We enjoyed a great weekend getaway this past weekend to Hot Springs, NC with my parents, brother and sister-in-law, some friends, and the pups. My brother Matt and sister-in-law Jes got to feel the baby move. Matt was blown away and Turtle was totally partying for Aunt Jessie. He already loves them! The weather was fantastic and the hiking was great. I must admit, I'm pretty proud of myself for hiking 7.5 miles on Saturday plus an short uphill on Sunday. It felt great getting outside and doing some hiking. I think Turtle enjoyed it as well.
The nursery is coming along. We got our mats for our pictures and I bought frames to match the furniture. We put them all together with our Classic Pooh pictures and they are so cute! I can't wait for Scott to hang them. My mom and Aunt Judy are hard at work on our curtains.
Things are going well at work. Getting up and down off of the floor is a bit harder, but I manage. The kids continue to ask about the baby and how he's doing. Some super cute kid stories:
~We are reading Charlotte's Web. We recently read the part of the story when she makes her egg sac and explains to Wilbur that it is her Magnum Opus, or greatest work, as she puts it. I told my students that I am always looking for their Magnum Opus. One of my 3rd levels, Nina, raised her hand and said, "Ms. Sarah, I think that Turtle is your Magnum Opus." It was the cutest, sweetest thing ever!
~ Today I was working with one of my 'special friends' on the stamp game doing her math. Without even thinking, when Turtle started moving, I touched my belly and said, 'oh!' She looked at me with big eyes and said, 'Is that baby moving?' When I told her he was and asked if she wanted to feel (I haven't let any of them feel the baby) she smiled and, super gently, placed her hand on the side of my belly. Just then he kicked or punched and she just lit up. She said, "Woah! I felt that." I told her that he moves every time she and I work together (which is true) and she was so excited. I think it made her day.
Here are some belly pics from this weekend's trip.
