My un-photogenic Jo-Jo

So yesterday I thought Joanna looked so cute all day. She actually kept her pigtails in for longer that a minute and was wearing her necklace and butterfly shirt. So I was trying to get a picture of her cuteness and realized something... She is very un-photogenic. Actually it's pretty comical, to prove it to you here are all the pictures I took...

This one's not too bad, but she was looking when I went to snap the picture:

Well at least you see her pigtails in this one:

Oh yes, this one's really good(sarcasm):

Are you seeing what I mean?:

Thought maybe a group shot would be easier for her:

Umm, OoohK:

Not too bad, but still not great:

Ok, this one's just funnily cute:

Out of all those pictures this one's the best I got:

So you might be thinking that maybe it's just my fault but look how many pictures it took to get a good one of Chase:

One.

Oh well, there's worse things than not being able to take a good picture :) I just thought it was funny. Yesterday morning my parents came up and went with me and the kids to my first appointment at the Birth Center. I felt bad for them because the first appointment is a long one and they had to wait for an hour and a half! The kids got to hear the baby's heart beat though and that made Chase very happy, I don't think Joanna cared much :) I got some really good news at my appointment. The midwife said that Since I had a successful VBAC with Joanna that I would probably be able to have this baby at the Birth Center instead of going to the Hospital. They are going to check with my insurance company so pray that it will be covered. It would be a dream come true to have the baby at the birth center- it would also mean a water birth would be possible! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high yet.

Here's my "bump" last week at 4 months. I think it's actually smaller this week.

I really thought I was feeling little kicks last night when I went to bed. Also I just scheduled an ultrasound for gender determination for May 1st (a Saturday). It's at a private imaging center and they guarantee finding out the sex or you get to come back for free. It costs the same as what my insurance would charge to go to the hospital and they don't guarantee finding out when you go there. So I'm pretty excited about it... Is it May 1st yet?

After my appointment we were all so hungry and went out to eat on the way home. When we got back my parents left for home, it was nice to see them even for a little bit and I think they had fun spending time with the kids.

I did some more landscaping and transplanting this last weekend but I think I'll post pictures of that after this next weekend cause I'm planning on putting a bunch more in. It's starting to look very nice though.

I've still been feeling really good but I'm not so sure about running my race on Saturday. I went running on Monday and my ankle was acting funny and I could barely go 2 miles! It's definitely getting harder to run :( I'm really really sad about it, seriously.
