Pray to dad, that the baby comes on time lol. Ok so not really the same as the song from Billy Madison, but it fit my situation. I start school in about 2 weeks and I'm nervous as all get out. I'm always nervous by the first day of school (I swear sometimes more so than the students!!) but I'm more nervous about how I'm going to handle school and being pregnant. I'm used to being able to sit down when I need to. Don't get me wrong, I'm going going going all the time. In fact most of my friends and family will say on a regular basis "JENNA! You need to take a break!" but I'm really not good at it! I'm glad to be getting back to work and routine. I miss work, strange I know but I love my job. I guess what I'm really nervous about is getting my students prepared for me to leave. I want them to be secure in the routines before I let a sub come in a take over my classroom for 12 weeks. For someone who is unusually anal about things, it's hard to give up control. I know that especially over the holiday times I'll be itching to get back. Not that I'll want to leave my baby, but I think the ideal situation would be if I could go back to work and take baby with me....hmmm...I wonder if my school district would allow that???
Right now we are enjoying our last FULL day of vacation in Clearwater, FL. It's been a blast all week! We went to a Threshers game and got to watch Chase Utley play (he was rehabbing his hand down here). We've gotten homemade ice cream several times, played puttputt and gone out to eat at some great restaurants!! I'll be sad to leave, especially because the plane ride is very uncomfortable, but I miss my Cali-girl. Megan sends me pictures often and Kari (the mommy of Cali's BFF Diesel) does too, but it's not the same. I can't see her little behind wiggling or snuggle up with her on the couch! She will be SO glad that mommy will be home with her during those 12 weeks that I'm off for maternity leave. She's so unbelievable with children, I'm just excited to see how she reacts to the baby. I've heard many other friends who have boxers say that they are very protective of baby. One of my favorite boxers on You-Tube even started sleeping in the baby's room because it refused to allow it to be "un-watched" lol! I'm sure she'll be jealous of my attention though. Only time will tell (9 weeks to be exact) and I'm sure it will be interesting ;)
