Blake's School Update

So, not much has improved over the past couple weeks since my last venting on Blake's teacher. I've spoken to another parent who has had her as a teacher for two out of three of her children; her third child is actually in Blake's class currently. I've asked her if the teacher is naturally scatter-brained or if it is just because it is the beginning of the year...apparently. She is naturally scatterbrained. AHHHHH!!!
So next week we have parent teacher conferences and I'm going to make a point to ask/have the teacher let me sit in the class and observe for a day. If I do not like what I see; then I am taking the next step and talking to the principal and having Blake switch classes. I've already spoken to another 3rd grade teacher-just after having ONE conversation with her I already like her SO MUCH BETTER! She has that strict-ness to her which we (Randy and I) feel Blake needs to keep him in line.
Don't get me wrong...Blake is a reasonably decent student and child. We feel he needs the strictness to help him STAY on track. So-we shall see how his parent teacher conference goes next week.

Baby Shower Fun



Just last weekend I had a couple of awesome ladies throw me an awesome shower. There was a good group of us there to celebrate the soon to arrive baby girl Andrus. We played some fun games and I got quite a bit of wonderful items.
It is basically like we are starting all over due to the major gap of age between Blake and this new little one. We really thought Blake was going to be "it"-so bye bye baby stuff. With the surpising news of finding out Blake is no longer going to be an only child-it was time to get baby stuff all over again. Being surrounded by an excellent group of friends near and far, has helped in getting us started with a great bundle of baby items.

We recieveved many things, from diaper bags ...






to onsies ...to bottles ...and room decorations... (yes we went with winnie the pooh for the theme.)
and much more!!!!
Everything was so cute and addorable. In a way makes me eadger to have her just to use all the items. Yet-makes me nervous cause I know her arrival will be right around the corner or sooner than we may expect and there are still odds and ends we don't have yet.

I do have a great deal of support here from many people and I am eternally greatful for everything that everyone has offered to do so much for us. It is making this time in our lives that much more easily transitional-able...(?) That can be a word...right?

(32 weeks 5 days pregnant)

I had another doctors apt on the 9th. So far everything is going the way it should. I have one more two week apt and then I go every week. Anytime after the 23rd-if i go into labor my doctor will not stop the labor process. ((yikes)). News like this makes me even more nervous. Needless to say, I have the baby's bag ready for the hospital and am in the works on getting mine together. Oh the joys of babies!!!!
