Today is officially 27 weeks:
More cute gifts- I received these from the athletic secretary at school today (Chargers in Training):
Tonight's full moon (I couldn't get the details, but it is an awfully nice looking circle.):
Happy Friday to all!

Week 27
Had a check up at the doctor yesterday. Everything still looking good and passed both the sugar and anemia tests. My blood pressure was 120/68 and my fundal measurement was 38 cm. The babies were doing some moving around while the nurse was checking their heart rates: Baby A- 152 and Baby B- 160.

Weeks 25 & 26
Howdy!
Remember me?
Sorry the frequency of blog updates has slowed down. As I told my mom today, school has been insanely, crazy busy so far this semester. I'm teaching a new prep: Algebra 3, which is the equivalent of College Algebra. I describe it as Algebra 2 on steroids. Yet, it's not quite at the Pre-Calc (Math Analysis) level, which has created a nice option for some of our students who aren't going to be engineers, but need/want some more math. This is the first time we've offered this class since I've been at CSH. I'm the only one teaching it and have really enjoyed the opportunity to create a new class, which is something I've never had the chance to do. It's also the first time in 10 years of teaching that I'm making my own plans, quizzes and tests. In the past, I've always worked with a team, which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
I've taken a litte bit of time to work on baby stuff. I put together their baby books using this scrapbooking kit. (If you visit the link, scroll down to see posts describing the kit.)
I ordered airplane fabric (see below) from a fabric seller on Etsy. My mom has agreed to make the crib skirts out of this material. We're going to go with an airplane theme for the nursery. Although, I don't think we'll end up with anything over the top. Probably more of a piecemeal look.

I've also made several visits to Babies R Us to try to figure out what gear we need to get. It's amazing how much time I've spent researching infant baby carriers/ car seats. Yet, somehow I managed to survive being tossed into a laundry basket in the back seat of the car when I was a baby.
Eric just finished up training to switch back to the Airbus. He passed with flying colors (pun intended), which came as no surprise to me. He knows how to buckle down and study before training even starts. The wife of the captain he was training with during this past week sent a surprise gift home with Eric- these cute outfits. (We especially like the little chicks on the feet of the outfit on the left.)
And finally...
Week 25 (Picture taken January 19th):
Week 26 (Picture taken January 27th- Black sure is slimming! Or my camera man was standing farther away.):
Now, time to figure out what I'm teaching tomorrow. Maybe even Friday, if I'm lucky.

Week 25
I don't have an official Week 25 photo yet. However, my photographer is returning from his (last?) DC-9 trip tonight, so I will get that picture tomorrow. Don't worry-I have plenty of other pictures to share.
Here's the Week 24 photo (taken January 8th):
Last night, I had the oportunity to meet my cousin John's new son, Jacob Clarence, who was born on Friday. I think my boys are going to love having a cousin to play with who lives so close-by. Jacob and Jeanie are both doing well.
Finally, a couple of photos from today:
At my latest appointment this past Thursday, I was measuring 35 weeks in size and my blood pressure was still 110/70. I'm going to have one big belly to carry around during the last trimester.

Week 23
By coincidence, I am wearing the same shirt today as a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I would set up a comparison.
December 21st (21 weeks, 3 days):
January 5th (23 weeks, 4 days):
Definitely getting bigger. Yesterday was my first day back to school and my teacher friends said they could see a difference too; that I'm "rounding out".

December Daily 25 - 31
December 25th:
I did a lot of sewing during my first week of break, so I thought taking a picture of my sewing machine would be appropriate. Of course, right after I took this picture, the bobbin case fell apart. I managed to get it put back together again and secured in place. Next, I broke a needle and discovered that I had no replacements in the entire house. Mind you, this was on Christmas Day. The ONE day of the entire year when you can't go shopping. I took that as I sign that I was meant to relax for the rest of the day.
Projects included place mats and napkins for Kelsey and David, a bag for Kelsey's September birthday (which still isn't done!), and a doggie bed for Stooey.
December 26th:
Arrival of the rents- Ma making lefse and Dad surfing the internet.
December 27th:
Ma and I attended a musical performance of Little House on the Prairie. Overall, it was pretty good; we both found it difficult to get used to Melissa Gilbert playing the role of Ma instead of Laura.
I told Ma that she needed one of the "Ma" t-shirts. She pointed out that I would be needing one before too long as well. They were also selling "Half-pint" t-shirts. Tickets were steep enough- we decided we didn't need any souvenirs.
December 28th:
The arrival of David, Kelsey, and Stooey. Lukily, Stooey approves of the doggie bed I sewed for him. In fact, David called this afternoon to report that Stooey slept through the night until they finally woke him up this morning. Must be the bed. (Notice the fabric- it has weenie dogs dressed in colorful sweaters. I was so excited to find this fabric.)
December 29th:
Dad, David, Eric, and I drove up to Cheyenne to visit Grandma Starrs. This may be one of my favorite pictures of the entire month.
December 30th:
The Boy and his Dog.
December 31st:
An abundance of technology- there were six laptops present this week, each of us now owns one.
A few bonus pictures...
We attended the Trail of Lights at the near-by Botanic Gardens on Wednesday night.
Week 22(taken Dec 30th). Eric and I went to the doctor on Thursday for a checkup. My blood pressure was 102/70. Yep, 102! Can you tell I'm on break? The fundal measurent was 30 cm. The nurse found Baby B's pulse rate first: 136 beats per minute. When she moved on to Baby A, he was squirming around so much that the nurse had an awful time trying to hear the pulse and making sure she wasn't hearing Baby B again. She finally detmined that his pulse rate was 152 beats per minute, which was explained by all that squirming.
Friday, January 1st:
Stooey preparing to leave. David and Kelsey said that whenever they start packing up and getting ready to leave, Stooey immediately goes to his travel kennel. He must be worried they're going to forget about him and leave him behind. No one could forget Stooey!
