Sleepy head
What a long night! Little girl slept almost all night but she won't wake up to eat! How frustrating! I NEVER had that problem with J! He ate like clockwork! I am hoping I can get her to eat soon, but she is such a peaceful little girl! She is a beautiful sleeper!

December 9
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!! Today, my dad turns 67. He was born 2 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Must have put my poor g-mother into labor! This year, I am even more grateful for his birthday, since he had his bypass surgery 3 months ago. He is doing so well, walking 3 miles a day, eating better and JUST BOUGHT A HOUSE WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND! Yes, you heard it right. You know, more power to him. She takes great care of him and if he is happy, (which he is)then I am happy!
I went for my OB appointment today and everything went great. My blood pressure is great, and the tests I took last week all came back fine. Thanks for all of your prayers. The doctor said that being off work must be doing me well! :) She really encouraged me to chill at home as much as possible, which I am doing but do you know how hard it is not to do anything? I bought two books today in hopes to read and chill out.
Let me get your opinions....Today, I went to my school to pick up J. I went in to say Hi to my class. (A few girls saw me and wanted me to come up) I have avoided visiting as I am letting my sub establish herself with the class. So anyway, since I never officially said "bye" to my class, I went up to say hi. They were so happy to see me, and I was happy too. They are sweet kids. SO ANYWAY, I left the room and grabbed J and was walking to the car, when I ran into one of the mom's from my class. I thanked her for a gift she'd given me for the baby and this was what she said......and I quote...... "I don't want to upset you, but my daughter "Jane" was really upset that you never said Goodbye to the class. She has been having stomach aches and doesn't want to come to school. She said you were supposed to come up last week but never did." FIRST OF ALL- ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????? I was a BIT defensive in my response, RETELLING HER that I was suddenly taken out of work due to high blood pressure and the safety of ME AND MY BABY! and she is worried about her daughter's fake stomach aches? I then told her that I did indeed write the kids a Good bye note and that I saw "Jane" today and she was FINE! Seriously, was her comment to me necessary? This is the same mother who told her child that she will never be as smart as her brother. (She told me this herself......)
Anyhow, do I have a reason to be upset? I was contemplating talking to my Principal about it but decided to drop it. Obviously, this woman has bigger issues. Anyhow, I have some of the most supportive coworkers and parents in my room. I guess I shouldn't let this one get to me. Some people don't know when to keep their lips closed.

Week in review
Just thought I'd update. I am still hanging in, enjoying not being at work, ;) and trying to relax. I went back to the doc on Thursday and my BP was lower than Tuesday so they sent me home, to come back Tuesday for a regular appointment.
Paul's mom and Aunt Karen put up the border in the baby's room this week. It looks SO nice. This room is so different from J's room. His was very baby- hers is certainly girly! I figure, she can keep it this way for a long time. For J, we changed it when he outgrew the toddler bed. Little girl will have this room for a while! It will grow with her! I will post pictures of the finished product.
Paul's nephew and his wife are having an Open House tonight so we will be going there. It will most likely be my only Christmas party. Hopefully, my energy level will survive the night. I tend to tire out pretty early these days!
I am certainly uncomfortable right now. The baby is sitting really low. All of my maternity pants seem to cut across my belly in an uncomfortable spot so I have resorted to wearing Paul's sweatpants when I am home or just running errands. I look ridiculous, but I am comfy! :)
We haven't put up the tree yet as we are busy putting away old baby stuff, and things that need to go in the attic. I suppose this week, we will put it up. That is all I am doing, decoration wise. I wish we could do more but of course, it will be easier to clean up only the tree. If we decorate too much, we will have to clean it up AND tend to an infant. So for this year, I will just have a tree. I also need to buy a Nativity set. I looked for one last year, but didn't see one I liked, so I hope to find one this year. J has a Veggie Tales one that is so cute but I want a grown up one.
Several years ago, J and I had set up his nativity in his room and I went in one day and he had his T-Rex standing next to the nativity and all of the "characters" were down and the ground, except for Jesus. I guess the T-Rex knew NOT to mess with Jesus! I think a few of you (Kristin) may remember the picture and if I can find my electronic copy, I will post it. It is pretty funny!
Have a good weekend everyone!

Earlier than normal...
The doctor put me out of work as of today. I went for my appointment today and my blood pressure was a tinge high. I had an ultrasound already scheduled so I traveled to a different hospital and the results of that one came back fine. BUT the doc wanted to monitor my BP so he sent me to the Family Birth center in the hospital. There, they hooked me up to the monitor and I laid there for 2 1/2 hours. Everything turned out to be fine, but the doc wants me to chill out and monitor my BP so I am done working. I have a wonderful substitute who has made it really easy to just leave my job which is a not an easy job to just drop. I met with her tonight and she is set to teach for me until after the little one is born.
I was a nervous wreck today. I know the doctor was being precautionary but still, I was nervous. Please pray for me and my boys (and little girl too) that all will be OK. I am feeling nervous about J and the changes he will go through. I hope he adjusts well.
Anyhow, that is my latest news.

Wonderful Coworkers
Today my coworkers surprised me with a mini baby shower. We usually don't do showers for second babies/weddings, etc. My team mate made cake and my friends collected money and got me a gift card to Target to supply us with whatever "baby" we will need. Another CW knitted me a blanket for the baby and I just love it! I got several outfits and other baby items. They also got the lined basket that matches the baby bedding and filled it with diapers! How useful! My principal and AP gave me a gift card to my favorite spa for a 30 minute massage. How wonderful is that? Something that I will surely want to use after the baby is born. I was just shocked at everyone generosity and kindness. I am truly grateful for all they did. They have always been so kind to me and this is just above and beyond! I am truly blessed to work with these wonderful people!
