26 weeks

My countdown timer is officially out of the 100's and into the double digits! This makes me SOOO happy and even more excited! I remember my countdown time for our wedding and it felt like once it hit the double digits it FLEW by... so here's to hoping these next three months FLY by!!! Here is a picture of me at 26 weeks...... I do not particularly like this picture because I can tell that my face is getting bigger/fluffier (haha) BUT it shows how big my belly seems to have gotten in the last couple of days. I swear this baby either grew two feet in the last 4 days or it is just sitting funny or maybe it's just me realizing that my stomach is non-stop growing and is starting to get to the huge point (haha) I do have to say that I LOVE it! This morning we ran to wal-mart for a couple of things and I sat down and took my blood pressure for no good reason and it was perfect but my pulse was very high. Buddy, of course, pointed that out (haha) and I had to remind him that I am carrying a baby and that to get anywhere my body is working extra HAHA and yes my pulse does elevate very quickly, which is something I have noticed a lot lately!

Tomorrow is the first day of school and I am really anxious to meet my new students! I had a great first year and am so anxious for this year to begin and to get to know the students. I am sure this week will be full of craziness, chaos, and never ending exhaustion but I truly LOVE my job and the people that I work with so it is ALL worth it! Thursday I go for my monthly OB appointment and I also have my glucose test. They usually do the glucose test in the morning but since mine falls on the first week of school I have to go in the afternoon, which means I am on a very strict diet that day. We will see how this goes! Please pray that the results come back normal and that I do not have gestational diabetes.
