Well I can't believe we are this far along in this adventure but we have reached the third trimester. I went to the doctor and had the glucose test done, to check for gestational diabetes and hope all comes out well. We are at the point where I will start going to the doctor every two weeks just to keep an eye on Aaron and make sure things are progressing as they should. The doctor gave me all kinds of information about finding a pediatrician, registering with the hospital and much more to get ready for his arrival. It is all a little overwhelming and reminds me that so very soon we will have this sweet baby boy to hold and love on. I have been so fortunate and blessed with an amazingly easy pregnancy and I hope it continues that way all the way to the end.
We have been busy working back at the house on so many projects. I will share a few of them with you.
1. Jon is just weeks away from completing his MBA. Way to go, Aaron and I are so proud of you. He has been intensely working on wrapping up those classes so he can spend his time elsewhere.
2. My parents sold and closed on their house in Katy which means we have new roomies. ;) They are building a house in Cypress and will be staying with us until it is finished. We have begun to watch them progress, at this point they have a foundation and we look forward to watching the next steps. I feel like we are blessed to have some extra hands around as Jon and I are finding ourselves to be very preoccupied with work, school and baby.
3. My school will be moving from our current location to a new building for next year, just next door. So, all of the teachers have to have all of their belongings in boxes and ready to move by May 25th. If you know anything about school you may be saying to yourself, "But the kids will still be there". Yes they will but they need us to be ready and moving so they can get the show on the road as soon as the kids are gone. This has caused lots of extra work, stress and worries about getting everything done in time and still teaching our kids.
4. Getting the nursery ready. We started the process around the time we found out the gender, almost two months ago, but we have been in no rush. We are taking it one step at a time and making great progress. We have finished the painting and the furniture has arrived. All of the furniture has been moved and set up in the room. Now we need to work on some of the smaller things like stuff on the walls, bedding and a book shelf. I will post picture as soon as all that is together. I am thinking the last stretch of the nursery will come after grad school classes are finished.
5. I have been intently working of finalizing my grad school schedule for my last class. Finally, I have figured it out! I am very excited that things have worked out better than I originally thought they would. I thought I would take my last class in the month of June and then complete my masters exam early July to finish just before Aaron came. It turns out my final class will be a mini-mester in the month of May. Life will be absolutely crazy and hectic from May 14-29th but at the end of the two week chaos I will be done with my classes, this is a whole month earlier than I thought. I am hoping then that I will be able to get my masters exam in as soon as the school year ends and then I will be free in early June. My actual graduation date will not be until August, but that does not matter the work is done.
With all of that we have kept ourselves quite busy and still factoring in time for friends and family.
