26 1/2 weeks

I am really bad about remembering to take pictures! I am so sorry Kimberly! :) I havent had really any new symptoms. She is kicking a lot more now and really hard and I love it! It gives me the reassurance that she is ok. The only thing that is driving me crazy right now is the Carpal Tunnel because I have to pretty much just sleep on my left side and I am one that likes to change positions often! I have had the 2nd trimester boost of energy but as that is coming to an end, so is my energy. I am noticing myself being more tired in the afternoons when I get home. I also just feel like I have a lot to do but I am a procrastinator! I said I would start early but with everything that has been going on since I have been pregnant, I really havent had a lot of free time to do it. It will get done soon though! The main thing we are working on in the next few weeks is opening up another closet in our master bedroom for my clothes. That is one thing I dislike about our house...not enough closets! But do you really ever have enough?? I plan to purchase the bedding and chair for the nursery after the appointment on the 19th. Hopefully we will get a for sure yes on it being a girl!

Its official

Its official...I will be a stay at home Mom! I told my principal Friday that I would not be coming back after the Christmas holidays. I will really miss the faculty and my sweet little class this year but I know when February gets here I will be happy to be at home with my baby! This was kind of a big decision (more for me than Riley) because I am not tenured in Tusc. Co. so therefore I am having to resign rather than take a leave. I know without a doubt that I want to be at home but it was the fact of letting go of something I was so close to and would have if I had not transferred systems (my tenure). If the pregnancy would have been planned (which really how many times are they perfectly planned, anyways?!) I would have loved to finish out the year and get my tenure. But, after talking with my principal, she made me feel much better about it and come to find out she did the exact same thing.
