3 weeks down and 3 more to go plus a day.  Next Wednesday I will be the paid sub for my mentor teacher, and then the following week I will be the sub all week.  I pray that everything will go well in the classroom.                     

 This past week I was called Grandma and Dad on a few different occasions in the classroom.  It's so funny.  All I do is stare at the student and wait for them to correct themselves.    


It was exciting to see our little Thomas yesterday.  We are happy because doc says that he is breathing good.  We even got to see him chewing, one of his new tricks he has learned in the past few weeks.

  Bible study is going well.  We are on week 4 of the study.  :)  Last week we went to Homer to hear a Lies Young Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free seminar. 

Here's the newest from baby Thomas.  Sorry the last two ultrasounds didn't make it onto our blogs...the tape didn't work quite right so they couldn't be posted.

On Tuesday January 27th, we'll only have 9 more weeks.  It is an exciting thought.  We can't wait to meet Baby Thomas.

I have completed 2 of my 6 weeks of residency.  I had an awesome week.  I am so close to being done I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  :)  I love my students though.  A kid from another class made Baby Thomas a hat.  Then one of my first graders asked me if I was going to have a baby and I said yes.  I think he might have thought I have just been getting fat for no reason.  My first grader told me that he was going to make Baby Thomas a blanket and if he couldn't make a blanket, he was going to bring in one of his old hats.

On Thursday my class and I melted a popsicle in the microwave.  :)  We are learning about the water cycle and wanted to see if the popsicle would evaporate in the microwave.  Afterwards we ate some popsicles. 

God is good!

Baby Thomas is doing well.  Our next doctor's appointment is on Thursday.  I have to go during recess and pray that I get done before recess ends. 

I hope all is well with you and your families!  I would love to hear from anyone who reads my blog!  Love you guys!

Thanks Kayli for responding to the last one!  We are starting on week 4. :)

This picture was taken Christmas day with Adam's family. 

A lot has happened in the last 6 weeks.  It is amazing to think that there are only 11 weeks until a new member joins our family.  We all can't wait!  Baby Thomas should be 14-16 inches long and weighing up to 3 pounds already. :)  Please pray that he continues to grow healthy. 

This past week I have been in the classroom full time as the lead teacher.  I am exhausted.  I am staying one day ahead of my class.  My class consists of 6 squirmy first graders, 10 second grades, and 8 third graders.  And plus Baby Thomas.  My classroom experience ends in 5 weeks  (Feb. 20).  I will definitely miss being in the classroom all the time but I think by then I will be ready to stay at home to get some much needed rest before Thomas arrives.  Plus I still have to get his nursey ready.

This past week I also started attending a lady's bible study with my church that I am excited about.  We are studying Ester.  I am looking forward to the chance to getting to know some of the ladies in our church better.
