Progress...

While there are SO many things I want to blog about in the last couple of months (the holidays, our trip to Maui, baby showers, our weekend trip to So Cal, etc.), the biggest news is quite literally, well, BIG. As in my belly. Our baby is 34 weeks old and should be making his/her debut into the world sometime next month. I am feeling very pregnant these days, and as one of my students so eloquently said, I look as if I "swallowed a basketball". Oh the joy of working with 14-16 year olds every day, you know you are jealous ;)

On the medical side, so far everything seems to be going well. I feel our little baby squirming around every day and all check-ups have gone smoothly thus far. (Please keep your fingers crossed this continues!) I am getting a little anxious now that we are getting closer, but super excited as well. We still have A LOT to do before the baby gets here, but two recent baby showers (which I hope to blog about soon) have helped a ton, and we still have one more. The baby room is pretty much non-existent, but that is going to be my spring break project. Currently our weekends are simply too busy to spend much time to prepare  the "nest", so that is something I look forward to doing over break since Joe will be stuck working. Then it's back to work for 2 weeks after break and then it will be showtime! I can't believe we will have a son or daughter next month, but ready or not here it comes :)

And how could I forget the sweetest daddy and big brother to be! They are also getting very excited for the arrival of our newest little buddy :)
