Well I am 29 weeks pregnant, back to work, and surviving. I must say going back to work wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I feel great physically and seem to have a nice class. I have 25 3rd graders, which includes 5 classified special ed. children because I am an "inclusion" classroom. Emotionally, leaving Mia has been terrible. I know that I have it easier than a lot of women because I leave Mia with Meg, but it is still hard to be away from her. I watch the clock and think about what we would be doing if I were home with her. I miss her terribly. I have wallpapered the walls with her pictures and that helps. Plus, I have some really great friends there and that helps too.
So far, I have gained about 20 pounds which is perfect for 29 weeks. I look like I am carrying a basketball in the front. Very stereotypical for a boy but it seems to be true. At work they tease me and say that from the back I don't look pregnant. I have no stretch marks so far and am hoping to keep them away again!
Little Kev is a mover and shaker and we can watch him doing flips at night. I am very excited for him to be born and to spend about 10 months home with him and Mia. I think Mia will be a great big sister. She is doing very well with Sophia and has only hit her a few times and she realized right away that it was wrong and then she was "nice" to her. Little Sophia just loves Mia to pieces. When we walk in to the apartment in the morning, Sophia lights up and coos and aahs at Mia. They are going to be great friends.
Again, I apologize for the lack of posts and pictures and will try to do better! Love ya if you are still reading and believe in my ability to occasionally post to this blog!

I love to hear about how your pregnancy is going. It makes me think about when I was pregnant with Jaelyn & there are time I wish I was again! Maybe in a few years. Can't wait to see some pics of you.
