Week 17
This week was extra busy. We took the entire 4th
grade to Austin on Tuesday and toured the Capitol and Bob Bullock Museum. The
Senate was in session and the kids got to see a little bit of action take
place, which was really neat. I will say that when I took my students four
years ago, the impact was a lot different. Most of my current students vacation
in foreign countries and seeing the state capital was not all that impressive.
We left at about 5:45am and I got home at around 9pm. I knew it would be a long
week, but sleep is my current craving.
My Papa Jones’ girlfriend, Winnie, passed away this
weekend. My family found out too late that she had a heart attack and she was
already gone before we could see her. She took vacations with my Papa in his
last years and they were always smiling together. I loved Winnie. She was not
my grandmother, but she was very special to me. She lived a wonderful life and
made it to 90 years.
On a happy note, my big brother’s 36th
birthday was on Wednesday. He turned 36.
Old man! It is still so funny to think that my big brother and husband were
friends long before Chris and I met. Things always work out perfectly, don’t
they?
Friday night we went to Dave and Libby’s for dinner. We
ate Libby’s famous guacamole and salsa and Dave made delicious fajitas on the
Green Egg. I was super tired after this long week, so I think we left a little
early. We got to enjoy the company of the Thurman’s as well. We are so lucky to
have such great friends.
Saturday, we had Robby’s 2nd birthday party. He
was so precious with all of his monsters! Christy and Tres are expecting their
second in late August and they are keeping it a surprise this time. Boy or
girl, I know our kids will be little friends.
Christy is a teacher too, and I am sure I will be calling her in those
first weeks for support.
Today is Mother’s Day. My sweet husband made me feel
special about being a mom. I do not technically have you in my arms yet, but
you are a part of me and I am so thankful. Some kind person even mailed me a
card in the mail that was from you. How clever! I know it was someone from a
Fort Worth address, but they left the card blank. Precious.
Baby Size- Our baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and is around 5
inches long from head to bottom.
Developments-
The baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to
bone, and the umbilical cord — the lifeline to the placenta — is growing
stronger and thicker. They can move joints, and sweat glands are starting to
develop.
Cravings- Still
loving pizza, pasta, milk, fruit, and cereal. I am so glad I am eating!
Symptoms- SO TIRED. It is the end of the school year, the
kids have taken over, and I worked a 14 hour day on Tuesday taking the kids to
Austin. What a long week! I am hoping for more sleep this week. Right…
