5 months until our due date!

We only have 5 months left until baby M&M's due date of March 18, 2011.  The time has been going quickly and we have less than 3 weeks left until we find out the sex of the baby!  We are very excited to find out and start on the nursery.  We finished construction on our house about a week ago, and have officially moved our "extra" bedroom downstairs, so the baby's room is now empty and ready to be painted.  We are planning on picking out paint in November and painting the room in December. 

School has been going well for me so far this year.  The students still haven't figured out that I'm pregnant, but a couple of parents of previous students know.  I'm prepared to tell the students whenever they ask, but they seem oblivious so far!  I've been feeling good and luckily haven't had much morning sickness at all, so that has been a blessing.  I have been fighting a cold the last couple weeks, and I'm hoping it goes away sooner rather than later.  Having a cold while pregnant is a new experience, with the restricted medication I can take and having to still eat and drink normally for the baby.  Mario has been wonderful about taking care of me though, and I finally feel like I'm on the tail end of the cold. 

Look for updates as our due date gets closer.  We are almost to holiday season, and after that is finished we'll just be a couple months away from baby's arrival.  It will be here before we know it!

  2. I love that you started a blog! I can't wait to look for updates! Three weeks will hopefully go by quickly!!! I am very excited to hear what little baby M&M will wear, pink or blue... or whatever.

    I hope that your cold subsides, as well. It is no fun to be sick AT ALL. I am so thankful that you are not dealing with morning sickness, as well!!!

    I love you!!! Definitely enjoy this time in your life!!! It is all too short, indeed!!!
