Easter

Easter weekend we were busy, busy, busy.  Among other things, we went to an Easter brunch and egg hunt.  And of course, Silas participated to the best of his ability.  We have some ADORABLE pictures of him sitting in the middle of the other kids during the resurrection eggs.  He was a great listener, and never actually got sat on or trampled during the entire presentation.  Here he is huntin' eggs.  He mostly just latched onto the first shiny one he found.  Which, coincidentally, had a Ghirardelli chocolate inside.

We also went to the Botanical Garden in Fort Worth.  Which was free, and very crowded and full of weddings.  Like everyone else there, we took many many pictures.

Eating Breakfast, Thinking

It's Friday morning, and I have to be somewhere soon.  I've been reflecting on how busy it's been.  We graduated, packed, started working in Rolla, moved while working in Rolla (which means that we may never actually be done unpacking), went to Dallas for Orientation with PBT (which I want to write about, sometime -- maybe when I can be at home and not distracted by all the putting away that's left to do?), came back to Rolla on our anniversary, visited the midwife, celebrated my birthday (Tuesday night with the in-laws and Wednesday afternoon with my mom), hung out with family here for the wedding, today Zephan's sister's getting married, after which we're meeting more of Zephan's family in St. Louis for a surprise family reunion/birthday celebration for Grandma.  And of course, we'll probably get back from that in time to get not enough sleep before we start our next work week.  It promises to be less busy, which I'm really looking forward to.

And besides all of this, I'm all of a sudden feeling about 120% pregnant.

The Last Hurrah

Zephan is on a four day weekend that ends tomorrow.  And then he works ten days in a row.  And then we leave to go to a Be In Health conference in Georgia.  And then we'll be in Rolla for the rest of the summer.  Meanwhile, I have a monster paper to finish and turn in on Thursday.  And then I'll be packing, packing, packing.  :)

We've been trying to smooth out some details, so we spent yesterday in Rolla looking at basements and interviewing midwives.  It. was. exhausting.  But now we have some ducks in a row.

We saw our midwife here in Columbia for the last time this morning, which makes three midwives in 24 hours.  It was a pretty sad thing.  She told me that I had a beautiful belly.  Everything looks fabulous.  I've gained 9 pounds in the last three weeks. (!).  We'll miss her.
