I'm finally starting to show!!!! It is very exciting! I catch Nicholas looking at my belly sometimes and I ask, "Are you looking at your baby?" He is so sweet! We have had a very busy last few weeks. Nicholas has a brand new job (he starts on Monday) and I've been working daily in my classroom getting it all ready for the August 21st start date. This past weekend we took a long weekend trip to visit our Godparents, Scott and Heather in Baltimore. We were able to see Heather's new house and a lot of downtown Baltimore. On Monday, Mimzey, Great Grams, Great Aunt Kathy and Cousin Maria (future babysitter) flew in for a visit. We spent the day with family around Baltimore. We even stopped in a shop and found the PERFECT rocker for the baby's nursery! Thanks to Mimzey it's made it's way to Pickerington where it is getting some much needed "warm up" rocks.
Baby Montgomery is ~7 inches long and weighs ~6 oz. I haven't felt any movement yet...but I imagine I'll feel him/her soon. Nicholas and I go for our BIG APPOINTMENT on Sept. 6th at 8:15am!!! As long as the baby feels like sharing we should then know if we're having a little boy or a little girl!!!! Mark you calendars....I'll try to blog that day at school but it might not get posted until later that evening.
WoW! These past few weeks have been busy! Baby Montgomery has been to Frisch and Moe's Wedding in Athens, A Pro Football preseason game in Cleveland, in a 2nd Grade Class for a week and helped us celebrate my 28th birthday!!! SUPER BABY!!! With all of this excitement there should be no doubt that Baby Montgomery has been doing a lot of moving and shaking as well. Within the past few weeks I have finally felt some movement in my belly. When I'm able to sit still I can feel our little one doing his/her 
exercises! I really feel a lot of activity right after meal time and right before I go to bed. Last night I felt a bump on the outside of my belly. To prove it to my self I set the remote control on my belly and actually saw it move when the baby bumped!! This was very fun! Nick was already in bed at this point so I didn't wake him to feel but now that I'm starting to catch on to our baby's routine I'll be able to have Nicholas ready so he can have a preview of whats to come. On August 21st I started teaching 20 very sweet little seco
nd graders! It was an exhausting week but so much fun getting back into teaching for the year. We were doing a counting exercise the third day of school where we were touching our head, belly and toes. I kept saying, bump your head, bump your belly... etc." One of my little students said, "You sure are bumping that baby around a lot today!" LOL, very perceptive! I've just begun my 21st week of pregnancy and I feel fantastic. I am starting to show more and more every day and can't wait to go maternity clothes shopping with Nana and Mimzey! Baby Montgomery is growing just as fast, weighing in at an impressive 10 oz! Hope everyone is doing well! The count down is on... Only 11 more day until we know whether Baby Montgomery is a little boy or a little girl! Get your votes in now!!!
