Weekly Update

I saw this on a sweet friends blog and thought it would be fun to (attempt) to do the same on my page...I know I am a wee bit behind BUT seeing as I got things rolling a little late I think it's acceptable! ;)

How far along? 21 Weeks

How big is baby? Between a banana and a spaghetti squash!

Total weight gain: about 9 lbs.

Maternity Clothes?  A few that I have gotten as gifts for my birthday or from a friend when I first discovered I was pregnant. Thankfully most of my school clothes (skirts and such) have elastic waists so I can continue to wear them throughout the pregnancy...at least for this year!

Stretch marks? None that I can see yet!

Sleep: It is ok. The biggest issue I am having right now is getting woken up in the middle of the night after catching a few hours. This makes it very difficult to fall back to sleep as I have gotten a few hours already.

Movement: She is moving in spurts. I notice it mostly when I am sitting down or laying down and relaxed although I have felt her a few times a school sitting at my desk. 

Food cravings: Almost ANY type of food. I LOVE banana peppers and I also can't get enough of the sweet, sugary things like cookies that I shouldn't have!

What I miss: Sleeping in till all hours of the morning (or afternoon) on weekends! I don't know if this is because my body is accustomed to getting up for school 5 days a week, because of the baby or both but by the end of a work day I am so exhausted I long for being able to sleep hours upon hours again1

What I am looking forward to: The end of school! It is so close! This summer is going to give me the opportunity to nest some (which I am starting to do in bits and pieces already!!) and plan for teaching second grade next year!!

Milestones: We are half way there! I am so blessed to be able to partner with God through this growth and development of little Zoey. It just amazes me that we are half way there already!!!

Oh, and THIS: Yes, I will be teaching second grade next year!!! I am SO SO SO grateful to have a grade that does not have to worry about FCAT and is also not so needy as to require me to tie their shoes either. I have SO many ideas for my classroom and am SO excited to scour the internet to see what other great ideas I can come up with.
