24/25 Weeks & Kindergarten

My twenty four weeks flew by. I mean, I feel like I just posted about being 23 weeks, amd here I am (thru) my 24 weeks, and needing to write about 24 and 25 ! haha!!

This last week has been crazy. Last thursday we met Caitlyns Kindergarten teacher. She is very young, but seems very nice. We were able to explore her classroom, and look around the school a little so she would be comfortable going to the new school.

I worked all weekend, and was in Never Ending Pasta Bowl hell. I hate it ! Its the most annoying thing in the world. 8.95 all you can eat pasta on the weekend - Brings your tips to like 2 $ ! People dont think about how much work that is putting on me - your pregnant server, the kitchen, and other people in the reseraunt. But its ok - I *love* running around for 2 dollars.

Sunday night - We got Caitlyn back from her Mama. Caity and I went over to Stephanie's house for a "surprise" birthday cake time with her. Needless to say She wasnt very happy lol but Its ok because we had to accknowledge her birthday lol! Plus it was TRUE BLOOD NIGHT!!!!

Johnathon started first grade this week. I cannot even imagine that my littlest and tinest brother is in FIRST GRADE. I hate it. It makes me feel so freaking old.

Caitlyn had her testing for Kindergarten and did really well. She has a few things to work on which we will practice with her, but the lady who was talking with us said we have nothing to worry about and she will excell in Kindergarten. The councelor also asked Who was mom...etc Ashley said she was mom, and I explained that I was step mom and again we were praised for being there together and getting along. :) We really do defy those odds LOL!

Monday was my bestest friends birthday and she turned 25!!!!!!!!!!

and it was also Jesse and I's two year wedding anniversary. Where in the world has time gone?!?!

I had a doctors appointment on tuesday. Just routine check up. Baby is doing great and her heart beat was 146. I measured at 25 weeks, and I have finally gained some weight. (BLAH)

Here are some pictures from the week :)

Week 25 (which started today) update:

Your little grower’s physical proportions are pretty much birth-ready and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and a ton of nervous system development.
The good news is: if your child were to be born premature, they’d likely survive without much trauma as their lungs started producing “surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is getting stronger with each passing day.
Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on the back. All that hard work and conscientious living is really getting your child prepared for a healthy delivery.
In mobile-fetus news: your baby should be scootching slowly out of the breech position (head upright, with their butt-n-legs down by your pelvis) and start rotating around for a head-first exit through the birth canal.
If all goes well, and your little womb hi-jacker isn't a contrary one, they'll be locked-n-loaded in the next few weeks!
Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask) — just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human... with one tiny brand-spankin' new family member!

Caitlyn also started Kindergarten today ! It literally breaks my heart in half to see that she is big enough to go to Kindergarten. Is that even possible? I remember this little baby, who could barely walk, and barely talk. She would say "Dora!' and "Hi" and its just amazing to see this young lady now and see the person she is becoming.

She is in AM, so we had to wake up bright and early. Her mom (Ashley) and her Nana (Cathy) came over to help me get her ready for school. Then Jesse came home from work and we all drove there with her. It took everything this pregnant hormonal butt had not to cry like a baby. I teared up a few times definitly - but it wasnt like a water works show.

Today has just been a crazy day all around with her starting school - I just seriously still cannot believe its time for KINDERGARTEN!!!



Here are my 25 week pictures also  :)
