Yesterday, at the NEX (Navy mall), Chase picked out his baby brother's first outfit.
I am super happy the kids are all excited for Carl's arrival. I can't wait to meet this baby and carry him in my arms, but I am worried about labor. I remember labor real well so I get scared. This time around, I am going to get a epidural. I've experienced natural birth twice and it hurts a lot.I also had a doctor appointment yesterday. While we were waiting to see my midwife, Chase asked me, "Mom how do they get the baby out." I smiled and said, "The doctor gets the baby out with their hands." Chase laughed then I said, "That's kind of funny huh..." Chase looked a little confused:)
He also asked if he could see the baby at the hospital after I have him. So I asked the doctor and she told me that the kids could even be present during labor. I was thinking in my mind, "Oh no I wouldn't have Chase with me at labor! That would traumatize the poor kid!" Well I'm excited to know the kids will get to see us after labor.
I talked with my midwife about all the back pain I've been having. She was so awesome and said to me, "Well we are going to have to go look for a pregnancy belt." I have heard of it before but never tried one. The nurse put it on me and I was sent off. I wore it until night and Oh man I just loved it. It does help so much. It feels like all my baby weight is being supported. So when I bend down my whole weight doesn't put pressure on my back or lower belly.
With my OB doctor when I was pregnant with Chase, I talked about back pain. He just told me to suck it up. He was a horrible doctor. I don't know why I continued to see him. Maybe I was young and I didn't know better. I thought all OB doctors were jerks like him. But my new doctor proved me wrong.
I just wanted to add how much we miss our freinds and family.
I really want to enjoy the kids before Carl arrives.
We did see some. They loved it. It was exciting we finally saw some.
We were driving up to North shore and never found any. Now I know we can drive down to Ko olina in 15 min instead of an hour drive to North shore. At one time 3 turtles were swimming around us. They get really close in hope you would feed them seaweed. At one point, the kids and I got some off the rocks and Chase gave them some seaweed. 
It was a really enjoying day at the beach. I wished Greg was there with us!
We went out to dinner at Chile's, and then ended the night with birthday cake!!! Chase wanted to have camoflauge b-day plates and blow horns.
The kids and I blew up 29 ballons and wrote down reasons why we love daddy on each balloon! The kids were really excited to surprise Greg with them right when he woke up in the morning.
Here is a picture of the kids with their Easter outfits and baskets. These pictures were taken before we left to a Easter dinner with some friends. We had a great dinner with them. They are VERY nice. 
Here we go coloring Easter eggs.
And egg decorating:
On Saturday, the kids went on a pony ride. They both loved it. Savvy had a smile on her face the whole ride. She really wanted to do it. I was surprise with how brave she was.
Chase had a serous face the whole ride:) But he was very brave too.
Savvy smiling for the picture.
Here is Savvy doing some modeling:
And Chase being cool with his floaties:
Savvy knows how to relax:
And Savvy and Chase both love it when their Dad burries them: 
Greg found a beach that we can do some fun snorkeling. We were very surprised to see tons of tropical fish there, without tons of people. It was a perfect day until all out of nowhere it started pouring rain. The crazy thing was that the rain didn't feel cold at all. The weather here changes always. We hear when April comes around it's really warm with less rain. That should be nice. 
It took 3 ultrasound appointments to know what this baby was going to be, not that he didn't want to show, but because of problems with paper work, insurance complications, and not having a babysitter. We finally know for sure now that....
I knew it was a boy the whole time, but I had to see it to believe it. He showed himself openly. The ultrasound tech and I talked throughout the appointment a lot. When she checked for the baby's sex, she told me it's a boy, then said look at that turtle. I thought that was so cute and funny. I think this baby has a nickname already.
