hi everyone! i am attaching a picture that i took of red over the weekend. one of my students cleaned out her toy closet and decided to give red a christmas gift. this stuffed dog is red’s “baby” and he is practicing for brotherhood… it’s hysterical. he takes his “baby” wherever he goes and absolutely LOVES bringing it to bed at night.

in other news…. i am 21 weeks and feeling GREAT!!! i had a wonderful doctor’s appointment today, and i couldn’t feel more blessed right now. our little man is rolling around constantly, making his presence known. it’s so fun to feel him moving around each day. he makes me laugh already with his little tickles and nudges. he is very healthy, all of my measurements are right where they should be… i couldn’t ask for much more (other than for paul to be home of course). my doctor is just perfect. i enjoy her so much, and feel so wonderful with every bit of encouragement that she offers me. i have started to question my doctor about birthing methods, epidurals, etc… and it seems as if with each question i ask, she gives me every single answer that i want to hear. what doctor does that?!?! she is a gem! i seriously want to ask her to be my best friend.

my last day of work is TOMORROW!!!! i’m thrilled. ok, so i’ll miss my students and super duper colleagues, but i’m really ready to enjoy a nice long break with my family and then really embrace “baby mode” when i return to jacksonville in january. this doctor’s appointment that i had today felt like the perfect little send-off for myself and the little man. we’re good, healthy, happy, and ready to head to atlanta!!!

enjoy the pic of red!!! next time i post, it’ll be from atlanta.
