oops! skipped a day!

I was so tired last night that I did not post. Shame on me! My appointment with the perinatologist was great! The baby's heart looks perfect and there are no other problems! We are definitely having a little boy! He was showing off to everybody! I guess he just wanted to keep us wondering for a day! Little stinker!

boy or girl?

I guess you really never know for sure until they get here, right? Today on the ultrasound my doctor said, "it's a girl isn't it?" Um, NO! It better not be! He just got a really quick glance so he wasn't sure if that's what he saw and the baby WOULD NOT cooperate to let us see again. I have an ultrasound with the specialist tomorrow so we will see what he thinks. I am really hoping he (or she) will open wide and let us see BOY PARTS! Not that two girls would be terrible but I was already so ready for a boy. *sigh* We will see tomorrow :)

Pumpkin Patch

Raeleigh had her first field trip today! She rode the bus and loved it! They went to the pumpkin patch and got to pick and paint their own pumpkins. Then they had a snack and played on the playground before lunch. Raeleigh had a blast and I was surprised how well she keeps up with her peers! She is becoming so independent and she learns so much from the other kids! I am exhausted but I can't wait for her next field trip!

drinking from a straw!

Raeleigh has finally started drinking from a straw! Her teacher sent her sippy cup home on Monday and said she didn't need it anymore! Here is a picture of my big girl and her new cup!

the virus...

Well, I think it has hit us! I was sick on Sunday but I was sure I didn't have the stomach virus because it wasn't "that" bad. Brandon came in from work today and said he didn't feel good and was going to lay down. He has been in bed since then! Ugh! I have given him meds to knock him out so maybe he will wake up tomorrow feeling better! Hopefully Raeleigh won't get it but I'm not counting on it. She has her first field trip tomorrow and I am praying hard she doesn't wake up with it tonight!

54 days....

until GRADUATION!!! I have started my second student teaching placement today in 5th grade and so far it is wonderful! After having a wonderful experience in a Kindergarten classroom last semester I was so sure that I wanted younger children. The 1st graders that I just left almost killed me! I am so glad to have the opportunity to work with some older children to see where I would like to obtain a position next fall. So far these kids are great! They are excited because I'm here and best of all they understand why I am here and they respect me. I am looking forward to a great 8 weeks here and cannot wait to walk the line on December 13th! Woo Hoo!!

Precious Moments

I had this picture in my Buddy Walk montage but I really wanted to post it by itself. I LOVE this picture! They are so much alike it is scary! Maybe, just maybe, Rudy will be a little like me :)
