Preston's Homecoming!

Preston Gilbert just arrived home from Norway on Friday night at 10pm! We were lucky to get him home with all the volcano eruption trouble they were having over in Europe. We drove an hour out to Tricities airport to meet him, and we woke Lilly up and ran inside when we heard his plane was 17 minutes early. Banner was ready, balloons waiting- Lilly had on a special shirt that said "Welcome Home Uncle Preston" She was not too sure about meeting her Uncle for the first time- her expression in this picture seems to reflect exactly what she must have been thinking:

16 weeks and 3 days

Had an appt. yesterday, baby is doing good! Heartbeat was 165 bpm. We were able to set up our ultrasound for May 5th! Time is going so slowly, I really want to know if we will be having another girl, or a boy. :) Felt the baby move for the first time last night too! I was eating taco salad and drinking some lemonade and I distinctly felt a little someone dancing around in my tummy!

Got Lilly's room mostly set up today, her decals are up on the wall, and her furniture is assembled. I am so happy with this new place. I love our front yard the most, with the pretty red tulips and trees! There is a really pretty pink blossomed tree in front too. Took Lilly out to play in the backyard for the first time yesterday, she is still afraid of the grass! I set her down in it while I was weeding, and she did not move from that spot! But I think

she will adjust soon, at least she didn't scream when I put her down this time.

Easter was so good, enjoyed Conference and brunch at the Gilberts! Lilly got some fun things in her basket from Grandma and Grandpa- some big legos, a couple cute outfits, and some classic books on DVD.
