Getting Closer!

I went to the doctor on Thursday of this week to have my Rhogam shot, some bloodwork done and an ultrasound. Janie's heart rate was 149 and she weighed approx. 3 lbs and 1 oz- right on target for other 29 week old babies!! When we saw the doctor he was very pleased with everything and we are now beginning to see him every 2 weeks, again. I just can't believe in 10 weeks (tomorrow) or less Seth and I will be parents... wow!

Other news: My mom comes home next weekend- finally! I can't wait to see her and I know she is ready to get back. So keep them in your prayers as they begin their trip back from CA. I'm not sure how long it will take them, but I'm sure there will be very few stops on the way back!!

Update!

I have been slacking! When I get home from work the last thing I want to do is get on the computer- and when I do get on the computer it is to check facebook (I'll admit- I'm partially addicted!). Anyways- we are into our 2nd week of school and things are going great. I have definitely had to adjust from teaching math and resource to my new classroom, but I really love my kids and I have some great aides that help me out!! This week began our community outings, too. We go to the library and bowling once a week and the kids have done really well with the change in schedule- I think they enjoy getting outside of the classroom!! As for me, I'm holding up! My back tends to hurt towards the end of the day and my ankles have been swelling, but I am in the 3rd trimester and only have 11 weeks and 4 days until Janie arrives, so I can deal with a hurting back and swollen ankles for that much longer!! I still can't believe that it is getting so close!! Seth is also having a good start to his school year- he really enjoys his kids and the people he works with- so that is always a good thing!! Also- Seth is thinking about going back to school, so if you don't mind, say a little prayer for him that he finds exactly what he wants to go back for and that everything falls into place for him. I really want him to go back (I don't have the "want" to go back right now) and I just pray that he can figure things out and hopefully begin soon!!

As for Janie Ann- she is moving around- A LOT! Especially in the morning time when I am getting ready and at night when I am ready to go to bed!! The past 2 mornings she has also been really active right when I get to school, from about 7:30 to 9:00. I go back to the doctor next Thursday for my Rhogam Shot (my blood type is negative and Seth's is positive- imagine that! :)) and an ultrasound to see how big she is getting- please say a prayer that everything is still going great. I'm trying my hardest to keep my bloodsugars at the level the Dr. wants (80-100), but it is difficult and I have had some low bloodsugars, which means I have to eat, which means I have probably gained more weight than what the Dr would like, but that will all be OK as long as Janie Ann is fine!!

Another prayer request, while I'm thinking of it, Seth's parents and grandparents, and my grandparents, along with a lot of people from our church are leaving Thursday night at midnight to go on an Alaskan Cruise (I'm jealous)- so just pray for their safety as they travel.

No belly picture update- but as soon as I get one, I will post it! :)

Made it!!

Well, the first day of school for our students have come and gone and I'm still alive. Barely...but I'm still alive!! Overall it was a great day, just exhausting getting everyone used to the new school and the new schedule. The only problem I forsee is our lunch time- we eat at the last lunch wave and it doesn't begin until 1:08 and I had some pretty hungry kids on my hands before 1:08 arrived!! We are going to try to post-pone breakfast a little later and see if that will help some. But I am really looking forward to my new classroom and new responsiblities!! As for Seth, he is exhausted too- he had to stay after school for about an hour making sure he had reciepted all the money correctly and had everything in place for tomorrow- which is very rare for Seth to do! So, needless to say, we are both going to clock out early tonight and begin again tomorrow!

Forgetful...

Well, it's happened- I have completely lost my mind! Today at lunch I was making magic cake and mixed the cake batter up, poured it in the pamered chef pan and began to cook the cake...the only thing is I completely forgot the "Magic" part of the cake! I forgot to put the icing into the batter before cooking it!! I have often forgotten things, but put it off as being busy. But now I'm going to blame it on the pregnancy! Hopefully tomorrow I won't forget where I'm supposed to be and when! Please say a prayer for me and my students tomorrow as it is their first day back! Hopefully I won't forget anything!!

Last Day of Summer

Well, today is our last day before heading back to the real world! While I am very grateful for my job, it is just tough after having 2.5 months off to get back into the routine. Especially for me knowing that in a couple of months I will be out again....couldn't I just hang out until Janie Ann arrives? :) You would think that on my last day I would be soaking up the sun next to the pool...wrong! I am at home washing clothes and trying to get everything ready to go back and Seth was kind enough to take my grandfather back to the doctor in Montgomery for his check-up. (Everything is going great with his eye, by the way!!). So anyways... I will be waking up super early in the morning and heading back to the real world...
