Where has this pregnancy gone???

I am nearly 35 weeks pregnant and now going to the doctor each week! I can hardly believe it! I knew this pregnancy would go by much faster than my first, but WOW! I don't think I have really been able to enjoy being pregnant with the busy life I live of being a working mom with a toddler. I remember all the little and exciting things that happen when being pregnant (the first kick and the oh-so-cute hiccups!), but I seem to remember the feeling of exhaustion so much stronger!

Of course, there are still things that I want to get done before the baby comes, but in reality, there is only so much that you really need for the baby at home, and we have all that. At school, I am so not ready! I really need to prioritize my time there and get some stuff in order for when I am out for the rest of the year. I like things done a certain way, so I am not gonna lie...the thought of someone taking over my classroom kinda freaks me out! With that said, I need to do a lot of organizing and planning to make me feel more calm and at ease about it all. With Ethan, I did not miss any school; he was a summer baby. I don't like to think about when I might start having the hard and heavy labor contractions that will eventually lead me to the hospital. I really do not want to be at school when that happens. Some of my dearest friends are there, so I know they will take care of me, but it's not the same as being with Matt. It will be weird being at school one day and not the next.

I absolutely cannot wait to be at home for 4-5 months straight with my precious family. I will have nothing to worry about besides feeding the boys and changing diapers. These will be the days that I will remember forever. I will miss my friends at work, and some of the students, but I am ready for no schedule besides a baby schedule!

Just this week, I have started having cramps and my back will ache at random times. I can definitely tell that baby is getting bigger and that I am getting closer! I cannot wait to meet out new lil one, but I also get sad that it will no longer only be Ethan! But then the more I think about it, Ethan will be so cute with his baby brother and there will surely never be a dull moment around our house!
