Tonight my back hurts, my belly is stretched to its limit, and I'm swollen and exhausted. But, I don't feel like I'm going to throw up, and the headaches have died down. So I try not to complain, except for when I do.
I'm officially huge. Today a 1-year-old boy was mesmerized by my enormous belly. He couldn't take his eyes off of it and reached his little pointer finger out to touch it about ten times. Then tonight, a 5-year-old boy looked at me and said, "What's that great big thing?" I said, "It's my belly." He still didn't believe it and said, "No, I mean that," pointing at my belly.
Will has taken to lovingly calling me his "big, fat mama."
How can I possibly grow for 2 more months?

easter retrospective
I know it was a while ago, but I needed to post a little bit about it. We had the annual Easter egg hunt in the cold this year. But, the kids always love it anyway.
Make this next picture bigger and check out Will's facial expression when he saw the egg in the grass:
We decorated eggs and made a peep tree. I didn't take pictures. The camera I know how to operate is not working. So, I'm at Brandon's mercy for a little while. You'll just have to trust me that they were amazingly cute. Ha ha.
We watched General Conference, colored, did puzzles, and folded origami. And, we had Brandon's whole family over for dinner. Once again, no pictures.
The Easter bunny found his way in the snow. Elsa asked a few days before Easter if the Easter bunny was a real bunny or just a person dressed up like a bunny. I like to defer tough questions, so I asked her what she thought. She thinks it's a person dressed up like a bunny.
Enjoying the Easter bunny's gifts:
My favorite Easter conversation:
Henry: What do eggs have to do with Easter?
Me: Eggs are a symbol of life because life comes from eggs, and at Easter we celebrate the resurrection and that we'll live again. Blah blah blah.
Henry: What does candy have to do with Easter?
Me: I think the candy's just for fun.
Elsa: I know what candy has to do with Easter. When you eat a lot of candy, you get sick. And sometimes when you get sick, you die. So that helps us think about the resurrection.
Happy late Easter!
