Growing

(This post was started when I was 33 weeks and now I'm 39 weeks.  So, yeah, we are super close to meeting baby girl!!)  

Baby girl is growing and so is my belly!  Looking at my last post compared to these pictures, it is crazy to see how much bigger my belly looks.  I was measuring big at my last appointment, like 2 weeks ahead.  I asked the doctor if that meant we could anticipate an early arrival from baby girl.  He said no, just expect a big baby!  I guess we'll wait and see, we just want her to be healthy! 

As she has grown and is taking up more and more space, it is amazing to watch and feel her move.  I can feel her whole body moving and my stomach will get really tight or she pushes out on one side so my belly will get super lopsided.  It's wild to watch and feel but I love it!  I'm so grateful that I have felt good through this pregnancy.  Even now at 33 weeks, I still sleep well and have lots of energy (can't say the same thing at 39 weeks).  The only frustrating thing has been this super crazy cold that I got two weeks ago and am still fighting!  It stinks but is getting better, slowly getting better!  We are so excited to meet baby girl and love her like crazy already!

 

 

 

This was my first day back to teaching!

 We missed a few weeks there, we'll blame that on the busyness of a new job! 

This last picture was a couple weeks ago, hopefully I can get another before she comes.  That actually is a lot more realistic this week now that I am on maternity leave!  I will say that I love my job.  It has been so fun and has worked out very well.  I am teaching foods part-time at the high school.  The students are great and I love working with another teacher.  We plan together, take turns grocery shopping, and just have lots of fun!  It has also made the transition to having a long-term sub so much easier.  The other teacher is planning with the sub and is there to help which means I don't have to write daily sub plans, and that my friends is a huge blessing!  So now my plans are to relax, sleep, clean, relax, bake, relax, finish the nursery, and have this baby!  We'll wait and see in what order all of that gets accomplished!  :)
