They say women are pregnant for 9 months...or 40 weeks. Well, I know I'm not a math teacher, but I can do simple multiplication, and no matter how many times I try....9X4 is NOT 40.
So...last week, when I became 24 weeks pregnant, it was a kicker for me. On the 9 MONTH scale (9X4=36 weeks), I am 6 MONTHS PREGNANT. On the 40 WEEKS scale (40/4 = 10 months), I am somewhere around 5 and a half months pregnant.
WHICHEVER.....Our baby girl is due on December 4th, and today is August 23rd. I'll let YOU do the math because I just can't seem to make sense of it in my head :).
So at 24 months, a lot of things happened in my life and in the life of our sweet daughter. I officially started a new job at Central High School, teaching English IV and coaching varsity cheerleading. I have my classroom ready, my lessons planned, and my mind wrapped around the fact that school is coming, ready or not! So....bring on Monday!
Also at 24 months, my sister, Morgan, got married to Lenny! I served as Matron of Honor, and our sweet daughter held my hand throughout the entire thing! It was such a great time - full of love, joy, and lots of smiles (and flips in Baby H's case!). Morgan looked beautiful, and Lenny was so handsome. They did endure a tiny fiasco at their honeymoon, but thanks to Sandals resorts and Lenny's insistence, they got a refund from the nasty place and headed straight to Sandals-Montego Bay! Brian and I went to Jamaica, too, on our honeymoon, and we were just down the road at Sandals-Negril! We loved it, and I'm sure Morgan and Lenny are loving it, too!
Brian FINALLY comes home tomorrow from his residency in Temple. We (Baby H and I) are SO ready for him to be here. We miss him so much, and I'm pretty sure he misses us, too ;). Because he did his residency this summer, Brian gets to take all of September and October OFF from school - woohoo!! I'm sure you can imagine what that means....a honey-do list.....a long one.....that includes painting....and putting together cribs....and decorating with fru-fru decorations...and all things BABY H! I know this whole girly thing isn't really what Brian is USED to, but he is definitely in love with his little girl, and I know he will be a great daddy!
I promised some pictures from the reveal party, and I FINALLY got them uploaded and edited....so here ya go!
Everyone got to write a note to our sweet Baby H...can't wait to let her read these someday!
Everyone got to cast their vote...boy or girl!
Everyone wore their guess...either a bow or a mustache! Everyone looked so cute!
Everyone got to suggest a name...they were all so sweet!...well, most of them!
The table of yummies!
Everyone drank lemonade out of these mason jars that I made with burlap!
TEAM BOY!
TEAM GIRL!
Such a beautiful surprise!
I was already so in love with her!
Ready or not...TEAM GIRL!
From our family to yours....
