We made it through another month! It seemed pretty dang long for me. It was a busy time.  I learned that my friend Jessie got a job and will be moving nearby.  Our house was hit my a hailstorm, so we've been dealing with the insurance on that. We treked to Wichita yesterday to get some things for our computer and to visit aunt Jennifer's family. Aunt Jaimee and Breonna are coming to stay over today so that Jeridy and Michael can go to the final Symphony performance. Michael has had several freelance jobs to keep him busy in addition to watching the girls as I work late and finish my classes.

At the doctor visit the other day, I was already thinned and dialated to a 2. When the baby decides to come, it shouldn't take terribly long (I hope).

I've become a giant! My icky swelling has progressed throughout the month to make me look absolutely horrible. I don't fit in any shoes and even my face and hands are swelling. Moving about isn't so easy and I'm too dang tired to do a whole lot. Still, I'm getting through with my classes and I'm still working full time for now. UH! Whine, whine. I guess baby will come out soon and it will all be over wiith.

This weekend we got through the girls' clothes and put out summer things. We also moved furniture around to be sure that baby boy's room is ready. We even put out all of the boy newborn items in his drawers and bought tiny diapers. We're all set! Now all we need is the baby.

We all went to the circus with Mike, Signa and Olivia this past Friday. Our pictures didin't turn out so hot since it was dark. The girls enjoyed the tigers, dogs, and horses the most. Bethany made it through without being too scared. I think Signa and I had the hardest time. Signa is due the exact same day as I am! That's too funny, since Olivia and Emily share the exact same birthday too.

We spent Easter weekend at home in Otis. The girls got to go to even more egg hunts, to church, and spent time with cousins. They enjoyed time at the farm riding go carts and coloring eggs. They were hopped up on candy as they played at Otis too.

This weekend was so busy that I can't even talk about it all. We just put up an entire section of pictures dedicated to this weekend in the picture section. Grandma and Grandpa Oetken came down, there was the bank egg hunt, K-State had their open house, and we had a party in Otis for cousin Karley's first birthday. Busy, busy!

I went to work a bit on Saturday and came back to new dresses for the girls. Michael went out and got them pretty Easter dresses and hats. What posers they are!
