Well, the school year will kick off tomorrow. We got our schedules on Friday and I'll be splitting time between our 9th and 10th grade campus and the elementary school. It's sort of funny. I was told my home campus would be the 9th and 10th grade (high school) campus and then was asked (via email) if I'd be willing to transfer to the elementary school; that it would help me make my dr's appointments w/o having to take time off, etc...and, "Since it's only for one semester, it wouldn't be terrible." :p Yeah, that says a lot, eh? I politely declined. Interestingly enough, I am now practically spending the whole rest of the day at the elementary school with a 2nd grader. One class at the high school and that's it. Odd? I say typical. :-)
I guess we'll see how I do preggers and traveling from campus to campus. Also, I'll have to go out to recess (and I also have "specials" which alternates between MUSIC (ha ha ha..I hate music...try interpreting "The snake baked a hoecake and set the frog to watch it.."), art, and PE. LOVE PE. Art is fine. Music, not so much. I'm sure it will be ok. I just prefer the upper level kiddos.
As far as OUR kiddo is doing, he's kicking and rolling and poking and prodding. I'm still thankful for that. I keep having people tell me that it will start becoming uncomfortable soon, but I like the fact that I know he's "alive and kicking." Yesterday, I didn't feel him move and that got me concerned. I think I was just too busy to sit still and really feel him.
My family threw us a shower a few weeks ago in Alabama and the boy is set for a while as far as clothes go. We got a lot of clothes!!! One of my sisters is personally responsible for most of his wardrobe!! I'm really anxious to get our crib and a few other things b/c I want to get the nursery going. I can't do a whole lot...but I have the urge to NEST!! We got a bassinet at a thrift store the other day for $10! Can you believe it??? I was hoping to use the play yard we registered for (it has a removable bassinet thingy), but since we hadn't gotten it yet, I decided to take advantage of such a great deal. The crib we picked out converts to a toddler bed then a day bed and then a full sized bed. That's one thing I want out of our stuff. I know babies outgrow things quickly, so my thought is, if it costs a lot, it better last!!
Well, its time to go and get things ready for the week. Hope all is well with you guys!
Oh, I go for my glucose tolerance test on Wednesday and also another ultrasound. I am really hoping I'm not prone to gestational diabetes, but diabetes does run in my family. I've been doing pretty good as far as weight gain goes, but since the doctor made me cut out diet sodas (I also haven't had hardly any caffeine) as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I'm worried. I've been drinking water, juice, and decaffeinated things, but they mostly have sugar (other than the water, of course).
Anyway..better run!! I'll try to remember to check back in after my appointment (or at least the results!).
Take care!!!
