The girls went off to school yesterday. Nadalie is in the fourth grade this year. She has a man teacher, and she was not too sure about how she was going to like him, but when she got home yesterday she said he is the best teacher ever. She got alot of funny comments from the staff there with her shirt SHE chose to buy and wear yesterday.
Rachel is in the first grade this year, and has Matthew's first grade teacher. She is really nice. Collin was sooooo excited to see them, I think he missed them while they were gone all day. I packed both girls lunches with surprises and a surprise note from mama to tell them I was going to miss them like crazy! Rachel told me that she wants to buy for a while, I thought she did not like her lunch but she is very excited that she gets to make her own choices now at school without mom. They are both growing up so fast. Makes me sad :(
I had my 36 week doctors appointment. No changes yet but still having contractions which might be due to dehydration I was told. I was measuring at 37 1/2 weeks so we did an ultrasound. The baby looks great. He is head down but face up. And yes he is still a HE. We double checked. The ultrasound said that he is about 7 pounds 9 ounces right now give or take 15 ounces (I think that the baby is taking in all of everything that I eat!). And they calculated that he is measuring at 38 weeks and 1 day but we are to still go by the origional due date for lung maturity. I will find out next week what the plan is, if we will be inducing or not and when. I do have to say that I think this baby looks like Collin. :) We can't wait to meet this little one. I have been busy "nesting" around here. Cleaning like crazy, washing baby clothes, setting up the infant car seat, and packing my bag for the hospital. I have had a lot more energy lately. We are still planning on naming him Ryan, although Nathan is still the back up name just in case.
