Well, we are officially in the third trimester...just three short months until we get to see our daughter. We can't wait! Now that we have her room almost complete, we are starting to feel impatient about waiting these next three months. Of course we want her to stay in there as long as possible, but we're so excited!
This week we went to the doctor for the sugar test. They couldn't find blood from my arm so they had to get it from my finger. That hurts! I am so sorry for all the diabetics that have to do that several times a day! I asked when we'd know the results and the nurse said that no news is good news, so I'm guessing I don't have gestational diabetes. That's good because I don't know how I'd live without bread for three months!
Kyle and I are keeping busy in our classrooms. He had to move his room to a new one down the hall, so that took a while at the beginning of the summer. I have been working on getting my lesson plans done for August-December because I know I am not going to want to spend lots of time planning in these next few months and I want to be really prepared for my maternity leave. Ohh, about maternity leave...we've decided I would take off until the week before Christmas break. That means maybe 2 weeks of extra time to spend with our baby girl. I originally wanted to take off until January, but we realized I wouldn't get a paycheck for Christmas break, and there was a chance of losing some benefits there as well. So, I think it will work out with me going back the last week of school. That way I can plan with my team mates for after the break and I get to be part of my class Christmas party. Those are always fun.
All this means we are on the hunt for a baby sitter for some weeks during the winter. Ava can't start day care until February as of right now, there just aren't any openings. It could change however, but we want to be prepared. We are looking for someone for one week in December and 4 weeks in January. I know there has to be a sweet lady out there some where, we just have to find her!
Well, that is about it for updates. Pictures of Ava's room will be coming soon. All the painting is done, now we are just waiting to get the fan put up, the curtains put up, and the dresser, which should be coming in next week! Can't wait to get it finished!
