2.5!!!!

Two steps forward, one and a half backwards. That seems to be the motto of my class this year. Thursday and Friday went relatively well, but today was another story. I can see the end coming closer and closer though.

B is still enjoying his two week break. Although he is "working" in the weightroom almost everyday, he is finding time to relax and recharge for his final quarter. Today he was sitting and playing the guitar when I got home. It's nice to know one of us had a relaxing day.

As for a recent pregnancy picture, there aren't any. Although Corrie and most websites recommend taking a picture each month as a keepsake, I don't like the idea of looking back and remembering getting bigger and bigger. I could see myself as much more likely to take pictures as I lose the weight. We'll see what we can do though.

I must take a moment to brag before ending this. B and I just got back from what he guess-timates to be a 2.5 mile walk! I have to say that makes a girl who's just over 6 weeks from her due date feel pretty good about herself. (And I actually was walking at a better pace than most of my recent walks.)

Fast Fleeting Saturday

Saturday finally gets here, and it's already half over! Luckily there are only 3 more weeks until Spring Break! B's parents are coming to St. Louis today and bringing the baby's dresser/changing table with them. Unfortunately they're making the 6.5 hour trip here today and heading back tomorrow. That doesn't leave much time to do much together. Although, we will definitely make time to eat out on The Hill ("the" Italian neighborhood that we live in).

Also, here's a picture of the baby back in October. This was from the first ultrasound when we still didn't know it was a boy. He and I are both feeling a bit more cramped now as our shared space seems to be getting more and more crowded.

Getting Started

All I meant to do was make myself able to comment on Matt and Lindsay's blog, and I ended up having to make my own. The way I see it though is that this is like a year-long Christmas letter and should save some hassle come next December, right?!?

So here's where the expanding K family stands (I'll be glad when "expanding" no longer refers to me). . . there are 47 days left until the baby's expected arrival (April 12th). B and I couldn't be more excited.

Next week B starts his final quarter at the seminary! There is a light at the end of the tunnel that get's brighter every day. Less than 2 weeks after the baby's due date is call day when we will find out where we are being sent. What an exciting April!

I continue to survive teaching. Things have gotten a bit better. It's hard when you continually have students dropping and enrolling in class. I've lost at least 4 students since Christmas break and gained at least 6 new ones. (It gets hard to keep up with after a while.) My newest student is truly a gift from God and keeps me encouraged to keep going.
