26 weeks!

Here we are at 26 weeks! Time is definitely flying! I got to see my good friend Erin's 2 week old this past weekend, and his presence reminds me just how close we're getting to seeing Jackson! Exciting!

I'm still feeling good, so I'm ever thankful for that. Andrew had a 12 hour stomach bug that I managed to NOT catch...yay! And, I think I've started waddling a little bit. I asked Andrew about it last night. He gave me that "Oh, crap..." look. You know, the one where you ask someone if you look fat and they aren't sure how to respond. Andrew and I have this honesty policy though. If we ask, we answer honestly...basically, that means you don't ask a question you don't want an honest answer for. I wasn't fishing for a compliment. I really wanted to know, so I asked! :) He laughed and told me that I was shuffling a bit more than usual. Ha!

I am battling plenty of stress this week...so for me, that means I'm battling a little anxiety. I'm a bit over-committed (surprise, surprise!), which is always my problem. I never should have agreed to sponsor the yearbook. Even though I have some help, it's way more work that I expected and want to do. We have a deadline this week that feels impossible to meet. I'm also behind on some grading I need to do and update. On top of that, I'm still teaching at the gym and have stuff to learn before my class tomorrow night, I have a full time job of teaching, I am getting my gifted endorsement (which is very much like being back in graduate school with all the reading, projects, lesson plans, tests, etc.), and I feel a growing desire to prepare my house for Jackson. Andrew says I'm nesting. :) It's not any one thing...it's just the combination of them all and the timing. I'll get through by Grace b/c He always makes it work.

As Andrew always says, "Just do the next thing..."

What's the next thing? Sleep. :)
