>"You don't even look pregnant today!!"

>That's right, someone told me that I don't even look pregnant today. Clearly, she is mistaken. If anyone looks pregnant, it's me. I took the cardigan off b/c I was hot, but here's what I had on. I look friggin huge! I can't imagine how big I will look in 10 more weeks.

Last night, Josh put the hutch together for the baby's room. This afternoon, he and my brother put the hutch on the dresser. It's so pretty. I love it!!



The piggy bank Josh and I made.


Tomorrow we start our childbirth classes. I have this crazy idea that I will do this labor thing all natural. I know that I will give it my best shot. We'll see how things turn out.

I took some pics of my classroom. No children, though. I don't really want a law suit. Maryanne, thanks for your patience. I hope it was worth the wait!

>What a day!

>Let me start with the good news. I passed my glucose test! YAY!! No gestitational diabetes for me. I was very happy to hear this news. My white blood count was high but they are just going to take some more blood next appt.

Today was the worst day I've ever had teaching. Having an all girls class is very, very difficult. The girls are not nice to anyone. I have 3 that love to start drama and get in the middle of everything. Anyone that knows me knows that I hate drama. Well, by 10 am I was putting out fires. I had one student bully another in PE. Then at lunch, the same girls started something with someone else. I had a tears after lunch and I almost lost it. I hate the drama. I really, really hate it. Then one students (yes one of the 3 musketeers) threw something at another of the musketeers. That musketeer blew up and started screaming. I tried to calm her down, she decided that she'd just scream at me. I hate disprespect almost as much as I hate drama. By 2pm another child had thrown her chair and kicked her bookbag across the room. I was mortified. I had NO clue that 9 year old girls were so angry and malicious. Honestly, if I never had to go back there, I'd probably be OK. I really hope tomorrow is a better day. Either way, it's one day and then I get a 3 day weekend.

>Appt update

>I had my 28w appt today. I don't know why I have those right before week 29, but whatever. It's just how it seems to work out. I got to drink this gross fruit punch sugar stuff. I absoutely despise fruit punch anything. I had 5 minutes to drink it down and then the countdown started. An hour later, I got my blood drawn. I really, really hope I passed it b/c I don't want to do the 3 hour test. Just becuase I was curious, I asked the doc what the 3 hour entailed. His response..."you come in fasting, drink the drink and then get blood drawn once an hour for three hours". UM, no thanks.

In baby/pregnancy news, not glucose news. I have gained 15 pounds thus far. Dr. Dawson is not concerned at all. My blood pressure was a bit elevated and we are going to watch it. He told me that if I get any headaches and I'm at school to go to the nurse and have her check my blood pressure. If it gets to 140/90, I have to let them know. The baby's heartbeat was great. He felt around and showed me what parts of the baby were where. His head is down and he pokes his little butt out. So that's what I've been feeling. I enjoyed finding that out; not that I would have ever known. I know that he can turn 100 times between now and delivery, but I still liked knowing that his head is down. Hopefully it will stay that way.

>I ordered way too many dresses last week and they all came in. It was like Christmas!
Here are 2 of them. I wore the one with the denim jacket to work today. Look at that 28w belly :)

















Here are some pics of the nursery. I really love how it looks, although it's definitely not finished.
