Finally an Update!! 28 Weeks


Wow! I haven't posted since December? Yikes!! Well a lot has happened since then. I moved back near Tampa, a town called Brandon. I have an apartment and am starting to finally get settled. I just got internet today!! Yeah!! Let's see...where should I start? When I first got down here I stayed at Tom and Christina's house for a couple months so that I could save up for an apartment. I moved into my apartment on March 11th. In February I started a temporary 1st grade teaching position that lasted through April 4th. Since then I have been "stalking" principals about positions for the spring and for next fall. I have spoken to a couple who seem interested in hiring me for fall, but right now that is a waiting game. As for spring, there is only about 6 weeks left of school, so I am going to try to sub and volunteer at the schools I am interested in.

On March 7th, Tania, Tricia, Dana, and Keri gave me a beautiful baby shower in Crestview. The food was yummy, the games were fun, and the gifts were generous. I received many neccesities that Olivia and I will be using shortly. I had a ton of fun!! I would post a picture.......but someone accidently deleted them....ha ha....I won't tell!!

On April 11th I had a small shower here, given by my mom, Chip, and Christina. It was a long distance shower, so many of my family sent gifts that I opened. My friends Stacy and Shannon were at the shower also. The first thing we did was go to a Pottery store and everyone picked out something to make for Olivia. I make her a piggy bank!! Then we had lunch together and went back to Christina's house for games, cupcakes, and gifts. I had a wonderful time.

Today I am 28 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty good. I am starting to feel uncomfortable at night and my feet and legs are starting to swell. Olivia is moving around a lot! Last Saturday I had a 4D ultrasound. My mom, Chip, and Christina came with me. It was great seeing her and getting a sneak peak at what she will look like. This weekend I am going to put together Olivia's Crib and Changing Table (with help of course)!! I will post pictures as her nursery gets put together.
