25 weeks down, 15 weeks to go 🙂
More soon to follow- today I am 26 weeks along! Can you believe it is the LAST WEEK of my SECOND TRIMESTER??
I start teaching again one week from today- I cannot believe how fast summer flew by! I didn’t tell any of my students that I was expecting last school year- so I’m preparing myself for the multitude of comments and questions from my ever-so-curious kids. Also, when the Headmaster asked if I was pregnant in May, I acted completely offended and asked him why he would say that- he was mortified, apologized over and over, then scurried off down the hall, red-faced. Trust me, this is a typical conversation in our professional relationship, however, usually the joke is on me! 😉 (And all of the other teachers and principals are completely aware of baby, and the joke on Mr. B). I can only imagine what his plan of revenge will entail when I come in to work next Monday. Whatever it is, it will have been worth it to see that look on his face. 🙂 We have such a great work family, I don’t know how I got that lucky. And I feel even more fortunate to be able to have Baby be a part of it.
We dropped our foster daughters off at a week long sleep away camp this past weekend. So, in addition to my last week of summer vacay, we also have a week all to ourselves! We slept in until 10:30 today!! First time in MONTHS that I haven’t been wide awake at 7:30. We have been enjoying it so much already! (Although, even on our “break,” we noticed we are talking about them all the time- wondering what they are doing, if they are having fun at camp, etc). I can only imagine how hard it will be to drop our own son off at camp for the first time! 🙂
Yesterday was another one of those days where I felt like I could actually see my belly grow! I told Ian last night that my belly grew a lot during the day, he started laughing and said he noticed the same thing yesterday afternoon, but didn’t think that I would appreciate a comment like that. 🙂 We will post pics soon.

It seems like every day our incredible next door neighbors are knocking on our door with more of the cutest baby things imaginable. I cannot believe how lucky we are to have such great friends. They have saved us thousands of dollars in baby necessities. Yesterday they brought us over an inflatable rubber-duckie swimming pool and an activity mat for baby, and the day before, they brought over this GORGEOUS Bertini bassinet. If I could only figure out where to find this Valencia pattern, the whole nursery would be decorated like this. I love it. Not to mention the bassinet rocks and plays five different songs to help soothe the baby to sleep. I think this will be one of his favorite places.
Little Numero Uno is now strong enough to make my belly visibly move when he kicks. Yesterday I had a bowl of chili sitting on my baby bump while I was eating lunch. This obviously was not to his liking because I took my hands off of it for a split second and he kicked it off, spilling tomato sauce all over my white shirt. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. When Ian got home, baby showed off his new trick to his daddy, who was just as amazed as I was- No tomato sauce involved this time.
Tomorrow is our 25 week doctor appointment. I can’t wait to find out how big he is now. 🙂 We will make sure to let you know what we find out.
