Counting Down…

7 days of school left… 3 ½ weeks until Marlon… Woohoo & AhHHHHhh pretty much sums that up.

This school year started off to be my most challenging year as an educator. I didn’t realize how much work was going to go into opening a school, or at least the effect that it was going to have on me, the PE teacher, BUT it was definitely a year for learning & expanding upon my own capabilities. I’ve learned where I’m strong, as well as what areas need improvement. I was also blessed with some of the most wonderful, caring, & talented friends & coworkers. Everyone willingly extends their time & knowledge in various ways & it’s always done with a smile :)

Pregnancy-wise, I’m still good and for the 3rd post in a row, my feet are not. My Nike flip flops are pretty much the only shoes in my life that matter. Everyday I go to work with tennis shoes on my feet & they usually take a hike before I begin teaching my first class. My car has 5-7 pairs of tennis shoes in it at this very moment. I should probably do something about that.

I started feeling the Braxton-Hicks contractions this week. Thanks to good ol’ GOOGLE for educating me. My belly has been SO tight & my lower back is starting to hurt from time to time. Nap time is crucial & I can easily nap for 3-4 hours…crazy. There’s finally been some progress at the house too, so now we’re just waiting for Mr. Marlon to make his arrival. We finally got Shawnie into his own “big boy bed” & he was a SUPER TROOPER about it. He’ll be here for the summer, the week after Marlon’s born & we’re gonna tackle potty training once & for all… I hope.

Michael has been a busy bee at work, but his hard work is paying off. We’re still on opposite schedules, but I’ll (we’ll) get to spend more time with him this summer. He actually got this weekend off, so I’m excited about having two days off with him. We’re going to meet up with some friends on Sunday & go to the lake & we can’t wait!

XOXO,
Mel
