oh lord... we are done with school. the past couple days have been loooooooong and hot! it's not so bad normally but little five year old bodies get cold easier than my hippo physique so i couldn't blast the ac as much as i would have liked to... "meeses spelts! i can't feel my toes!"
so here's the baby update: jack is roughly 16 inches long and almost 3 lbs. (about the size of a folded thick wool sweater... wha????). i don't really believe that comparison but... we'll go with it for now. he has all of his senses up and running. he's even opening his eyes and checking out what's around him, although i feel like it would be awfully dark and hard to see in there. he's been moving more and more and now it will be for longer periods of time so a couple people (mophie and moo... holla!) have been able to feel him move, finally. it's been kind of earthquake-tsunami-wave-like movement too. all of a sudden my whole belly will shake and then these rolling movements go across it... godzilla baby!
the school threw me a baby shower last week and we scored a couple really great things. the kinder team all hooked us up with our awesome bouncer/papasan chair. i really enjoyed hearing all of the horrible labor and delivery stories that some of the women felt compelled to tell me (no i didn't... i'm lying). i even had a grandma of one of my student's come up to me today (last day!) to let me know that i should be careful because her daughter was due this august too but her baby came a week ago and now she's in the hospital for at least 2 months hooked up to all sorts of machines and i should know it could happen to me too.... really lady? i'm sure it could, but last i checked, i'm a fairly normal, healthy person - not a cracked out wackadoo like you and probably your daughter. so BACK OFF! have a great summer! =)
also, i'm going to the doctor again on friday (and most of you know how that went LAST time). so wish me luck and say a little prayer that i catch her on a good day... i'm just assuming she was having a bad day last time and that's why she was a little harsh (in my opinion).
lastly, we are going camping for a whole week next week. soooooooo excited! i was even more excited before i got up to use the bathroom for the second time the other night and had a horrifying thought (at 4am). i'm going camping. and i'm going to have to go to the bathroom in the night. in the dark. by myself. with the bears. and i tell you what.... i'm not walking myself through the woods all the way to find a bathroom in the dark. so matt better be prepared for some late night awakenings because i'm going to need someone to watch my back for bears when i have to get up in the night. rawr.
