Yep, so close to the due date, but still no signs of our little Jelly Bean arriving any time soon! This picture is actually from last week - my belly has dropped even more! This time is so exciting yet a little scary at the same time.
We have set up labor induction for next Friday, Oct. 30, if he doesn't arrive before then... so no matter what, it will only be a week or less til our little bundle of sunshine is actually in our arms! :)
My students at school threw a surprise shower (thanks to some kind parents & an incredibly thoughtful teaching partner!), it was so incredibly sweet! It was so fun to see them so excited about this. We got some really cute stuff, including PSU gear for the little tyke. I had my students guess the date/weight/name for the baby, it was precious to read their responses (3 ounces, 1 pound...etc....). Too cute!!
Today was actually my last day teaching - it is so weird to walk out of my classroom with nothing to take home to bring back. I am so happy that the long-term sub is exactly who I wanted, I feel very confident leaving the class in her hands. The sad thing is, I am really enjoying this class a lot, so it is very hard to leave them. But I'll be back in January...
I've been trying to find ways to speed up Jelly Bean's arrival - my friend Katie took me for a pedicure on Tuesday, it was so relaxing and so generous of her. :) Now it's on to the raspberry tea and lots of walking (which I've been doing all the time with teaching, anyway) and hmmm, maybe some other things to speed it up... :)
I don't know if I'll be on here again before our Jelly Bean arrives, but I'll be sure to update as soon as I can with pictures - pictures of him will be much cuter than pictures of me with a belly! :) Here's hoping for a quick labor and a healthy baby boy!! :)
