Well, I can't believe that we are already at 17 weeks! I went to the doctor last Friday and everything looked great. Baby M's heartbeat was about 150 so that is perfect! The myth tells us that our little one would be a girl.....:)
Our next appointment is set for Friday, August 3rd and this is where we should hopefully find out (fingers crossed) if we have a little guy or a little princess.
As of right now I am starting to get into my classroom and get it ready. I figured I would need more time than normal to work on it since I don't last as long as I used too! However, my energy is getting much better and I feel great for the most part. I told Jeff that by the end of this month we had to clear out one of our spare rooms and sell the furniture. Our next plan would be to put down new flooring and paint. I would like to do some of this before school starts but I know we will be pushing it to do that. People have been asking I have been overly emotional here lately and honestly I haven't been too bad. I just found out this week that I will have to take another state test for my literacy specialist license! Just when I thought it was all over.....
I was alright for the most part with this until I saw the math portion that would be on it. I haven't done this kind of math since I was a freshman in college so needless to say I started to panic. If only they would put fourth grade math on it I would be good to go! So I shed a few tears and got upset over that. Other than that, right now things are pretty normal. My obsession with Mexican food has passed and I am really into pizza right now. Too bad I can't want food that might actually be healthy for me!
