Baby is almost here!!

I have had a pretty busy past couple of weeks. I offically have 18 more school days until I go out on maternity leave. That has me working exactly 2 days after my due date but my doctor says as long as I am feeling good to keep on working. If I have the baby early I am set but I hate sitting around so I figure might as well work. This past week I had my last two showers. My co-workers spoiled me. I was amazed at how generous and nice everyone was. I was definitely very honored to work with such amazing people. I also had my friend/family shower this past Sat. It was wonderful, thanks to my friends who know how to throw an awesome shower. We have basically everything we need, we are just waiting for the baby.

I went to the doctor today for my 36 week checkup. The baby is still measuring bigger, it has slowed down some but aproximate weight is 7 pounds 3 ounces. The average baby at 36 weeks is about 6 pounds so still a little heavy but right on tract for a 9 pound baby. Everything else looked great. We have gone on our hospital tour and know where to check in. We also went to our birthing class. That was very interesting. I hope it will help Jaime when I am irrational and dragon lady comes out. The woman leading the class did say that women in labor tend to not always make the most sense. Well that is all for now, I do not have any new pictures to share. We are going to get some maternity pictures taken in a week so then I will look really pretty and show off my big belly.

Why a blog???

This blog is dedicated to my friend Stacy who has been asking me to start a facebook page. I figured that this would work just as well and since in a few weeks I will have some time on my hands I can keep all of my friends and family up to date with our family and it's happenings.

I am sitting on my couch enjoying the last part of my Christmas vacation (definitely a perk of being a school teacher). Milo, our adorable little dog will not leave my side, I think he is catching on that his place in our family might move down a notch once the baby comes. Jaime and I have still not decided on any names in particular, we are tossing around a few but nothing definite yet. We have about 7 weeks to wait until our lives change forever. We are both very excited.

A lot has happened since we were married two summers ago. We have taken some trips, Hawaii, Grand Canyon, and Norway. I will try to upload some images from those trips. We also have bought a home in San Clemente and have been very busy fixing it up. It needed some paint and new flooring but it is a wonderful home with a nice big back yard for the dog and the new baby.
