Another One Down

Yesterday, I had another appointment with the doctor. Everything is going great and the doctor seemed very pleased. It was the first time we heard the heartbeat with the Doppler because I had ultrasounds done at my other appointments. The best part is that I can hear it anytime I want because I recorded it on a Build-a-Bear recorder. We heard this idea from someone at our church to record the heartbeat using one of them and then placing it in the bear for the baby to hear. The doctor had done this before and she was so great in making the perfect recording.

On another note, Tim's parents, sister and her fiance are here for the weekend and our big project is working on the nursery. We are putting wainscoting around the bottom and painting the top. Our furniture was finished this week so it will all be coming together soon. I'll try to put some pictures up when we have some done.

Speaking of pictures, I'm trying to wait until I officially hit the halfway mark before posting a picture. Look for that soon in an upcoming blog!

Summer is Winding Down

Well, it's offical...summer is almost over. Next Wednesday, Tim will be starting up with fall sports as OTHS starts then. I go back to work the following Monday. Even though seeing summer come to a close is sometimes sad, it's also a very exciting time as a teacher. I love getting my room ready and organized and my curriculum planned. I also work with some wonderful people and it's always exciting to see them again. I also LOVE meeting my new students. It's exciting to think about what the school year will be like.

Tim and I had a wonderful summer. In May, we were able to travel to Wisconsin twice and visit with family and friends. In early June, we took a long weekend to Nashville and had a blast visiting the city and going to an awesome concert! Just a few weekends ago, we were able to take a weekend away to St. Louis for a PAO/FCA Coaches Time Out conference. Throughout all the trips, it was a wonderful time to get away and be with each other. Overall, it was an awesome summer!
