SUMMER!

So it is officially SUMMER!!! YAY! I could not be more relieved.  I have had my best and most enjoyable year teaching this year! I truly believe I have found “my” school and have loved my amazing team (although I did miss my friends from last year!)  I am glad to be able now to take naps and stay off of my feet as the Doctor ordered.

Here is a picture from 24 Weeks 4 Days—definitely feeling this extra weight from my belly….I think I am only carrying “baby” weight in my belly though.  Nothing else seems to me to be growing—some of you may think otherwise though?!?!

Here is another picture I never got around to posting.  After my shower at school and all of my books I knew we were missing one more piece of important furniture.  We made a trip into Houston that weekend and found this bookshelf which matches the other furniture perfectly.  All of the books are placed and I am leaving the bottom shelves empty right now as that is where baskets will go with toys.  We also got our mattress for the baby bed that day and the bed looks so much more finished now.

Now that I am on summer break the curtains and bed-skirt should get made quickly and we will only be missing our sweet little one in the nursery! J

This past weekend 2 of my cousins brought me all of their maternity clothes (and a few other baby goodies) too so now I have plenty to wear—thanks Dee and Dana! J

Also, my SIL Sherrie brought us a swing she had….it matches our room colors perfectly and will be great for the baby! J  Thanks Sherrie!

In other baby news our very active one (as you already know) is definitely becoming stronger each day.  It amazes me how much the little kicks and punches have changed so much and how strong they are right now.  We can also feel (and see) the baby “swimming” around in there….starts in one spot then can be felt moving to another…Nathan loves to watch all of the jumping around in my stomach.  That is usually our nightly entertainment!
