9 months
The ninth month. The best and worst month of them all. I am so uncomfortable and I can hardly breathe. However, only three weeks to go until I meet this little man. I am very excited and scared at the same time. I am very anxious about seeing Jonah for the first time. I wonder what he is going to look like (hopefully he will take after my handsome husband). I have 2 1/2 weeks left of school before I take my maternity leave. I won't have to go back until August 10th. I would post some pictures of my expansive belly, but I have a rash on my stomach and it looks terrible. Hopefully it will go away before the big event. The nursery is finished. We have everything we need thanks to our family and friends. We are so very thankful to everyone who supports us. I am sure that we will be needing your moral support here soon when we have no idea what we are doing.
Joe is going to take two weeks off when the baby comes, so he has been busy at work. He has been running and biking with Eli every chance he gets (depending on the Indiana weather). He has been practicing his music, and taking some time out to read. I really hope he can continue all of his activities after baby comes. Eli has been to the doggie dermatologist two times now. We believe that it is allergies and not an immune system deficiency. That is the good news, the bad news is that we still don't know what he is allergic to. We are starting with his food. He is on a very strict diet of prescription food and the only treats he can have is marshmallows. He is already showing improvement so cross your fingers that it is only food.
I am really going to miss my kids after I leave to have the baby. I have really enjoyed my class this year. I know the teacher taking over and I am confident that they will be in good hands. I hope I can make it the next two and a half weeks. We will see. I passed that stupid portfolio, and I need to get my permanent license this week some time. That is a load off. I have been reading a lot this spring break. I don't think that I will have a chance for a while. I re-read the last Harry Potter book and the Twilight series. I am going to miss reading whenever I want to. It looks like a storm is coming. I better go and make sure the basement is okay.

The Nursery is Done!
Well, for the most part the nursery is finished. We still have a lot of stuff in the basement that we need to find homes for, and Joe needs to clean out the closet. I thought it turned out really cute. Thanks to all the people out there that sent gifts. Without you guys this would never have happened. Here are some pictures.
Indianapolis Baby Shower
Here are some pictures from our Baby Shower last Saturday. Thanks again to the Hodsons for throwing us one great bash.

Up All Night
So it has begun. I am officially not sleeping well. Tonight is kinda the dogs fault, but mostly I can not get comfortable. I have had numerous people tell me that this is God's way of preparing me for the lack of sleep when the baby comes. One would think that God would want me to be at my best when this baby is born, not sleep deprived and moody. I am also sick and I am staying home from school today. There is some kind of virus going around. I had 6 kids absent on Monday and 3 absent yesterday. I feel yucky, but I don't have the stomach bug yet. I am hoping that if I stay home today I won't get it. I have a doctor's appointment today. I have them every two week right now, and it will change to every week next month. I can't believe that in 7 weeks I will meet this little boy. Joe and I are slowly putting the nursery together. We have a baby shower on Saturday so hopefully we will be able to finish the nursery by Spring Break. I think it looks adorable already. We ordered a toy chest and we are getting some shelves soon. The toy chest and glider are on order and are not supposed to get here until April so hopefully they beat Jonah here. Jonah must be getting big because his movements are beginning to hurt a little bit. I was reading a story the other day to my kids and he moved. It really hurt, it felt like he was tugging on something important in there. I am beginning to think that these last weeks are going to be long ones.
