13 Weeks

What a good surprise! I get home today and Jeff has already unloaded/loaded the dishwasher and washed/dried/folded two loads of laundry. It was wonderful coming home to that after a long day of rearranging my room, cleaning and running around all day. I think since I am beginning to get a little pooch (I am in the stage where I just look out of shape) it is becoming a little more real to us both. Let's hope he keeps up the good work :)

I started back to school this week and have felt great still. Two of the days I had horrible headaches, which I bet I better get used to. But if that is all I have to complain about then I think I am doing alright :) I have been busy trying to get my room ready and plan for the beginning of school. The kids start next week and I am already in high gear trying to find a sub to take my maternity leave in Feb./Mar. This is when the craziness begins: back to school and preparing for a baby. But both are exciting!

We go back to the doctor on September 3rd for me to do some more blood work (yipee!).
