Summer Break

Summer break is well under way, and I must say I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. I've hardly had time to get bored, I find things to do daily. I've kept the house pretty clean, kept the yard mowed, got the baby's room cleaned out, done the grocery shopping...lots of stuff to keep busy with. One afternoon I went to Starbucks and updated the baby's journal and read some about raising boys. Tomorrow I need to go to my classroom and get some things cleaned up and moved around.
The baby making is coming along nicely. I haven't been to the doctor for a few weeks now, but I'm feeling pretty good. I really feel like I'm starting to get big, I'm definitely more aware of the belly these days. I've been able to nap regularly so that helps me to feel better. I've been walking in the mornings and it seems to have kept the swelling down on those days and then I feel like I've done something good for the day. I am not looking forward to my next doctor visit because I know I will be over the "magic number" I've tried so hard to stay under. I know I'm pregnant and weight gain is a part of that, but still, it's not good for the self esteem. We have the armorer in Cade's room and even have some clothes hanging it in. The crib is put together too, and the changing table is sitting out waiting for 2 replacement pieces. It's starting to feel like we really might be having a baby, but 10 weeks still seems so far away. And I can't even really imagine what the whole labor process will be like or what it will be like to have a baby in the house all the time. If I could picture it, I think it would seem more real. We've been going to our baby classes, that's going good. We had 2 class sessions of breast feeding, which was more interesting than I thought it would be. In some respects I think it will be a piece of cake, but on the other hand, I know there wouldn't be 2 class sessions if it was really that easy. We've had 1 session of lamaze so far, the first class wasn't all that beneficial, but the others probably would be. The part I'm looking forward to with lamaze class is at the last class session we get a tour of the hospital and that I can't wait to do!
My dad's birthday was yesterday and I have yet to buy him something. He is so dang difficult to buy for!! We just did father's day it seems, and now I have to come up with a kick ass present since it's his 50th birthday and all.
Well, I guess that's about all that is going on for now, consider yourself updated.
