Just Waiting

So work is officially behind me and now I want nothing more than for Baby Dane to make his appearance (though I'm still a bit scared about how all that's gonna go down!!!).

My last day at school was Friday; and while it was hectic with last minute stuff (esp parent emails and grades b/c they were due Friday also) the day was good and the kids were sweet.  My parapro had a surprise 'baby party' for me complete with a gift and pettifors for the kids.  They loved it.  They also asked a lot of questions- which I did my best to answer!  (you can imagine!)  It felt oddly refreshing to close my classroom door and leave school.  Such a mixture of emotions.  But overall glad that it worked out the way I had 'planned'.

Saturday we had a busy day.  We started with breakfast at one of our local haunts followed by a playdate for our Sadie pup and then I accompanied Z on a 2 year old baby photo shoot for some of our friends at Stone Mtn. Park. It was beautiful weather outside and we ended up making a whole afternoon of it!  Photos, playground, lunch, and a sweet treat from the yogurt shop before going home.

YUMMY!  Patrick ate his plus some of his mommy's!  :)

After saying bye to our friends, we headed home, freshened up, gathered up Sadie, and headed up to my sister and her husbands house for their 2nd Annual St. Patty's Beer Fest.  As usual, my awesome hostess of a sister had a yummy spread of food, fun games, and (for the drinkers) a great selection of beer.  It was fun to hang out with all the girls.  Dane was in major kicking form and my feet were mega swollen so I had to sit most of the time, but it was fun regardless.  2 other pregnant friends were there and we swapped stories and the latest dr appt news, too.

All boys!  Preston will be here late April/ Early May; Brady will be here in 2 weeks; and Dane (should!) be here any day now!  :)

Teresa, Mary, my sis Kelly with me & Dane.  Love these girls!!!

I had to have picture proof that I was at a party 39.5 weeks pregnant!  hahaha!  :)

Sunday we were mega lazy.  And it was pretty great!  haha!  We laid around and watched movies, hung out, did laundry, and enjoyed (and spicy!) thai dinner.  I heart low-key Sundays!  I'm going to spend some time with my mom today so I don't go crazy sitting here home alone wondering if my water is going to break!  My next dr appt is tomorrow morning.  I still can't believe how close we are to the due date!

Counting Down + Congratulations!

So I haven't POAS and I'm trying to forget that it is even an option! :) Thanks you guys for making me back off those things!!!!

I spent the afternoon today with my good friend Michelle and her little mini-me, Molly. They are so cute. I couldn't believe how big she has gotten (14 mo now) and how much she can do! Amazing! It is always special to see them together b/c Michelle is my friend that was the first I knew to have fertility trouble. After 5 years, they finally got pregnant thru IUI with the same dr Zach and I have been seeing. Today she shared news with me. She and her husband were going to go back to Dr. K to discuss trying for their 2nd. Instead, she discovered last Monday, that she is pregnant on her own this time! She is very cautiously expecting, but expecting none the less! I'm so excited for their family!

And, of course, I have another friend pregnant today! Congratulations to my bloggin' buddy A.E.! She and her husband have been totally dedicated to adding to their family and have stopped at nothing for their dream. I am SO HAPPY for them! Stop by her blog and congratulate her if you get some time! I can't wait to follow her pregnancy journey!

Well, I hear things happen in three's... I heard 2 pregnancy announcements in my world today... maybe I'll be the third on Thursday!?!?!? God Willing!
