31 Weeks

How far along? 31 weeks, 5 days
Total weight gain: I'm guessing 26 lbs. I weighed myself yesterday morning and it said I had lost a couple lbs. So, I tried weighing myself 2 more times to make sure that number was correct and all three times it gave me a different number. I'm going with the average of all 3.
Maternity clothes? I can still wear some of my regular tops but am wearing all maternity pants and several dresses

Stretch marks? Not yet
Sleep: Is becoming more and more difficult. I toss and turn trying to find a comfortable position (using several pillows as well) but it takes a while. Also, when I wake up my hips and rear are sore.
Best moment this week: Being showered with love and gifts for our sweet baby girl at the school shower.

Miss Anything? I guess this week I really miss just being able to sit and sleep comfortably. I don't want to be one of those women that complains about her pregnancy for so many weeks that people just want to say "shut up!", so i'm going to be more positive. I know it will all be worth it in about 8 weeks. :)
Movement: Lots! She has started stretching in there or something. I will feel a really tight spot where it appears that she is pushing her foot or hand out.
Food cravings: Sweets....a student brought in a HUGE bag of M&M's for PASS snacks. I will catch myself eating handfuls of them daily.
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: feet are swollen most of the time.
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!
Looking forward to: Summer break!!! I keep telling myself we will get everything together once school ends.





This has been a WILD WEEK!!! The end of school is always a busy time. On Wednesday we went to Clemson University as an end of the year field trip, Thursday we had a 'good behavior' carnival and my school shower, and then we began MAP testing today. Along with the craziness of the end of the year, my principal threw us all for a loop on Friday. She told us that the class coming up is not large enough to support 4th grade having 6 teachers. So, my team teacher is going to do a Science/ Math lab class, I will (once again) have a new partner, and fourth grade will have a self-contained classroom. Angie, my principal, wants to make this as easy on me as possible (being that i'm pregnant), but this change most likely means I will be moving classrooms. Nathan is not pleased with this because really it means he will be moving classrooms. So anyway, that's been the drama around here lately. Maybe by the end of June things will calm down.

30 Weeks

So, I must again apologize....I did not get around to a 29 week pic or post. Life seems to be getting extremely busy around here. With the end of the school year plus trying to prepare for sweet baby girl it's becoming taxing on both of us.
Week 30 has been the craziest yet. I have run poor Nathan ragged trying to get the house ready for our visitors coming this weekend. We've gone non-stop this entire week with appointments, shopping, cleaning, and home projects (which never seem to go as planned). I'm basically trying to say that Nathan is an amazing husband and I don't deserve him. I know he won't read this but I love you hun! You're going to be a fantastic dad! :)
