6 weeks to go...

I can't believe that little Zoey Grey will be here in about a month. I'm really betting on the fact that she will come early. I plan on doing everything I can to get her to want to come out at the end of June. There are lots of reasons behind this...

1. I'm tired of being pregnant.
2. We already have 4 birthdays in July, 1 anniversary, the 4th of July and I don't feel like going broke in one month.
3. June seems like a really good month to be born, I mean why not?!?!
4. I'll get more time with Zoey before I have to go back to work

I've officially hit nesting mode which directly disobeys my doctor's orders of REST when you are at home. It is impossible. I do have to stop often and sit down, but it really is impossible to sit there and do nothing ALL DAY LONG. I feel terrible for people who are on strict bed rest. God bless you people.


Eleanore is growing like a weed. She has tried a lot of new food lately-liked most fruit and veggies, but still not a big fan of meat. She drinks milk by the gallon. Hates juice. She is starting to talk a lot more as well. She has mama, dadda, puppy, 'pease', shhh, and 'cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese' down and she knows a lot more than that, but the words aren't coming out too well.  She is a great helper around the house too-knows where to put her toys, picks things up for me, puts her diapers in the trash, and is willing to put things away in the fridge. I really think we got lucky with this kiddo...Plus she is as cute as a button. Love that girl.


I'm making homemade fruit leather right now-it takes 6-8 hours, but I'll let you know how that turns out!

Pre-term labor

I HATE IT!!!




That is all.

Tired

Zoey Grey is the most uncooperative unborn baby ever. She has punched, kicked, and rolled all over the place today in the most uncomfortable of ways. I wouldn't be surprised if I was all bruised up on the inside.


It also makes it impossible to sleep.

I'm tired.

14 more schools days: 5 days of actual teaching....3 days of review...4 days of finals...1 day of community service...1 day of freedom/work day (since students will be at Hawaiian Falls) and then I'm done. I hope Zoey can just chill for these days at work; she is always chill on the weekends.

9 weeks left...

31 week appointment went well I suppose so here is the short of it:

-I've only gained 22 pounds, which means I'm on target to only gain about 30 this time around which is so much better than the 42 pounds I gained with Ellie!
-I am already experiencing contractions. The doctor said I need to slow down when I have them otherwise I'll put myself in to labor.
-Zoey Grey is laying sideways and it is REALLY annoying and uncomfortable


Eleanore has her 15 month check up tomorrow so I'll update you on all of her stats to then.

In other news:

-School is dragging and I find myself getting irritated with my students
-I'm SEVERELY anemic
-I'm tired, oh so tired
-I witnessed first hand yesterday what I DON'T want my daughter to act like

So that's about it. Hopefully the last 4 weeks of school will go by quickly and the last 9 weeks of pregnancy will go smoothly. Praying that Zoey doesn't want to make an appearance too early!
