Almost passed out at work today...

I was standing up teaching my 1st block class and almost passed out.

So I called the doctor and of course they're closed today because they're moving to a new fancy office. Finally got in touch with the on call nurse and she told me to take it easy and if I couldn't sit while teaching I had better go home.

Now I'm home, grading projects and watching Wife Swap on Lifetime. Not too shabby. Except that my students have a midterm on Wednesday.

Connor's First Shower!

Yesterday was our first shower for Baby Connor, thrown by my side of the family. Of course, as always, food was center court for a while.

When we got home from church this afternoon we set about getting all the presents organized and put away.

I'm very aware that I promised a belly picture in my new dress... however, we had a few waredrobe malfunctions yesterday that almost brought me to tears. Irrational, pregnancy hormone tears. I could have sobbed like a little baby. Let's just say that I ended up not wearing the dress I loved and had planned all week to wear. Therefore, you get no picture.

31 Weeks

No picture today. Our first shower is tomorrow and I can't wait to show off in my pretty new dress!!!

How far along? 31 weeks
Total weight gain: +13.5
Maternity clothes? Yep.
Sleep: Is it possible that Connor moving around at night is Mother Nature's way of getting me ready for late night feedings? I can say that my heartburn is getting better at night now that I've figured out a few tricks. (I take Zantac twice a day, eat before 7ish, and take a walk after dinner.)
Best moment this week: Yesterday was a half day with the kids at school and today is a teacher workday.. I'm taking the day off to organize Connor's room. It's great.
Movement: Wow.
Gender: Snips and snails.
Labor Signs: I think I had my first BH contrax the night before last.
Cravings: Water, really really cold water. Still.
Belly Button in or out? Still in... I don't think it'll be long though.
What I miss: Sleeping on my tummy, a glass of wine at the end of the day.
Weekly Wisdom: Nada
Milestones: We went to our first birth class this week. That was exciting.

30 Weeks! Eeeekkkk!

I've been slack the last few weeks... here's the pictures. Pardon the cat in the 28 week one, and definitely pardon the face I'm making in the 30 week one! I had no idea Jennings had my face in the shot!

Belly Button in or out? Still in... I don't think it'll be long though.

What I miss: Sleeping on my tummy, a glass of wine at the end of the day, laying down without feeling like I'm going to throw up everything I've eaten that day.

Weekly Wisdom: Nada

Milestones: My belly button has almost made it all the way out.

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.
