My BIG Little Life

Some may find my blog boring and somewhat mundane because it is simply a documentation of the 'happenings' in my life, which is why I call it "My Big Little Life." It's a huge and happy life to me, but my family is what makes it huge and happy. I love that friends and family read my blog, but it's certainly not an expectation. If you do read it I hope you can get a sense of how I live and what makes me happy.

8 Months: 7 Weeks (give or take) to go!

I am glad I got plenty of rest this weekend. It's been rainy so it's been easy to rest, but my 'to do' list is long. (Kyle's is longer though.) My feet need a major massage.
My shower is coming up! It will be here on Saturday and being as though the shower is here and our house is making its debut (with my family and a lot of friends) there are things that need to get done... ok, well, they don't need to get done, but I want them to get done. :) It will though-- it always does!
I've been feeling well. Starting to slow down a bit. I've been getting Braxton Hicks every so often. I read that they are just preparing my uterus for delivery. It's nothing that is rhythmic or anything to be concerned about. It's typical to start getting them now. After 37 weeks, it could be a sign of labor.
Colston's room is coming together. His curtains/roman shade is up, changing table and crib are in position and ready for him. We're still waiting for the chair and ottoman and they should arrive in the next couple of weeks. I really wanted it to come before the shower, but oh well. He has some clothes hanging up in his closet. So cute because many of the precious outfits are his daddy's from when he was just an itty bitty.
I have a little over 4 more weeks of work. I talked to my principal about my leave the other day and she was supportive. I found a replacement too and I couldn't be happier with who it is. I think my student's parents will be pleased with her as well.

7 1/2 Months and Ready for my Baby!

I am back at school and enjoying being busy. I have a constant reminder that my life will be changing very soon-- every time my sweet baby kicks is a wonderful feeling and one that I hope never to forget. His kicks are getting stronger now as if to say, "Here I come!" I still feel really good and have energy to work with my 15 kindergarten students. They keep me on my toes, that's for sure!
My blood work came back and I developed anemia which I hear is nothing to be alarmed about. I just need to start taking an iron supplement. I am picking up my prescription tomorrow.
My baby shower is October 3rd and my mom and dad are coming down for it. I'm really excited to have lots of friends and family around that weekend! Ashley sent out the cutest baby boy invitations. I can't wait to create a page in Colston's baby book displaying it.
Life is good. Actually, life is great!
