Two more weeks!

After a week of conferences, pushing my kiddos along on their fourth writing that will be graded and sent to the state, and just dealing with third graders in March, I was sure the exhaustion meant that Brenna was on her way this weekend. After Justin and I visited the doctor yesterday, my opinion has changed. She said that more than likely I will go the full time and have two more weeks...or she could be born tomorrow. Thanks, Dr. Obvious! Sometimes I don't know if the doctors know anymore about delivery dates than they did in the 1800s.

Also, spring has sprung in Georgia. Daffodils and buttercups are poking their bright little heads out of the ground. I love this time of year! I think this is a perfect time for my Brenna to come into the world. I keep thinking about future birthdays and how nice it will be to have something offical to celebrate at this point in the year. I can't wait for my little Easter bunny to make her appearance!

I keep singing in my head:

Why do you build me up (Build me up)
Buttercup baby just to
let me down (Let me down)
And mess me around
And then worst of all (Worst of all)
You never call baby
When you say you will (Say you will)
But I love you still
I need you (I need you)
More than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start

Justin's Event

My husband started a new part of his coaching career this winter/spring. He is the Oconee County head track coach! It seems to be running smoothly so far. Tomorrow is a major event that his school is sponsoring, the Barberitos Classic. I have very rarely seen my husband stressed out, but this week has definitely pushed him to new limits. He has worked very hard in the executing and planning and I am very proud of him.

I have discussed (ha!) the big day with Brenna and we have decided she needs to wait longer to grace the world with her presence. (not that anyone is saying anything aboout her coming early...just making a joke, really!) We want the future daddy to be able to get over the stress of this event before adding anything to it.

Justin and I both took off today. Him for obvious preparation reasons, and me for a mid-day doctor's appointment. The doctor said that Brenna and I were doing fine and that she is head down right now. We think she is lounging on her side. I keep feeling a shelf on my right side that is her little bum and nobby things like feet and knees pushing on my left side.
