15 Weeks

Ok, I don't want this blog to be completely consumed by the baby, I want it to be about our life, which also includes my husband, work, our 'kids' of the four legged kind and things we do together. However, my life has been so busy recently I haven't had time to update about anything.

School has been insane lately. Between our Race to the Top Grant we won, all of the extra BS, crazy kids and of course field hockey, I feel like I hardly have time to breath. Michael has had class on Monday nights, I have games Tuesday and Thursdays, he has games Wednesday and Friday, you figure out when we can see each other!

Luckily, things are starting to relax a bit. Hockey will be over on Tuesday (with the way the girls played there is no way we are making the tournament, I hate to say I am relieved, but also very disappointed). Football is also winding down for Michael.

I would say I might actually start to see him, but my classes for Block 2 start his week. If you didn't think I was crazy before, you will now. I have class Monday night, which meets every week, I teach a class Tuesday nights - which we only meet three times, and I take another class Wednesday night - which only meets three times. The rest of those classes is online. Not too bed, but I am sure the next 7 weeks will be very interesting!

Me being an overachiever again, but after this 7 weeks I will have my Master's +30. It will probably be the last classes I get in before the baby. Remember I wanted to do as much as possible before the little one came along? Well I will have 3 more classes and an internship (I think) until I have my FINAL degree. I may try to squeeze one more in during Block 1 in the Spring. I just know once our little pumpkin comes along I think it will be hard to leave him/her. Of course, I may need a night out too! Even if it is to class! Only time will tell.

Ok, I have rambled on long enough - back to the topic.

Today I am 15 weeks and 2 days. We had a Doctor's appointment on Friday and everything is still going well. My BP went down a bit, enough to impress me, but not the Doctor. Oh well. The Bambino is still doing well. His/Her heartrate was in the 160's again, adn the Doctor said I was 'definitely pregnant,' whatever that means! I have gained 1.5 lbs total - I'll take it!

According to babycenter.com, the baby is about 4 inches long, and weighs around 2.5 ounces. Her legs are finally catching up to the rest of her body, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Apparently if I shine a flashlight on my stomach, she will move away from the light. Interesting! We could also technically find out if it is a boy or girl this week, but we are waiting until December. I am not very patient!

It is very exciting! And if that wasn't exciting enough, we have off of school on Tuesday for Election Day, and a half day on Thursday! I sense it is going to be a great week!
