Home stretch

I decided to start off this post with some news about the baby! I sometimes feel bad that we aren't more prepared for the little one but it just hasn't worked out that way this time. Not only is it a surprise, which we are super excited about but makes it hard to buy things, but we are now officially in the process of moving so we have no room to decorate yet anyways. We'll make up for it once the baby arrives and we have our new house, which will also be a surprise since we don't have one yet :) On the baby front, I'm officially in the 3rd trimester now, 13 more weeks to go. We saw the specialist again this past week and everything still looks great. She can't see any problems with either the baby or me so what is classified as a "high risk pregnancy" has been very normal, minus all the dr. appts. I go see my normal dr. this week to get cleared to fly to El Paso for Labor Day weekend. We're going to visit the grandparents, which I know they are excited to see Ms. Haley.

Haley will be starting "school" on Monday. I can't believe our girl is getting so big. She is going to a two day a week program at the Methodist Church from 9 - 2:30. It's more of a Mother's Day out, or in her case Grandma's Day out, but it should be fun. We met the teacher on Thursday and some of the kids in her class. They seem to have a busy schedule, going to music class, then gym, followed by "art", lunch and a nap. At her age the room is more of a play room then true classroom but I think being around other kids will be good for her. Matt and I are going to take her and pick her up the first day, which will be harder on us then her but I know she is in good hands.

Other then that, it was a pretty normal week :) We didn't take too many pictures this week, shame on me, but we'll have some of the first day of school on Monday and our trip to El Paso starting on Friday.

Haley taking her first nap in our bed at home. I have always put Haley down in her own bed but we made an exception this once for nap time. She was sleeping with Grandma in San Antonio so when she came back home she thought she could do the same in our bed. While we think it is so cute, I've heard over and over from friends to never start that habit. We decided she can take a nap in our bed on weekends only but no spending the entire night! Luckily, she went right back to sleep on her own in her bed that night...whew!
