Blog every day in May- Day 22

Day 22- Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel.

Oh boy, I never get to rant! This should be a change of pace, so I feel like I should preface it by saying, don't take any of this personally. You may think I'm talking about you, but I'm most likely not. 

Okay, time to get my rant on! 
So it really annoys me when people like to tell Zach and I (but mostly they say it to me) when we should or should not have kids. Or when you run into someone in the distant family that you never see and they instantly ask with that look and say, "So when are ya'll thinking about having a baby?" Or "What are ya'll waiting for?"  First of all, when we do have a baby, I can tell you, we want it to be a surprise. I love hoopla and celebration, so don't worry! When we are expecting I will make sure we tell everybody in the most fun and creative way I can think of. (My mama always said I had a flair for the dramatic anyway! ; )

Now, I know people just ask these questions maybe because they
a.) think it's funny to hear my reaction
b.) genuinely care and are interested in Zach and I's plan of procreation. (Aca-awkward!)  
c.) are nosy... Not unlike myself at times! ; )

My point simply is, having a child is something that we discuss extensively and have considered since before we got married.  We love our family and friends, value their opinions, and can't wait for when they will one day love on our babies. However, in our case (and I'm sure in many, many other couples cases) we would love it if people would pray for us and our journey to eventual parenthood... And leave the timing of making babies up to us! (And God!)

I hope you enjoyed my rant! (Even if you laughed the whole way through because you think I'm petty or silly!) 

Have a great night! My last day if school is tomorrow! : ) Can we say "woo-hoo!"

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
