This and That

My summer is quickly winding down, and it has made me one busy person!

First of all, not much to report on pregnancy, which is good at this point! I went to the doctor this past week, and everything is looking good! I had a sonogram, and the baby looks great! I turned 35 weeks yesterday, and I am still feeling pretty good. I am tired and starting to ache some, but besides that I am great! I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks. I will be right at 37 weeks when I go back!

I can't believe how close it's getting! We have been so busy trying to get everything ready. We switched Ava to a toddler bed in a new room, and the transition has been SO smooth....praise the Lord! The nursery is slowly getting there, but I feel like I still have a lot to do to get it ready. I am just trying to take it one day at a time!

I have also been trying to get my plans done for my maternity leave. I found out this past week that I am going to have an AWESOME sub in my room, and that makes me feel SO good! I am hoping to get the basic plans done by tomorrow, and add a little more detail as needed next week. Speaking of next week, I can't believe I go back to school MONDAY. The summer has gone so fast. The students do not come in until the 9th, so that is good that I have a little more time to prepare for them.

I just wanted to give an update on what's going on with us. I will try my best to do better with updating a little more frequently. I want to be able to look back at the blog in the future to help me remember! :)

Have a great weekend!

30 Week and 31 Week Update

It's been awhile! We were out of town last week, and this is my first chance to really get to post. I figured I might as well just combine my 30 and 31 week update.

Everything is going great. My c-section is scheduled for August 25th (8 weeks from yesterday). I am feeling great, and I have been loving the fact that it has been a little cooler this week.

I am trying not to stress out about the fact that we have SO much to get done....my summer break is sneaking away from me, and I hoped to have a lot marked off my "to-do" list before school starts for me on August 2nd-I am not sure that's going to happen though.

Originally, we were going to keep Ava in her crib and buy a new one for the baby. HOWEVER, she is about to the point where she can climb out of her crib, so we figured it would just be safer to go ahead and switch her to a toddler bed. I ordered it yesterday, and it should be in the next couple of weeks. She will be switching beds and rooms. We plan to go ahead and make this transition as soon as the bed comes in. The baby will just use the crib Ava is in now, and the nursery will stay where it is. However, I did get the baby new bedding so I will be decorating the nursery just a little different than it is now. I think that will actually cut down on some of the work we were going to have to do, though.

I have also got to get in my classroom in the next couple of weeks. I want to get it ready as soon as possible so I won't have to worry about that later. I WILL go back to school the first few weeks...I will probably work up until I have the baby. I want to have as much time at home with the new baby as possible. :)

SO much going on, but it's all so exciting at the same time!!!
