My 28 wk appt went pretty well.  Doctor was pleased to see I passed my glucose tolerance test, CBC, and urinalysis.  My proteins were higher, as was my blood pressure, so he's carefully monitoring both.  I have still not gained any weight, which he was displeased about.  All of baby's growth is on track, though.  I will now be seeing him every 3 weeks.

Hey Em! I am glad that little Amelia is developing well :) As a side note-I am so over Lebron and his lack of speaking skills. Also-heard UK has the number one recruiting class for next year?!

Thanks, Rach!

Lebron and John Wall needed to stay in school for public speaking classes! They slay me.

So glad to see some updates!

Hahaa I know! It was amusing hearing them speak. ;) Actually I think I turned the tv on mute as it was pretty painful to hear. Maybe they can have a personal life/PR coach on the side while they play ball.

Also, are you going to keep teaching? I am taking a 3.5 month leave from work and then finishing out the year. What are your plans? I am pretty nervous about working and be a mommy...lemme know your thoughts. Love to you and Amelia!

Well, actually, there is a hiring freeze in the state of CO (both last year and this year) so getting a job has been next to impossible. Not to mention that last summer, a bunch of soldiers (and their families) moved from Ft Hood and they took most of the teaching jobs.

So, I didn't teach last year, started/finished my Master's, and am just trusting my path. If I am meant to have a job this year, I will. If not, then I will get to go home T'giving-New Year.

I have thought about working part-time at a library or as a 1/2 day K teacher, but am really just trusting that what should happen, will.

So you are taking all of fall term or some fall and some winter?

PS-Rebecca, every time you update your blog, I think you will say you are pregnant.
