Week 23

Well, I'm just finishing being 23 weeks pregnant. I'm shocked at how easy this pregnancy has been for me so far. Hopefully, a sign of how it will continue! The worst so far has been backaches which hurt so bad sometimes I have a terrible waddle. LoL. I'm still wearing my normal clothes although I've gained about 17 pounds. ICK! I have felt the baby move and kick only a tiny bit, nothing regular yet. The strongest kick was during a crash scene in the move Live Free or Die Hard. I'm looking forward to feeling even more. I have the glucose test on Aug 9th. And, the visit after that one we will have another ultrasound. Hopefully, this time we learn if it is a boy or a girl!
Here is a picture of me and Mike from July 2nd returning from our Laughlin trip. I was just 21 weeks along. I think I just look more plump, not really more pregnant. I will post a new belly picture soon.


I have less than 18 days until I have to go back to school. I'm trying to be excited about my new class, but I have so much more on my mind, it is a bit difficult to be super excited. I'm also going to be teaching social studies 4 times a day this year, which is a nice change. The past few years I've taught science all day. So, I have a lot of work in front of me. I don't get to use last year's lesson plans, but get to start all over. I was getting bored with science, so overall this is a good change.

Making Cookies with DeeDee

On Friday, Grandma DeeDee and Abby make cookies. Abby loved trying to scoop out the dough. Of course, her Mama showed her how much fun it is to eat the dough. As you can see, she thoroughly enjoyed licking the spoon on the way to the cookie sheet. You can hear her actually mmmmmming as she eats the chocolate chip cookie dough. You'll never guess what Abby wanted to use to help make cookies. We made sure that she was the one that got that cookie! After eating the dough, she wasn't too interesting in eating the finished cookie. We gave her one, but when I turned around it was no longer in her hand. Gus or Shaylie gobbled it up quickly. There was no evidence, but both dogs looked guilty.

Look what Mommy found!

I was browsing my photo library and came across Abby baptism photos. Look how small she was. This was Dec 21st, 2008! She was just over one year old. That cute little dress she has one is a size 24 months from Carters. She has always been tall for her age. That she gets from her daddy. What I remember the most is that while she was sitting on my lap like above, she hit her lip on the pew in front of her and her lip started bleeding and she of course started screaming in the middle of the ceremony. That's my Abby. Has to make sure every one knows she is here! Her godparents are my cousin Kimberly and Mike's sister Sarah. We ran into a paper filing issue because at least one of the god parents also had to be confirmed. Only one of our choices met that criteria. ThankS Kimmie!
