Oh Pregnancy!


Well it started today! Yes, swelling! I have been doing my best to avoid a lot of salty foods (which is hard!!) and drink plenty of water, but it happened. Now I hope that I can stop it before it gets worse. And of course it would happen on a day when I am stuck at school until 5:00. I couldn't wait to get home and get my feet up, they were starting to hurt so bad.

Happy Monday!

Today was a great day at school! First of all my kids were soooo well behaved and that made it so easy to get all of our plans done. Second it was an art day! I love having that extra 40 minutes to plan and relax at the end of the day! Plus the kids love art! They look forward to it all day long. OH YA and it was payday! Seriously the only thing that could make this day better would have been to know that Brett didn't have to go to work. But, he did..oh well we got to pay the bills! At least I got to see him before he left.

Update

Today I went to the doctor. She told me that everything was going great and that I could expect to possibly gain 15-30 more pounds!!! I hope its more like 15!! Next appointment is October 9 and I will have my glucose screening. Hopefully everything continues on the path we are on now. Also, after next appointment I will be making a trip to Topeka every 2 weeks. HELLO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!!! Better start now. Who knows what Decemeber is going to look like!

This week

Well it has been a while since I blogged. I don't have any new pictures yet. Brett will take my picture tomorrow for the growing belly picture! I am looking forward to seeing how much I have grown. I measure often, but I never seem to get any bigger!!! I know its happening, but I just don't notice.
This morning I saw Landen moving in my belly!! That was exciting and creepy at the same time. He is definintely getting stronger. I get the feeling that Brett has been enjoying feeling him move around in my belly! He has been more interested in my belly in the last couple of weeks. I think it was probably really hard for him to get into the whole baby thing since he can't see it, touch it, or hear it yet...Just you wait Brett it is all coming sooner than you can imagine!
I am quickly approaching the 3rd trimester! The home stretch! I have been feeling amazing and looking forward to the next 3 1/2 months. We still have a lot of preparing to do, but I think most of the big things are purchased, set up, and ready to rock!
Friday I have a doctor appointment and I believe it will be the last 4 weeker! I will be making a lot more trips to Topeka soon! For the very first time in my life, I actually look forward to my doctor appointments! It's very odd, but makes it a lot easier to make the 45 minute drive and to take off from school! Which by the way, I am a little nervous about this week because I don't have a person to cover me yet. Last year I was assured that it would be "No Problem" to find a person in the building to cover my class for the last 2 hours of the day. But, I have no one as of today to cover my class on FRIDAY!!! Which stresses me out, being the planner that I am. But anyway. I digress...I will try to post some new pictures soon.
Oh yeah and I got a new hair cut!
