Hi,
I spend most of yesterday in my classroom, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I sent my first week copies to be done, I have everything put away, so I just need to spend Wed. doing last minute things, and I should be good to go. Next week is inservice (M-T), so I don't want to be doing classroom stuff during that time.
There was one very rude thing that was said to me yesterday, though
. My teacher friend, who is moving, is really good friends with the asst. principal. My DH was with me last week one day at school, and he met the asst. principal for a few minutes. Now, my DH is not the most talkative man, but he is a good person. Anyway, my friend told me yesterday that the asst. principal asked her what she thought of my DH. My friend claims she told the asst. principal that he is a nice person, and wanted to know why she asked that ?. The asst. principal stated that she thought DH was anti-social. Where does she get off saying those things? And, how rude was it for my so-called friend to tell me that? I just had to vent-I don't like rudeness or when people don't mind their own business.
On a brighter note, my DS, Andy, did so well at school. I was more anxious than he was by far! When I brought him in, the owner/director was there, and she greeted him with a big smile. He saw his toddler teacher, who gave him a huge hug, and he went right into his classroom, where his teacher was waiting to grab him and hug him. He went right to the toys and that was that. He said, "Bye, mom." He went pee 5 times there!!! I am so happy that he made a smooth transition there. He'll go back tomorrow.
Kate-I read this little article from this weekly e-mail I receive from the hospital where the baby will be born. Since you had shortness of breath, I thought you'd enjoy it. Also, it includes info on shaving too.
Catching your breath
You're nearly there now; just a few more weeks and your baby will be in your arms. Is it all moving so fast that you feel out of breath? Actually, your uterus has grown so high now that your lungs have less room to expand. You may be short of breath from time to time until your baby's head moves down into your pelvis just before birth. If you feel short of breath, try moving a little more slowly, so your heart and lungs don't have to work so hard. Sleeping with your head, shoulders, and chest raised up will reduce heartburn and also help you to draw fuller breaths.
That growing uterus is also putting pressure on your bladder, sending you to the bathroom more often. In the last weeks of pregnancy, you may find that the urge to urinate wakes you several times at night. A nap or two during the day or early evening will help you get the rest you need.
No need to shave
If you are in the habit of shaving your pubic hair, or near it, it is recommended that you give it a break at this point until after your baby is born. If a cesarean section is required, or any other procedure that might require hair removal, the removal should be done at that time according to the hospital's policies and procedures. Other hair removal techniques can traumatize the skin and lead to infections.
Until next week, be well.
Today, I plan to hang out at home and clean for the P Chef show tomorrow and play with DS. I have about 6-10 people coming, so I hope I get lots of free stuff like you did, Kate and Melanie. I could really use some new stuff.
I have to catch up on yesterday's posts, so I will be back with more personals.
