Surprise Shower

Michelle and I
Michelle, Me, and Becky
Last Friday everyone at work threw a potluck party for three of us girls. A double baby shower for Becky (the 2-3 year old teacher) and Me, and a birthday surprise for Michelle. Michelle co-teaches with me in the mornings and is also the administrator of the school...not to mention close family friend! When I asked her if she wouldn't mind me putting her picture on my blog she only wanted to make sure everyone knew she wasn't one of the pregnant ones! It's been really fun being pregnant at the same time as Becky. Her due date is only two weeks after mine and she's having a girl too! Anyways it was so nice of everyone to throw us a party. We had no idea...they are so sneaky!

Murphy

I've blogged about Murphy before...but he is just the cutest thing...he deserves to be blogged about again! Dana brought him over at Sunday dinner last week and we had a blast playing with him. This is him "exercising". Murphy was standing on Adam, and Adam starts to move his leg back and forth. You would think that Murphy (or any dog) would get down really fast....but not Murphy... he was cool with it.

It only took me 8 months...

So I had been looking forward to this moment ever since I found out I was pregnant...The moment when I could could use my nicely rounded tummy as a table to balance ice cream on while watching a little TV. It definately lived up to my expectations!

Catch Phrase

Catch Phrase is a pretty great game. The funniest person to play with is my mom. (She will be mortified when she finds out she's on the blog... she hates being video taped...sorry!) The category is "Food" see is you can guess what mom is trying to explain! good luck! (to turn off the music: scroll down to the picture montage of our Reunion/Wedding and hit the volume symbol next to the pause button on the bottom left corner.)

New News

The last couple of weeks have been really busy for us!
I guess the biggest news is that we moved...not far...just a 1/2 mile. The new apartment is just a little bit bigger and a little closer to ASU, and just all around a little more comfortable. Matt and I are pretty excited about the dishwasher. We had a ceremonial first dish load...It was pretty awesome! I must say though, I did shed some tears when we moved. Handing over the keys was harder than I thought it would be. Our first apartment had so many good memories attached to it!

Secondly, The hermit crab that I just barely blogged about....died. It was horrible. Matt and I found him out of his shell and well...dead... when we went to set up my classroom on Labor day. I had mixed emotions about it. On one hand I just felt awful because I was the one who was suppose to make sure all of his needs were met and I failed despite all my efforts. But on the other hand, it makes me so mad that I put so much effort into making him as comfortable as possible and he STILL died. There is still one that's alive. hopefully that one will make it.

I had my 34 week prenatal appointment and everything is going well. Baby is growing and is healthy. The doctor says that my pregnancy (up to this point) is nothing but "text book". I'm pretty happy with that! Only 5 more weeks come Sunday!
This is a picture of me today...This little girl is a student of mine and everyday she gives the baby a hug just like this. It's too cute! Don't look too close to my classroom. Of course we had to choose the messiest place and time to take the picture....by the counter at the end of the day. I promise it usually doesn't look like that! All of my student's are really excited for the baby to come and say the funniest things when it comes to how big my belly is getting!
