I just looked at my blog and realized that it's been two weeks since I last posted. The weeks have been long and busy, but mostly busy. School is in full swing, this is our first full week. Next week we have four days of kids, then staff training on Friday. The week after that is full, then conferences in the afternoons Tuesday-Friday the first week of October. The second week of October has only three days in it for us with kids. The Thursday of that week is a staff training day, and then Friday of that week is a state inservice day. That's my last week of work before the baby comes (unless Bob or my doctor says otherwise.) Plans for my sub are coming along. I have classtime stuff done, I think. I just have to write down my procedures, plus what I want done for choir and how I do Recorders.
I am not sleeping as well as I used to. The first two nights of this week, I lost 6 hours of sleep. At least I slept well last night. I also have a cold, which isn't making things any easier. I know that when the baby comes, I won't be getting lots of sleep either, but at least I won't have to get up and go to work in the morning! That's what's killing me most right now. I go home and pretty much plant myself on the couch.
I have a consultation with a pediatrician this afternoon. I'm really excited. I've heard nothing but great stuff about this person and the practice she's in. I really hope I like her. I didn't like the last guy I talked with. He was bragging too much and I really didn't care for that.
Be looking for a new picture within the next few days, along (hopefully) with some pictures from my shower that is on Saturday. This is really getting real! The nursery is painted and we have all of the furniture in the house; the crib is assembled, the changing table is mostly assembled, shelves need to be filled, the dresser needs to be moved from our room to the nursery, boxes need to be taken out of the nursery, and sheets need to go on the crib (once we get them.
