35 weeks

I say it every week but this pregnancy has flown by! Only 4 short weeks and this kid will be making his appearance! I am SO READY! Tomorrow, my close friend Angie is hosting a baby sprinkle for us. I feel so blessed and not worthy enough of such great treatment. I am very excited to see everyone and celebrate Baby C!

This was a good week at school. Of course, the 7th graders were a serious pain in the rear end like always, but we had our contract meetings and I was offered a contract AND the option to move to another grade for next year. I will be a 5th grade teacher next year and I couldnt be more excited!!! It was a great end to the week and I am still pinching myself wondering if it is all a dream.

Today, we went to Deanna Rose Farmstead to show Karsen some of the farm animals and he was very timid at first. He didnt want to be down on their level. He only wanted to be held. After we were there a while, he really enjoyed himself and I know the more we go, the more he will enjoy himself. They also had a huge park so of course he was a fan of that! Here are some pics from the morning.


He was even timid of this wooden horse...


Feeding baby goats was not fun for him...


He was clinging on to dad for dear life.


Then we got to the ducks...he started to warm up a bit. 


Mom is feeding goats, so maybe I can just stand with her and watch.


But the park is always the best part!


He loved running across this bridge!

Here is a pic at 35 weeks. I am feeling good but can tell that space is becoming more limited for this kid. He still wants to move around, but I know he is struggling with the lack of space. 




How far along? 35 weeks. Size of a Honeydew melon.
Total weight gain: 25 pounds according to the scale at the doc office. YIKES!  
Maternity clothes: Anything loose around my midsection is ok by me. 
Sleep: Sleep has been ok still. Still getting up to go to the bathroom, and still some pain in my hips. Oh well. Nothing I cant handle. 
Best moment this week: Getting offered the 5th grade position and accepting it!!
Miss anything? Sleep.
Movement: This kid is moving ALL. THE. TIME. Best feeling ever.
Food cravings: Raspberry iced tea.
Symptoms: Tight belly...and tired early in the evening.
Belly button in or out? In. 
Wedding rings on or off? On and comfortable.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy since I got the 5th grade job. These last 17 days will be great because I just keep telling myself "I dont have to deal with these kids next year!" I hear the frustration from my fellow teachers when it comes to these kids...and I just feel for them. They deserve a serious raise if they can make it through next year!
Looking forward to: Getting the new stroller. I will order that on Monday. Also, looking forward to meeting this kid!!!
