Hospital Tour

Jared and I had our tour at the hospital this evening! I am delivering at St Lukes in the medical center. (40 minutes away from my house) The hospital is awesome! I have heard great things but I loved what I saw. The delivery rooms are spacious but the recovery couplet room is kinda tiny! So visitors beware! We will be squished! They have super security when it comes to the babies... not sure if this is normal everywhere. They have tracking systems on there legs, if a baby is taken near a staircase door or elevator then it will lock down all the elevators and stairs in the maternity ward. Plus cameras everywhere.... Also if the mom chooses she can have the baby with her always! Except the first bath! I was shocked at how super serious security is. I mean are a lot of babies stolen? When they took us in the delivery room I actually started to feel panic! There is a ginormous spotlight they shine right down on the mother. It will be my first time in a spotlight! There is nothing the Dr's and nurses wont see! It all just seems so close now and Im getting excited and nervous! Cant wait to see this little girl! My tummy is starting to do all those cool alien moves. It is a lot of fun to watch but feels so weird. Jared always seems to miss all the cool belly movements.

On another note...the first day of school was great! I only have 15 kids right now! I am sure the number will grow but let me tell you it is so much easier dealing with 15 than 22 or 25 on the first day of school! I have 3 of my Pre-K kids. One I got today and I hadnt seen him in 3 yrs (he went to another school) he was so excited to see me! It was really cool- at the end of the day he said "You know I've really been missing you." haha as if he was really sitting around missing me for the past 3 years. Im excited for all the new little minds! Plus being at work will make the rest of this pregnancy fly by! Off to bed gotta rest up for day 2!

32 weeks

So I had my 32 weeks appointment today and it was depressing.... I gained 5 whole lbs in 2 weeks! The doctor actually admonished me! He told me to slow down on the weight gain! I have only gained 19 lbs total! I know i gained 4 1/2 of those lbs this week alone. You see when it's back to school week for the teachers we are showered in candy and soda! We have to sit in hours upon hours of meetings and there is candy everywhere. Oh and cheesy popcorn too! Also someone wants to go out to eat every day! We dont get to when the kids are there so it is nice to take advantage of the grown up lunch hour! So tomorrow Im packing a lunch and I will put my tennies on and go walk to night as well!
Also Bailey turned back around. She was already head down and has now turned breech! Hopefully she will turn around again in the next few weeks!
Had the Meet the Teacher night and got to meet some of my kids. I think it's gonna be a great year! (especially since I will be out for 12 weeks!) :)

Introducing Bailey!

Sonogram at 19 weeks 7 1/2 months

Hmm....

So I have decided to create a family blog because well that seems like the new cool thing to do. I dont really have much to say yet. I am expecting my first baby on October 13th and her name is Bailey Grace. I am guessing that will be what the majority of these blogs are about! So far the pregnancy has been super easy and I have not had any complications. Well I have had dental problems! Found out today I am going to need a root canal. The dentist agreed to let me wait until after the baby comes. I had a crown put on this past May and that was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life! Apparently you can't have the good pain killers when you are pregnant!
