not accurate so it allows all the kids a chance to make it around the bases!
Elizabeth running fast. Not sure what she has going on with her head band but it seemed to happen every time she was up to bat.
The cool before the heat!

Play time
I was sitting at the table listening to the kids play.
Logan: I can marry you and you can marry me. But only on sat because I have school.
Love how well my kids play together (most of the time). And the older two have even started including Luke which he loves!!!
