On the 6th, Shaye and I got to attend my SIL, Tracie’s, nurses pinning. I’m so very proud of her for sticking it out and getting her nursing degree. Think she said she already has a job set up for her at Midland Memorial Hospital this summer.
Last Thursday we went to Odessa to see Dani’s end of year gymnastics show off. Personally I think she did great but she told me I better not put this video on the internet. Too bad I didn’t listen to her, huh? [Video Source]
Not that many of you know about this yet, but this summer Dani will no longer be a citizen of Texas. Her & Mandi will be moving to Lafayette, LA at the end of July. She’s already enrolled to attend Lafayette High School and is actually there today to test for GT classes next fall. We were really upset at first, especially Mac, but I think it will be ok. We’ll be missing out on alot of happenings in her life and the same for her in Shaye and Gage’s but it’s not the end of the world, we’ll still get her on holidays and summers, etc. We already have accounts set up on skype, so hopefully we’ll get to talk to her more. Plus in September when Mac’s cousin, Aaron, get’s married, we’re going to drive through Louisiana and pick Dani up. Shaye won’t be coming since it’s her first year in school and we wouldn’t want her to miss but Dani will get to spend some one-on-one time with the baby and get to see alot of family that we haven’t seen in forever. Even though Dani won’t be in Odessa next school year, she was invited to join the Permian varsity high school gymnastics team.
Shaye baby is doing good. I go to the school tomorrow to register her for kindergarten. She tells me she wants to stay at daycare to be with all her friends and I try to remind her that they are going to ‘big school’ too so they won’t be there but it’s not really sinking into her thick skull 
her friend, Cameron will get to go to school in Wink with her next year so I think she is really happy about that but she would much rather him go to daycare with her lol.. I’m thinking she doesn’t really like change lol.
We went to the doctor on Tuesday for a regular checkup. From what baby center says, Gage should be around 2.25 lbs and aroun 14.5 inches. And I think that is right around what the doctor said. He told me that we’ll be scheduling the c-section for around 37-38 weeks which will be the last 2 weeks of July. That’s IF I make it that long. Mom told me to quit being pessimistic and that he could very well be a normal size baby carried full-term, but I just can’t help it. Sorry, that’s just who I am lol.
Jeff’s daughter, Teri, helped us out quite a bit by giving us all of her youngest son’s clothes, a dresser, changing table and swing. It’s helped us out alot but there is still stuff that we need so if you are feeling generous I have a baby registry set up for things we still need.
Shaye baby is doing good. She has a big goose-egg on the back of her head because she fell off the couch. I’m not entirely sure if that’s what really happened because it’s a pretty big knot for just rolling off a couch but that’s the story she’s sticking with. I was in my room resting and heard a loud crash come from the living room. It popped up fast and was about the size of a golfball. And purple, man was it purple. It scared the CRAP out of me lol. But there was no concussion just a small headache. She’s doing just fine with it, its gone down quite a bit but still a little purple. I think I’m going to get her 5 yr old pics taken soon. She hasn’t had any pictures done since last fall and I don’t have a good picture for a birthday invitation. She’s decided this year she wants a swimming party. We rented the pool in Monahans that is smaller than most pools but is more for the littler kids like Shaye. The only thing is they started taking reservations for the pool at 8 am on April 1st. I got ahold of them at 8:15 and they had no weekends left for the summer and none for the week of her birthday. The closest to her birthday I could get was Wednesday, June 17th. So, sorry people who can’t come on Wednesday.
