Baby update

Hello? Anyone out there? I'm sure I have lost the few followers I had during my month plus sabbatical from here. I'd like to think I was busy, I suppose I was but really I just didn't have much to share.

I'm so sick of this cold weather, but who isn't. Unlike most of you, I have a personal heater that runs 24/7 keeping me pretty roasty. The kids are finally starting to figure out that it will always be chilly in my classroom (I have easy access to turning it on/off). I refuse to sweat and work at the same time.

SPeaking of the little bun in the oven, here's an update. A friend who is also expecting started a blog to track her pregnancy for their baby and I think its a great idea so I'm borrowing her little questionaire she fills out.


33 weeks 4 days - although measuring 2 weeks ahead, corresponding with original due date, so I now just say I'm due in February
Total weight gain/loss: +3 (back off you haters)
Maternity Clothes: haha - love them!
Sleep: I have this awake period from about 3-4:30am every night (except for break...hmmm hint hint on possible sources of stress???) It's not fun. "real" sleep is mostly consumed with tossing and turning, but usually only 1 trip to the bathroom so not so bad.
Belly button in/out: In, but barely,
Movement: ALL THE TIME!! Obv at this point no movement would be bad. Baby is super active when i sit down for reading time at 2:15 and then when i get home and all night long.
Food cravings: Well, I was really into the chips and candies, however after a little GD diagnosis has put an end to that. If you refer to my previous post, you can imagine how that went over! Luckily I have been able to maintain my blood sugars with my diet so I am thankful to not have to do the insulin and hope it stays that way. I'm hard core.
Contractions: if I dont think so then that must be a no!
Best moment of the week: 1st baby shower thrown by my mother & a BFF - even if the cakes got mixed up - since i couldn't eat it anyway I wouldn't have cared if it said "Happy 50th Birthday Bruce!" It's so fun going through all the fun little gifts!
What I miss: uninterrupted sleep & Wednesday volleyball
What I am looking forward to: Well obviously seeing the baby, BUT not having to check my blood sugar and check it often (5x/day) ALSO eating a ginormous chocolate muffin with chocolate chips - Hello sugar coma :)
Milestones: I guess if the baby decided to be born now (please don't) I could deliver in Glencoe!

Well I must run to an FFA meeting. SInce I'm pretty much the meanest teacher ever and refused the idea of a lock-in this year, I convinced them to do pizza and bowling instead. I can't imagine my state of well being after attempting to stay up all night long...
