• Easter

  Guess what.  Easter dawned…and still no baby.  The beginning of the 40th week of pregnancy.  Wow.  I had thought FOR SURE that the baby would DEFINITELY have been here by now.  I hemmed and hawed and finally decided to go to church…there was an Easter BREAKFAST after all.  Terribly exciting for people like me.  :)  Yummy egg casseroles and whatnot, with cinnamon rolls and things…a little carrot to for me to follow.  

  A few nights before this, tossing and turning and just SO miserable and tired of being pregnant, I had just BEGGED God to let me go into labor that night.  But the days were still ticking past, and no baby.  On Easter morning, I did, however wake up with a giant contraction, that led me to believe that SURELY I MUST be going into labor that day.  But there was no contraction to follow that one…so off to church I went.  And quite enjoyed myself, I must say.  

  The boys got some Russell Stover chocolate bunnies from a friend at church.  

  

  I told them to sit on the steps and show me their bunnies so I could take a picture.  Zion thought that I said “show me your tummy.”  :)  

  Here I am in all my pregnantedness.

  We had a relaxing, atypical Easter lunch consisting of hot dogs on the grill for the boys and Tim and leftovers for me.  :)  We had actually had an invitation to go have a proper Easter lunch, but I just didn’t feel up to it.  The boys ate at their picnic table outside and splashed in the pool – it was warm and beautiful outside.  

  

  I started having regular contractions again in the afternoon, and after some conversation, Mom decided to drive out that evening.  I (semi)joked with her, “We’ll have a nice contraction-less day tomorrow and get the office painted.”  :)
