It seems lately as if we work all week and then frantically try to knock a few things off of our to-do list over the weekend. Even though we love some of these things we have to do. I think the crazy pace we've been going will soon catch up with us. Thankfully the end of the school year is right around the corner, hopefully freeing up a lot of our time. This weekend we kept busy with some important tasks:
**We traveled to Marion for Jacob's master's graduation from Indiana Wesleyan. I think it felt a little weird for him to be graduating from a school he had never been to and had completed completely online, but I think he felt a great amount of pride and achievement when they called his name and he walked across the stage. I know I was proud of him! He definitely deserved it!
**I got to spend my Saturday morning at the hospital lab taking the 3-hour glucose tolerance test. When I went to the doctor Wednesday, I took the 1-hour and barely failed, so I decided to get the long version done as quickly as possible. Hopefully these results come back better. It was definitely not how I had planned to spend my entire Saturday morning, but it will all be worth it in the end.
**This afternoon we started work on Baby Shively room. We cleaned everything out, Jacob and his dad taped everything, and we will hopefully begin painting later this afternoon/evening. Hopefully it will turn out like we have envisioned it! Here's a before look:
As for Baby Shively, everything except the glucose checked out perfectly at the doctor this week. He has been moving around a lot, and I am pretty sure he had hiccups a few nights ago. He moves strong enough know that you can see my stomach jump around sometimes. I only gained 1 pound since my last monthly check-up so I was happy about that. I've been really trying to practice a little better portion control. I did find out I have to have get an Rh Negative shot next week, but that should be relatively painless (let's hope!). My next appointment is in three weeks, and then I get to start visiting every two weeks. It seems as if he will be here any day, and there is still so much to do!
I do have a favor to ask: We are trying to line up a good babysitter to begin in January. If you know of anyone in Shelbyville, Morristown, and the general area, please let me know, I am already worried that we won't be able to find anyone. I had planned to contact a lady, close to school, but found out she is going back to work next year, so it's back to the drawing board. Thanks!

Our sitter has openings! She's in my neighborhood, and I really like her. Zach and I can take a walk over your way one afternoon this week to give you one of her cards, if that works for you!
Congratulations once again to Jacob for completing his Masters. What an accomplishment!
I am very excited to see what you have picked out for Baby's room and then watch it come together.
Sorry I can't help with babysitter ideas. But...since you are looking for one to start in January, does that mean you decided to take about 6 months off for maternity leave? I think that will be a great amount of time. Baby should definitely be sleeping through the night by that point, so you should get a good night's rest to go to work the next day :)
Thanks Melissa-We got the card today. We'll definitely have to check it out!
And yes, Rajean, I requested to have the entire semester off using a combination of unpaid leave and my sick days I've saved up. Hopefully the board will get my leave approved and hire my replacement before the end of the school year. I am really looking forward to having so much time with the little guy!
Hey!! I was just curious how your 3 hour went. Do you have any pointers on how a fellow preggers could pass it relatively easily?
As far as your extended maternity leave.. I'm very jealous! Our school board has gotten burned so many times, that they have a strict 6 weeks only policy. Guess who the first one is to get screwed in the deal? Yep.. me!
