update from the doctor

I had my OB appointment on Monday, and much to my disappointment, he decided to wait one more month before doing another ultrasound. He wants to give my placenta a little more time to move on up, so I guess that good, but no news as to confirmation of the sex of the baby. Until we hear otherwise, though, we are assuming that it is indeed a girl...90% from the doctor or not.

The doctor said that she looks like she's growing just fine and my due date of May 7 looks accurate. All's well!

I'm really looking forward to my baby shower in Dallas at the beginning of March-Thanks to my mom, my mother-in-law, and my 2 best friends Katie and Mary. I'm sure it's going to be awesome. Mostly, I'm just pumped to see all my Dallas friends again.

Have a good Wednesday!

growing belly :)

Just a few belly pictures for ya! I'll be updating Monday after my next OB appointment too :).

Week 21

Week 22


Week 24-Now (sorry we missed 23)

My cousin, Jimmy's new baby boy Jesse James Jones. This was taken at Christmas. He is so tiny and precious! Looks like it will be a fun Christmas next year at my grandma's house!

back to school

After two blissful weeks of Christmas break, I'm back at school this week. I think I need a few days to get used to thing again because boy am I tired! My kids at school have been really well behaved though, so I really can't complain.

Georgia has been busy busy busy kicking more and more often. She almost always wakes me up in the morning, then gets active again between 3 and 5 p.m., and once more right before bed. I love knowing that I am feeling my baby in there-simply amazing! Pat was able to feel almost every kick that I did last night and I know it made him feel good and more of a part of what is happening with her lately.

Is it weird that sometimes I worry that I actually have a little boy in there and that I am offending him when I call him Georgia? I guess we'll be double checking soon anyway.

I'm working hard on job applications for schools in DFW for next year. My top picks are Midlothian, Mansfield, Waxahachie, Venus, and Alvarado. I think I'm addicted to smaller districts now...or at least not quite so "urban". My year in DeSoto was enough of that.

Pat is hard at work too on applications and preparing to take the first of his certification exams. The first one is over the actual biology content. I'm sure that he'll do great, but I know it's gotta be a challenge to get those juices flowing again after 2 and a half years out of college. He's getting his certification for high school biology through iTeachTexas.com and I'm super excited for him!
