Not much happening lately!

I know I fell of the blog bandwagon for a week. Not too much to report on now that I'm back! The biggest news is that school is about to start. Jessica goes back on Tuesday Sept 2 and Rachel on Wed the 3rd. Both are very excited to meet their new teachers. Jessica will have Mrs. Graham and Rachels preschool teacher is Mrs. Copulus. We went back to school shopping - just the girls - - and had a good time. Jessica really wanted a High School Musical Backpack - and of course she got it! She also got a HSM T-shirt and HSM sneakers. She has only seen the first HSM, but it's her favorite movie right now. Poor Rachel didn't really get anything. She has so many hand-me-downs, it's hard to buy anything new for her! We got away with it this year, but I think she'll throw a bigger fit next year!

They are also about to start gymnastics again. Jessica has been practicing her hand stands and Rachel her foward rolls. Neither can do backward rolls yet - so we'll be working on that! They really enjoyed watching the US Gymnastics team in the Olympics. Jessica thinks one day she'll be good enough to go to the Olympics too. She wondered if she goes though, if she would really be there or if she would just watch herself on TV? So cute the way a 6 year old thinks!

This weekend, we are going to the Monstor Truck show at the Buck! The Craigs got a group together, so we thought we would rope Gee Gee and Pop Pop into going with us. I just need to make sure we have lots of earplugs! I'm worried Jessica won't like it because it will be loud. She didn't care much for the fireworks because it was too loud - -I can't imagine what she'll think after this!

Baby #3 is doing fine. Heartrate is still in the 150's according to my doppler. We go next Friday for our next appointment. The nauseau is bearable now, but I recently had a migraine that put me down for a day or so. I've never had migraine before, and I don't care to ever have one again! I'm also in full maternity gear now at 16 weeks - the belly is growing quite rapidly. I think I'm also feeling some of the little flutter movements, but no kicks yet.

See told you, there's not much going on around here lately!

Wow...the Buck! I remember going to the Buck as a kid - what fun memories! I've been in my classroom working this week. I have to go back next week and the kids start the 2nd. I think we're all ready to go back. Thanks for the update...I've been waiting!!! Ha! Ha!
