Septemeber means....baby time!

Well we have hunkered down now for the fall and are patiently waiting for baby girl to arrive! It's crazy that I go to bed every night and think "this could be it"! Planning anything for days ahead is even difficult since we have no idea if we will still be a table of 3 or 4! I am actually feeling quite patient about it all knowing she will come when she is ready and my OB is very carefully monitoring me hoping to avoid another 10 pound baby. I was back at school last Monday and all went fine. It's the first day back for students on Tuesday and I am ready. My next goal is to make it past next Saturday as I am supposed to give the ACT test at school and the preparation work is more work than the actual test day, so I would really like to be able to be there and get paid for it! Silly I know, but it all makes sense to me. I feel fantastic and thus far I have had NO swelling like I did with Teague, so it doesn't even feel like I am full term. I am showing signs of labor, but nothing major.

Teague has adjusted very well to being back at daycare full time, but even that is temporary since I will be home 1 year from the date of delivery. He will still go to Tina's some days, but he seems to really enjoy being home too - which will probably change somewhat after his sister arrives and he realizes that we can't do whatever he wants when he wants. My good friend Amy stays home with her kids and so we are planning a playdate every week to keep the kids entertained, so I am sure we will stay busy. My friend Michele also has a little guy Teague's age and is expecting the same day as I am, so another friend to visit.

Hopefully you have gotten to see some of the pictures of Teague's 2 year pictures and my belly pictures off to the right. It is so fun to have pictures taken by our favorite photographer and I am looking forward to the newborn/family pictures we will take during little girl's 1st week in this world..... stay tuned!

We don't have a ton planned for the weekend, I am on call part of this weekend and having a BBQ with family on Monday. Hope you are having a great Labor Day weekend.
