Week 38

The countdown begins.......we are at week 38. Time is going very fast right now! I go the to dr weekly and this week's appointment went very well. The heartrate wouldn't stay at one number...imagine that :) It was anywhere from 130-140. I am not dialated at all yet either so hopefully by this coming week, we see some progress there. I feel that the baby has dropped and is permanently sitting on my bladder. We are so excited and anxious to meet our new addition to our family!

I have been back to school for 2 weeks. The kids started last Tuesday. Every night I am exhausted!!! Troy has been wonderful and made supper every night for me. I try to lay low and keep my feet up at night so I don't get swollen. So far, I haven't gotten too swollen throughout the day. The air conditioning was not working in my room for a few days last week so that was not fun at all. My students have been wonderful and very helpful! They are so curious about the baby and are dying to know what it is. I told them last week that I was going to the dr and the next morning one of my girls said, "where's your baby? I want to see your baby." She doesn't quite understand that when the baby arrives I won't be at school for many weeks. I've been prepping them that I will be gone for awhile and that their schedule will still remain the same. I don't want their structure to change much at all because they rely on that.

The past couple weekends we have layed low so that has been very helpful. This weekend we went to the Marshalltown football game. It was beautiful weather! Then Saturday we didn't do much of anything. Today we went to a couple's wedding shower for friends of ours, James and Allie. They get married in October and I am her personal attendant. I am very honored and can't wait for their special day. I have to say that Troy and I were the official bags game champions! We brought home the title. I pulled through and had to carry Troy :) We had a great time.

I hope everyone has a great week and I will update after my dr appt this week. I pray for good news!
