Eight Months!


I have mixed feelings at this point. I am elated that I've made it to eight months and scared to death! I feel like "I can't believe it's already 8 months" and like "it's about time" at the same time! I am feeling more uncomfortable now- but it's not too bad. I am noticing back pains that I didn't have before. I think my running days my be coming to an end soon. The last two times I've tried to run, I've ended up cramping instead. I plan on taking up swimming when I go out on Maternity leave. I only have 11 more days of work!

We have painted the nursery (and every other room in the house), and only need a bookcase in there. I am going to paint a saying and little butterflies on the walls this weekend. I will post pictures if it turns out- I'm not artistic or crafty at all! I had a small shower last weekend and recieved some gift certificates and items I still needed. I am hoping to buy the rest of the things during spring break in two weeks. I am feeling a little overwhelmed at all that I want to get done before she arrives. I need to get my classroom and home ready. I did buy scrapbooking supplies today and plan on premaking the album. That way all I will have to do is add the pictures and journal once she's here.

Funny story: I was looking up the Breast Feeding class on my computer before class started one day last week. It was taking forever to pull up, so I left it and ran to the office. When I returned after the bell rang, I turned on my projector and had my kids start their warm up like normal. I was really frustrated when I heard some of them snickering around the room. I was just about to get on thier case when I looked up and saw what was so funny! On my big screen for all to see was "Preparing to Breast Feed class Schedule". I was SOO embarrassed! I said, "Well who is taking that class?" And turned it off quickly. I am so thankful I will not have to return to school after I leave for the rest of the year. I didn't really want my 3rd period knowing I was planning on breast feeding!

So I know that story was embarassing for you but it was funny to read! You look wonderful and I'm glad you are feeling good too! I stopped working about a week before I had Peyton and I'm so glad I did. It gave me time to soak it all in!
