June 10th- Big Day!

After going to the doctor for my 12 week appointment on Thursday, they told me to come back at 17 weeks and we will find out what we're having! We will be heading back to the doctor June 10th to find out if it is a boy or girl! Hopefully we will be successful at this appointment (no legs crossed!). I will let everyone know immediately what we find out. I think this will be the most exciting day for us. You have your ideas and predictions of what you think it may be but only God knows at this point. I definitely WILL NOT be able to sleep on the 9th! Pray for a successful appointment.

Teacher Appreciation Week!

What a great week of appreciation it has been at Cullman City Primary School!! I have received the most wonderful gifts.

Monday was Treat Day- Students brought all of my favorite snacks and drinks!

Tuesday was Stock the Classroom Day- Students brought school supplies and much needed classroom must haves!

Wednesday was Flower Day- Students brought flowers and plants! My class also made me a vase with painted flowers on it made out of their thumbprints.

Thursday was Baby Day- Students brought all kinds of baby items! My students also made me a "Baby Talk" book. It was filled with interviews from each child describing in their own words MY new little baby...such as its hair color, weight, length, who it will look like, names if its a boy or if it is a girl, their predictions-boy or girl, warnings to the child of what things make me mad (such as not walking in a straight line or talking while I am talking) and happy (such as listening, not crying, using their best handwriting,etc.) It will be a book our family will treasure for years to come! :)

Friday was Surprise Day- Students brought in a "surprise me"gift!

Today we will end our appreciation week with a teacher luncheon (NO KIDS!). I have really enjoyed this group of parents and I appreciate them a million times more than they will ever know.

Partners in Pregnancy

So a few weeks ago, Austin and I learned that Matt and Jamie Dellinger are also expecting their first baby a few weeks after ours will be due. We are so excited to be going through this with such close friends. This was such exciting news!! It was extremely exciting news for Austin. Austin and Matt have been friends forever and it is really a friendship that he respects and cherishes. When he found out, all he could say was "This is great...this is great!!" Jamie and I have had the opportunity to share stories (good and bad!) We have been able to relate to each other and ask questions. It has been wonderful! We are so excited to be on this journey with such wonderful friends!!
