37 weeks!

So 37 weeks is here, and it was one exhausting week, let me tell ya! The week before a holiday break is usually a little chaotic, but with trying to make sure I had everything in order in case Rhett decided to make an early appearance, taking care of lots of paper work for my kiddos, progress monitoring, and not to forget the teaching part of my job, it was a little more stressful this year. But I got it all taken care of and feel good about being gone My sub, Maci Drown has been to visit a few times and I feel so good about her coming in and taknig over for me while I am out. It has been so nice of her to come up and meet the kids and kind of see our routine in action. The kids think she is awesome so I feel very confident and not stressed at all about having her step in for me. She really has made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I am pretty lucky to have had Maci come up and be so eager and willing to help out! She is awesome and I cannot thank her enough!! It can be overwhelming having a sub for one day but for over 6 weeks is a lot for a teacher to handle. These kids become "mine" and I feel so responsible for them and want only the best for them academically and emotionally. I know Maci will do such a great job and I am very at ease with it. She has told me not to worry about anything while  I am out with my baby boy, which also makes me feel really good. She told me to just enjoy my time with him and that she will be able to hold down the fort while I am gone. These are the kind of things that make me so happy to have her as my sub. I am blessed!

My doctor appointment went good this week. Everytinng is still going good and I guess Rhett is just a baking away in there!They didn't measure me or anything they will start doing that next week at the 38 week appointment. My feet swelling is still in full effect and at the end of the day my feet and ankles look they should be in a cartoon or something. I am still  exercising but have cut back to one work out class a week and then walking the rest of the week. I am trying to drink a lot of water to help with the swelling and elevating my feet but that gets pretty uncomfortable after a while. But any day now we should see a little Rhett Avery Christensen making his debut and I just can't wait!!!

37 weeks!!!
