To the left is a picture of me and Mark at the shower (26 weeks).I can't believe how quickly the past few months have flown. I'm SO excited the end of the semester is upon me, and while I will be teaching over the summer, the schedule will be much less hectic. For the past semester, I've been teaching 8 courses for 3 separate institutions, which means three separate textbooks. Who thought signing up for all of this was a good idea?!? Good grief!
I'm happy to report that everything is going well with little Parker Claire who is now set to make her debut on August 2nd. I had my first shower last week, and it was a lot of fun. The gals (and gents) in my office are really great. Our big shower is May 30 (hosted by two sorority sisters of mine). The shower will be a couples shower with some of my family, but mostly friends. Mark's family will host a shower after Parker is here....it'll just be his brothers, sisters and parents in attendance, so I'm hoping it'll be pretty low-key.
At my recent OB appointment, my blood pressure was 110/68, which made me very happy. I did my glucose test, so we'll see what happens with that. The doctor did tell me I need to start gaining some weight. Since about 9 weeks pregnant, I've only gained 3 pounds, but I'm still down 7 from when we got knocked up. Unfortunately, the doctor said I need to eat HEALTHY options to gain the weight. I assume "healthy" does not include my passion for Skittles, Starbursts, or anything gummy! BAH.
I'm off to a meeting, but wanted to quickly post. I look forward to catching up with y'all now that things are slowing down here a bit.
