OB appointment & Job fair

I'm having a wonderful spring break! How about you? Monday was prepared childbirth class and we learned even more breathing and gross facts about child birth...fun, fun. Tuesday was a great pre-natal massage and I sooo needed it.

We went to the OB on Wednesday and he reported that all is well. The baby measured appropriately and her heart beat was strong than ever. I told the doctor that I'm just getting really anxious and ready to have my little Georgia in my arms...he warned me that around 37 weeks I'll be absolutely miserable and begging him to "get this thing out of me" and he wanted to warn me now that he won't do that until she is ready...hopeful, huh? That's okay, I'm just glad that with in 6 weeks I'll have the new little love of my life before my eyes. I know that I'm about to find out what true love really is and I can't wait. The other day I was thinking about how God gave his only Son so that we could live. It's always been meaningful to me, but in some way I think that becoming a parent will really help me understand how much love He really showed by giving Jesus up.

Yesterday was a big day for me. After getting up at 4 AM-CRAZY EARLY-I drove to Fort Worth to TCU for their around-the-metroplex interview day. I interviewed with 9 different districts and I got some pretty good leads from a few. Cleburne has a P-K and K job and maybe even a HS Chemistry job for Pat. Cedar Hill seemed to really like me. Waxahachie's rep knows my mother-in-law and goes to Holy Spirit Catholic where I got married. She told me she would definitely be sharing my resume and I'm super excited about that. Everman acted like they were even trying to search high and low for a position for me....so hopefully between all of that I'll get some phone calls and a job! I still have Red Oak's job fair this Saturday and Midlothian's (my top district) next weekend. Pray for us please :).

Me and Mary at the State Fair in the fall.

Today I'm chilling out at Mary and Michael's in Lewisville this morning and any minute Mary will be home and we'll be heading out for a girls' day of lunch out and baby shopping! I'm trying to get some of those things that seem essential that I didn't get at my showers, but I'm not going to completely clean out my registries because I am blessed to have one more shower (and Pat's even invited this time) from all the girls at Pat's vet clinic work. But that one is April 19 and I would just go crazy if I didn't feel like I had the "essentials" way before that. It will be fun though. Pat showed me the invite yesterday and its super cute...sage poke-a-dots and a adorable little water-colored teddy bear. I love that it matches the nursery so well.

Well, I'm off for my girls day. Have a wonderful rest of your break, or week!

Busy Weekend

We have been BUSY this weekend! We decided that it was about time to get the nursery going. So that meant a little shopping, some assembly, lots of clothes washing, laundry folding, organizing, and even a few art projects!

My first project was Georgia's initials...here's the before.

And the after! Not too shabby for a new crafter I think :)

On the wall.

My next project was girl-ing up the curtains with bows and ribbons.

Here are some pics of her nursery so far:

Pat's weekend project...a brisket that was delicious!!!

OB Appointment

I had another OB appointment yesterday. He said my glucose test was a 110-great considering that they are looking for it to be under 126. He said my blood pressure was awesome as well. He measured my belly and we heard the heartbeat again-all good there. So everything is proceeding well and we still expect a due date around May 7, although based on the ultrasounds, it doesn't look like I will deliver any earlier than that. Fine with me-she can take her time and come when she is good and ready. I want a nice healthy (fully cooked-lol) baby!

Georgia is more active than ever! She kicks, stretches, and body slams all the time. Once in a while it's annoying, but mostly I just love knowing that she is strong and healthy. She is also getting big and I'm feeling the stretch in my belly and the pressure on my lungs and stomach. I think she'll probably be a big baby considering that Pat and I were both over 8 lbs. at birth. Cross your fingers that she can fit into the adorable "coming home" outfit I got her (in size NB).

In other news-you may notice some changes to my registry...I decided to go ahead and put some of the things from my Babies R Us registry on to my Target registry as well for the benefit of my BCS/Madisonville friends. I am really looking forward to my showers at school and one hosted by some of the ladies at Pat's vet clinic. If you are looking to buy the sweet girl any clothes-I have tons of 3-6m & 6-9m, so aim for 0-3m & 9-12m. Thanks! :)

My Baby Shower in DeSoto

I had a wonderful shower in DeSoto thanks to my mom, my mother-in-law, my grandma, Katie, Mary, and my sister! Thank you to the hostesses and everyone who came-it was a blast and I love my goodies!!!
