My best friend from Boston has come to visit for a few days. We got a hotel in Richmond and are enjoying ourselves for her vacation and my stay-cation. So far we have walked around a ton, ate way too much and slept too late each morning. We did get manicures and pedicures and it felt great. I don't know what we will do today....go to a mall and buy a few cute baby items, possibly see something historical (I could care less after teaching History all year but she'd like it).
Last night we went down to my home to see the dogs and have dinner with Mike. I went through the hunting room to use the bathroom and was instantly brought to tears. He is painting the hunting room pink with purple curved stripes and added butterfly decals. It may not go with my gender neutral theme of jungle animals but it is the sweetest thing he could have done. It shows me he is accepting/happy for his little girl. It shows me he cares enough to give up his precious, sacred room for the baby. I knew he loved me and her but this is more meaningful than any words.
We also got married on April 13th 2014. We were married on a sunny Sunday afternoon under a cedar tree at his parents' house. It was the two of us, his parents, and my friend Kim and her husband (she performed the ceremony). It was exactly what I wanted except his mother only had a disposable camera on hand so the pictures were not good. I didn't realize I had my digital camera in the car the entire time...slightly bummed about that but I will always have the memories. His mother made us a great dinner of stuffed shells and meatballs, sausages, and garlic bread. She also made us a cake with Rock-Em-Sock-Em Robots as our cake topper. She said that's the only fight we should ever have.
We've decided to name the baby Chloe Lyn (Lynn). We haven't decided which spelling for her middle name yet. I think it will be Lynn. She's moving a ton, making my back and legs sore and expanding my belly quickly. You cannot really feel her kicks on the outside yet so I am sad Mike hasn't felt her but that will come soon enough I'm sure.
Work is going quickly. The kids have state exams in 2-3weeks. I'm nervous they will not be ready but they are working and I'm trying my best for them. Since I have special needs kids, my pass rate is always low but I pray they do better this year than last years' kids. I volunteered to work summer school but I don't know if they will pick me due to the pregnancy. I need the extra pay so I really hope they decide if I feel up to it, I should be given the position.
That's all for now..waiting for my friend to wake up. I am showered, had breakfast and caught up on reading on here....sorry I don't comment more on people's entries. I feel people comment much less here than on OD.
