Almost 34 weeks!

School has started, Brian had his surgery, and contractions are daily! It has been a busy two weeks. New Trier officially started this week, though I had meetings all last week. I received interesting reactions from the students when I told them that I would be teaching for about a month, on maternity leave for around 12 weeks, and then back with them the rest of the year. Most were excited and asked a lot of questions, but of course there was some anxiety about having a change in the middle of the school year. Hopefully we can find a long term sub soon!

Yesterday Brian had endoscopic sinus surgery. Thankfully he is feeling much better today, though last night was a different story. He struggled to recover from the anesthesia so we spent the night at the hospital. Needless to say it was a rough night. I was very thankful that Brian's parents came down yesterday to bring Brian to hospital while I was at work and stayed with me until he was in the recovery room. I believe it was due to stress, but while in the waiting room I started having numerous contractions.......could you imagine if I really went in labor? Brian's mom and I were joking about Brian waking up and us handing him a baby!

Here are some pictures from the night before the surgery. Brian and his dad were staying busy by putting together the glider!

  1. Hey, sorry to hear that Brian had to have surgery. Sure hope he's feeling lots better. The baby was probably feeling your anxiety and wanted you to know it.
    The glider looks mighty comfy!
    Love you guys!
