This Week

I turned 32 this week! After thirty, it doesn't seem that big of a deal, but you know you're getting older when the kids in your class tell you that their mom is the same age as you! When I started teaching, most parents were older then me, but more and more either I am the same age or older then them! I got to go out to eat with my best friends, Cyndi and Mary, after my shower at school! It was nice to just sit and relax and enjoy the fellowship!

We had our first shower at school on my birthday! It was great! We got a lot of nice stuff and our travel system! Robert and I were very pleased and we have another shower Sunday at church unless it gets postponed due to a death.

Garrett's room is pretty well set up with furniture and I washed the clothes I had last weekend, but we are waiting on a few remaining items and then I promise to post pictures of our nursery! It is very nice!

I went to the doctor on Thursday and they checked me and I had not started to dilate or thin, but my cervix was tilted forward which means it is ready to start! My mom and Aunt Tracie are flying in on my due date and my dad, stepmom, and brother are coming the weekend of my due date! I am excited that they will all be here and hope we get a baby in the early part of the week, so they all get to spend some time with him! I am starting to get uncomfortable and find it harder and harder to get a good night's sleep! The doctor asked me yesterday if I was having contractions and I said what do they feel like? She said if you don't know then you are not having them! Well, considering this is my first baby, a little hint of what to expect would have been nice. Plus, I am having pains, but have been told it is my round abdominal streching and today was having severe pain in the pelvic area and bottom of my stomach, but kind of wondered if it wasn't his head getting in position! Oh well, I guess we will see not this coming Monday, but next Monday what has happened!

My husband found out that he could take paternal leave with me, but he thought he'd just take a week! I tried to explain to him that my family would be here that week and then the next week his mom wants to come and he has the days so why doesn't he take until after Spring Break (3 weeks) and then we would have one week to ourselves with Garrett. Corbin would be there in the afternoon before he went back to his mom's, but the majority would just be the three of us. He hasn't made a decision yet! If I have a c-section, I'm not sure he'll have much choice because I think I will need him when everyone else is gone!

Corbin has had 2 really good weeks, so we are hopeful we are on an upward swing. His mother has started to try to discipline and reward as we do to some extent, so we are thankful for this! Baseball signups were the past two weekends and Robert thinks the coaches' meeting is Sunday afternoon, so here we go again! I enjoy baseball though and Robert is coaching so I won't have to listen to him grip about the coach...lol, but will have to listen to him dissect the game on the way home! Sometimes I wish I was riding home with someone else....lol! Corbin enjoys baseball, but I think he enjoys all sports when he is playing them. He wants to play football, but Robert told him until he toughened up and didn't cry every time he fell down, then he wasn't going to play because he wasn't going to watch him cry every time he got hit!

Well, I hope everyone else had a good week! Enjoy your weekend!
