Time Flies!

Wow I have not been good about updating here lately! I recently started back to school (I am a first grade teacher for those of you who do not know). I have been having a hard time dealing with being pregnant and with teaching. I remember always being tired at the beginning of the year but I am just so tired now and it is not just at the end of the day it is throughout the day. I find myself having to take breaks and sit down rather being up getting things done like I really want to be doing. I am also not as independent as I am use to being which is a little hard for me to deal with cause I am stubborn and I want to do it myself. Things like not being able to bend over and pick things up or tie my kids students shoes which are things you don't really think about until you can't do them anymore.

Everett has been moving a lot more here lately. He was starting to worry me because he only seemed to move around nine or ten at night when I was laying down. But, now it seems like every time I sit down for a few minutes he starts moving. I am loving feeling and seeing him move in my belly and so is Andrew. The other day I read online that you should be able to hear his heartbeat around this time through my stomach so Andrew and I decided to try it out. We laid there for awhile so Andrew could listen (mainly because Everett kept kicking Andrew in the head!!) but after some time Andrew was able to hear it! He said it was faint and you had to listen for it but you could really hear it. I was so excited to know that Andrew had something that he could do with Everett that I can't (since I get to experience so much).

My belly just seems to be getting bigger and bigger which I am ok with because that means I am closer to meeting our little boy. Andrew pointed out to me that we have 3 months left or 15 weeks as some might say and I just could not believe it. It seems like yesterday we found out we were expecting our little bundle. I cannot wait to start getting all of the baby stuff we need and getting his nursery all finished. But, for right now I am just enjoying the time that I get to spend with him all to myself and the planning. Cause pretty soon he will not be all mine anymore!

Talk to you soon!

Painting the nursey

Andrew and I decided to paint the nursery this weekend! I was really excited to get started. Of course, Andrew had to research everything about painting before we even got started (for those of you who know my husband, you know this is something he does A LOT!). Once he decided that he knew everything there was to know about painting we went to Lowe's and picked up our painting supplies. An hour and a half later we finally got home and were able to get started!
Here is a picture of the room before we started
Andrew, having researched how to paint rooms decided we needed to clean the room before hand which meant wiping down all of the walls with soap and water. Which I normally wouldn't mind but it is a whole other story when you are pregnant! We finally got done cleaning and taped off the room with painters' tape then went straight to the primer (due to the walls being so dark). By the time we finished that I was pooped. Luckily Becca showed up and was able to take up the slack (thanks Becca!). After the primer dried we went on to paint the room. It turned out really well and we only had to go over the top of the room the next day and where we had peeled some of the painters' tape off. Today we went back with a razor blade and peeled off the tape at the very top. I think it looks really good if I do say so myself! But I could be a little partial. Here are some more pictures of us painting the room and the finished product.



Oh and here is a new belly picture of me from this week. I do have to say thought I am just getting bigger and bigger!
