Hi! So I am now 31 weeks, and I feel like Benjamin is running out of room to grow. My tummy is as hard as a rock and my belly button, which is still an innie, is extremely small. I have a doctors appointment on Monday. It will be a short one, they actually called us and asked us to be there at 7:45am instead of 8, because Dr. B. has to leave for jury duty at 8:30. Kind of a bummer, because this means he will be rushed, but knowing Dr. B. we won't be able to tell he is rushed. I can't believe we only have around 9 more weeks, give or take a week or so. April is almost over already, then May will be here and I will be grauationg and completeing the credential program so that will be exciting. I only have 3 1/2 more weeks of student teaching, which is awesome, I don't think I could have lasted much longer with those long days!! Derek and I finally bought a rug for the living room and one for the family room. We wated one so that Benji could lay on the floor on a blanky and not have to be on a hard surface. His room is completed, his clothes are washed, now all we need is a little baby. I am also very excited for my baby shower, which is in May. Oh, I saw a friend from highschool who is due 5 days after me, and her tummy was way bigger than mine. So maybe Benji won't be the giant baby baby we thought he was going to be after all. He is still moving around, but not as much. He is 17 inches long, and well, he just doesn't have the space he used to. It is weird to think that he is almost as long now as he will be when he is born, just really skinny! I also can't wait for my momma to come see me!!! Unfortunately we will be poor when she comes, so we will be taking a lot of walks and hanging around the house. We decided that I am going to work up until 2 weeks before my due date, Just so I get my full pay and not he 6o% from disabiilty. I am a little worried about financial situations once Benji gets hear, but I know that God will provide, and our priorities will change so we will be fine! Well, now that I am rambling on... I better go. I have my last test for the credential that I have to take today. It is the RICA, and I am not looking forward to taking a test on a Saturday, but hey, at least it is the last one!

You will do fine. I don't think anyone isn't concerned about how the money will work after babies. It does. Like you said, life just changes. And, by the way, I don't mind being around the house and taking walks. Sounds good to me.
Bummer that Dr. Dan has to cut it short. Make sure you write down your questions so you can get to the important stuff. Ask him if they will do another diabetes test before Benji gets here. Love you. I am totally confident you and D will do great. Can't wait to see you all.
I can't wait to see you either. I wish dad could come too :( Sometimes i feel guilty because our timing wasn't better, and now dad can't be here..
i'm so happy for you both! this can be such an exciting time. taking the ryyka? that test, i heard , is quite difficult. how do you think you did? when i became a teacher, i only had to write a unit on Egypt to pass!! no kidding! times are a changin!!
You are way smaller than I was at 31 weeks... so be happy for that! I still have 4 weeks left and people STARE at me and I can just hear them thinking "she's gonna pop any day". We worry about the money thing too, but like you said, God will provide. We just have to be faithful! I can't wait for our little men to be here!!!
