29 Weeks

Today marks 29 weeks! I was suppose to have a doctors appointment today, but once again...the doc is on vaca. So now I go on Tuesday instead and I'm really looking forward to it. Hearing her heartbeat is very exciting. My appointment after next will be an ultrasound! Yay! I haven't seen her since Jan 3rd!
Below are some belly pics that Jackson took right before I ate an awesome homemade hamburger for supper! haha Also are a few pics from Denver.

                                                            My belly is definitely growing!!

                                       Yes, I have boobs....but the comfy sports bra hides them! haha

 

  Ignore the poweder sugar on my shirt.....I leaned against my dessert plate and didn't notice until after we took the pic!!

Spring Break

Spring Break is finally here!!! Whoo-hoo!!
Last week, Wed-Saturday, our district SWPBS team attended the national conference in Denver, Colorado. We learned lots of positive behavior strategies to share with our campuses. That Friday, we actually did a presentation on what our district is already doing. The presentation went well, and we received some positive feedback from the crowd. Since we did not get back to EC until around mid-night old time, I spent most of Sunday sleeping!

Monday morning I woke up early and headed to Wharton to take my 3 hour glucose test. Apparently my 1 hour one came back boderline so they had me retake it. I must say that the lemon-lime drink I got this time was much better than the orange one! The bad part was getting blood drawn 4 times!! Ouch! My arm hurt so bad after the first two that they used my hands for the others. :(   After lunch I decided to tackle Maggie's room/closet. I went through ALL of the clothes that friends have passed down to her. I seperated them by size and began washing and organizing! It was very exciting and surreal to be doing it! When Jackson got home, he said he could see the "mommy glow" all over my face. I'm pretty sure I saw it on his too when he was helping me hang the clothes on the line! I wasn't planning on doing all of the washing yet, but when Samantha pointed out the fact that in 7 weeks I will be 36 wks, and the baby will be good to come when ready....I paniced a little!

Today, me, mom, Alicia, and Layton ran into Sugar Land. The #1 item on the agenda was to sign the consent forms at the hospital, but they were booked so I have to go back another day. We headed to Babies R' Us to get a few things and then stopped off at Target to get our friend Randa a gift for her upcoming baby shower. Now that I'm home, I'm back to working on Maggie's room. However, I could take a nap! haha
As for the rest of the week, I plan on relaxing, finishing up the room, playing Bunco, and watching Clay show turkeys at the HOuston Livestock Show on Friday. O...and eating yummy crawfish at Mindy's 30th birthday party on Saturday! Yum-Yum!

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather!!

O - to all the mommys out there....what is your preference on swings....Right now I have the kind that swings three different directions, but the baby won't be able to sit up in it. Should I get one that they can sit up more in or not????  Just curious!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Last week was super crazy for me! Monday was a "normal" day at work and class, Tuesday my kids took the Writing TAKS test...now that was a long day!! For those of you that do not know...as the kids test, the teacher as to walk around and monitor the whole time. The kids can't get out of their chair, can't talk...NOTHING!!! It is very stressful and tiring!! Wednesday and Thursday, I spent half the days at the Middle School observing ARDs for my practicum hours. Friday was then a "normal" day....and ended with happy hour(s) here at the house!
As for the weekend....Jen had her first wedding shower that turned out very nice and she got lots of fantastic gifts! After the shower mom and I took my crib - that was delivered all banged and scratched up- back to Babies R Us and got a new one. Jackson and I -well more him than me -put it together today! I absolutely love it!!! This is Maggie's gift from her Nana. Jackson of course put Annie in it to try it out and she went nuts...so I guess it will work for the baby!! Afterwards, I put on some shorts and a tank and climbed in a lawn chair and got some sun! I even tried to tan my belly - one of the joys of living in the country is no one can see you! haha We ended the day with a delicous meal made by Slade! He's such a good cook!

This week is going to be very busy also. Tomorrow will be spen preparing my kiddos for the two benchmark tests they have this week as well as attending a few ARDs, and class in Victoria. Tuesday I will spend the morning back at the Middle School getting observation hours, and will end the day back with my kiddos. The good news is that our NEW bedroom furniture will be here Tuesday afternoon!! Whoo-Hoo!! Wednesday morning we fly out to Denver for the International SWPBS conference for 3 days. I know you all may think "Wow...that's a vacation!" NOT! We will spend the days attending different sessions that provide info for us to bring to our campuses. However, on Friday, ECISD will be doing a presentation on our district. We have always done well and have had many people interested in how great our district is. Hopefully this year will be just as great! We will be returning back to EC late Saturday night.
As for Miss Maggie, she is growing!! The people that see me often told me this weekend that I am growing! yay! But of course the ones I don't see that often still tell my I look small! But that's ok...I'm sure I will pop within the next month! haha Maggie has been super hyper lately! I just lay in bed and watch my belly move! It's such an awesome experience!!

I hope everyone has a GREAT week!!!
