15 weeks and counting

15 weeks

What a week!   It has been a crazy, busy, great week.  Last weekend, I went to Door County for my college roomates bachelorette party.  It was a great weekend seeing the ladies and catching up and having girl talk.  I was not able to participate in all of the events, but bought some bottles of wine to celebrate for when little baby Helland does arrive.  I have really enjoyed telling everyone about the baby and being able to talk about it and hear everyone’s stories. 

This week is also my last week of summer school. HECK YES. I have the whole month of July off and I can’t wait.   I also had training this week for my new job for next year.  Next year, I am switching from teaching 8^th grade science to teaching 3^rd grade at a different school district.  I am very excited to switch and training has got my mind thinking of all the things I want to do in my new classroom, but not until the end of July.  I am just waiting for a break right now.  This week we also had friends over to our house for a bbq which was very nice.  My husband and I decided that we need to start having people over more often. Nothing much new on the baby end of things.  Patiently waiting to feel the little one.
