Almost 27 weeks!

It has been almost 7 weeks since I last posted. I have had one busy summer and just haven't had time to sit down and type a blog...plus my internet went down for a few days...technical difficulties is a huge pet peeve of mine, especially when I am taking internet classes!

Since the last time I posted a lot has went on! I had another ultrasound to measure our little man's heart. Things looked well and as of July 9th he weighed two pounds and was 14 inches long...needless to say he is going to be a very BIG boy!!! I was able to see him yawn and stick his tongue out and I even watched him put his left foot in his mouth. He is a very active little one. He seemed very happy and healthy creating havoc in my belly.

I don't have another appointment until August 6th when I get to take my glucose test and get my last rhogam shot. After that I get to start seeing Dr. Turley every two weeks. I can't believe that I am getting ready to start my third trimester! It won't be long before he is here and I can not wait.

Also since my last post softball season got into full swing. Tournament will be here soon and then it will be time for fall ball ( just another sign that October is really on it's way!!!!) It has been good to go to the games and enjoy watching my husband's team lose, LOL! I guess next summer season I will have a son to take to the games! That seems so strange!

This summer I have been trying to finish up my Masters thesis frantically so I will not have to worry about it when I have a newborn to take care of...this is the biggest reason I have not posted. I have been doing a research paper on music therapy and it effects on communication skills in individuals with autism...and lets just say it's about to kill me. I have finished 48 pages and I still have a ton to do. If all goes well I will be able to get my masters by Christmas but i doubt it will seem as important once we have Jonathan Bennett here to spend our time with!

On top of all of that I have been trying to get ready for the new school year. I've had tons of trainings and other fun things to do. I amon site base this year so I went to my first site base meeting Tuesday. I really want to stay involved as much as possible but a part of me would like to take the rest of the year off once the baby gets here. I am really torn as to what I want to do. I have the money saved up that I could take off but then again I think a part of me would be missing without the kids at school. We had jumpstart today for the incoming kindergarteners and I was able to see a couple of my students. It made me realize how badly I have missed them this summer! I guess I have a lot of thinking to do before October!

Saturday I am having a small baby shower thrown by one of my bestest friends so I should have pictures to post after that! Plus, I want to post pictures of my cute little fuzzy bun cloth diapers that finally came in! (and if I hear one more person tell me I am crazy for using cloth diapers I may scream!!!)

I feel like I am rambling and should probably be doing something more constructuve with my time so I guess I will end this for now. Now that school is starting perhaps I will get back into a routine and it won't be another 7 weeks before I post again!
