Furniture, Ultrasounds, and More

I have had several people ask whether or not we have Trigger's nursery ready. The answer is NO!!!! I have failed myself...My goal was to get the nursery ready before our last day of school BUT that is not going to happen. I have been so bogged down with end of the year school stuff that I haven't thought of anything else. As far as our furniture, we have gotten our armoire and chair and ottoman in. They are in the nursery and look great! However, the owner of the store keeps telling us our crib will be in in a few days. I am a VERY trusting person and very gullible. I have heard that this store has had some bad reviews especially with it taking forever to get their furniture. BUT, I am choosing to believe him when he tells me we should have it by the end of next week! We shall see! Oh...and our dresser (he says) are in the store. He is going to wait to deliver it with the crib!
I am sorry that I haven't posted about our ultrasound. We had an ultrasound about 10 days ago. He is still a boy! The ultrasound lady was VERY nice...she had never (in 16 years) heard of Antiphospholipid Syndrome so I tried to explain it to her. She took some pictures for us but Trigger (once again) did not cooperate. He must take after his daddy...hahaha!!!! He is facing the back of me and so it was hard to get a picture of his face.
Well...I have 7 days of school left. I am not counting today because I am not at school today. I took off because my best friend growing up (since we were 2) is getting married this weekend! I am a bridesmaid so we have a luncheon today. It's going to be a busy weekend! I am excited about being out for the summer because that means I will be finished with school scrapbooks that we make for each child and I will be closer to meeting Trigger. I am going to miss these children though. Each year it is amazing to me to see how attached I become to my children. After spending the whole year with them, I know there little personalities and can read their expressions AND can identify their voice and know what's going on without looking...it's truly like being their second mom! But, I will have a whole new bunch next year and will get to know and love them too!
I do have two prayer requests. ONE....that I will stop stressing about the beginning of the school year for next year. I am not sure when I will deliver but at the most I will miss 6 weeks of school. Those of you that are teachers know that those first weeks are when you establish your routine and expectations for the year. They can make or break your entire year!!! SO...I am just a little stressed about turning my class over. I know Mrs. Lewis will do great. I guess I am just a little anal about my classroom! and I have a lot to get ready for Mrs. Lewis!
SECOND...Matt and I are going to see Dr. Groome on Monday afternoon. He is a maternal/fetal medicine specialists. Dr. Harper wants us to go see him for a consultation. Our pregnancy is high risk and we were told in the beginning to expect bedrest and maybe hospitalization and very early delivery. Everything has gone smoothly so far so I have kindof been thinking, "WOW...maybe this is going to be okay!" But, I haven't made it to the last trimester and we still have no clue what will happen then. So...We have a few things that Dr. Groome is going to look at and we need to meet him in case we have to deliver really early. So just pray that we get our questions answered and that he really pays attention to all the details of my case!
OK....so I bet your tired of reading...I am tired of typing! That's all for now!
