ALMOST 39 Weeks!

I have to say- the baby seems as though she will never come! She's moving around more subtly and her movements are beginning to hurt as she just shoves a knee or a foot out for a few minutes. You can definitely tell she is getting bigger.

My students for Mother's Day make a flower picture that has their feet as the leaves, the side of their hand as the stem, their hands as the flower part and their fist and fingertips as the middle of the flower- they are really cute. We have spent the past few weeks working on those. I have to say my cooperating teachers are so amazing! They took my class and did their feet so I didn't have to sit on the ground and try to maneuver feet around. I dread doing my own class every year and the volunteered to do an EXTRA class! THEN another teacher came in and helped me do the rest of the flower- which makes it go by much faster and makes it much more fun- I really appreciated the help. I have to say we work in an outstanding school.

The girl who is doing my maternity leave came in yesterday to get acquainted with the classroom and figure things out. She is a really good teacher and i am so excited she agreed to come in. She also agreed to do her own lesson plans as long as I tell her what needs to be done- That takes a lot of stress of off me! And its even better because I trust her and don't have to worry about what is happening at school. She isn't available until April 29th so the student teacher from kindergarten will come in if we need someone before then. She also is a really good teacher-- and I think if you can handle the kindergarten class we have this year- you deserve some sort of trophy! They really are good kids just high maintenance! Yay for next year! :)

I am told by Jeffrey that I messed up his prediction. He says she will be born on the 25th but that it will be at 3:13- not 3:18 or whatever I ended up putting. So I apologize to him and told him I would correct his guess.

I know I have more, but I will get back to this later- we have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, I will update after we get back from that.
