It's a Boy!!

It's a boy!! We went to the doctor on Thursday and got the news Josh had been praying for! I am not mad or sad but every girl wants a little girl and every guy wants a little boy so I guess Josh won this time!

So the actual ultrasound was quite comical. I had just gotten on the table, got the jelly on the belly, and she was trying to adjust the picture on the screen when this picture popped up=)




It is a good thing we wanted to know because he was showing it off!! Everything looks good so far. He is measuring right on target and has everything he needs. The ultrasound was kinda taking a little longer than expected because he wouldn't stay still. He has been like this for every ultrasound so far. So I guess he takes after his mommy, he isn't shy or quiet and is on the move all the time!! He already weighs 10 oz. at 19 weeks. This is a little bigger than all the averages I have been reading. So I am a little nervous that I might have a huge beast of a baby by the time he is born. Both Josh and I were pretty big babies so chances are good our baby will be too. I am pumped though that we can start looking at boy stuff for his room!!




This is a 4-D glimpse of the baby boy! I was a little freaked out because he looks scary. Josh loves it though!


This is another 4-D picture of him!


These are both of his feet!


This one is so awesome! I love it! It makes everything so much more real! I can't feel him yet so the only reminder that I am pregnant is when I look down at the growing belly!

We do not have any names picked out yet before anyone asks! We will be working on this but it is such a hard decision because it is so permanant!

Well, I am off to Tyler's graduation party! Happy Saturday everyone!

It's getting closer!

There is so much going on right now in my life that I am I feeling a little overwhelmed. Most of the stress is due to school. We have 2 full days and 1 half day left this year. It is crazy how fast it has flown by. I was watching a slideshow of our pictures from the class trip and started crying. It will be hard to watch this group of kids graduate and move on to high school. I feel extremely close to them and have had them for the 3 years that I have been at STS and have watched them grow up to be amazing teenagers with a tremendous amount of potential. Anyways, I have so much stuff to do in my classroom to prepare it for summer break and then before you know it, it will be time to put it all back together. I might be piloting another book this year, but at least it is Math. So I will be fine, I will just have my hands full with school and the baby.

Speaking of the baby...I go to the doctor next Thursday, May 28 for my 5 month checkup and for an ultrasound. So we will finally know what the sex of the baby is. I am just hoping for a healthy, happy baby. I would prefer a little girl but would be just as happy with a little boy.

Well, this weekend is full of more graduation parties and Memorial Day parties. Friday night - Halee, Sunday - Lenzie and Ryan, Monday - VanMeter partay! Something even more exciting is happening this week also, my little brother and Tay will be getting married one year from Friday. May 22, 2010 =) We will be reserving some chalets at Burdette for family and friends to stay at after the wedding this week, yay! I already have a babysitter planned for the night, haha! Nothing like being prepared! Robersons mark your calendar so you can be sure to be here too, we can even share the babysitter!!

He or She, Which Will It Be?!?

I had my 4 month check up on Thursday. Everything is going well. The heartbeat was a steady 160. She was having a hard time finding the heartbeat because she said the baby was moving around like crazy. Our child is already a crazy wild one but at least we already know he or she will fit right in with the family. I scheduled my next ultrasound for May 28 and we get to find out the sex of the baby=) It is so hard not knowing. I admire those people who wait and don't find out. I definitely could not!

Last night, we went out to dinner for Mother's Day with my grandma, parents, 2 uncles, Mary, Joe, and the Beckwith girls. It has been pretty exciting getting my first Mother-to-be Day cards. I have received a few but last night I think I got my favorite one. It was from Abigail and Sara and it was a homemade card! It said on the front: "Happy Mother's to be Day!" The inside said: "Girls like to dress in pink. Boys like to dress in blue. Who will Baby Burns look like, Josh or you?"

This weekend will be busy as the last few have been as well. Today, we are throwing Shannon her bridal shower. Then have Andrea and Josh's cookout to go to after that. Tomorrow is Mother's Day and Taylor's college graduation.

The end of the school year is coming to an end, YAY! 9 more whole days and 1 half day=)

Pregnant!

In case you didn't know. I am pregnant! Josh and I will be having a baby in October. My official due date is October 22. We are really excited. It just feels like October is so far away and will never get here. It makes me even more excited to know that our child will have so many friends around the same age, like within 3months of each other. Some of the pregnancies are known like Jessica and others I can't spill the beans on yet because it is too early! It seems like there will be soo many new babies here this year! Since there will be so many exciting things happening to us in the near future, I want to share them with all of you who are near and far. Especially for my aunt Cheri=)

In other news, Josh is working again! He is working at Berry! I am not really sure what his official title is though. All I know is that he troubleshoots the machines when they break down.

I took a personal day today so I have a 3-day weekend! I definitely will need it with all the things I have for school in the next 4 weeks!!

Back again!

So it has been a while! I read other people's blogs but can't ever seem to keep up on mine.

I am a little nervous because one of my 20 students has the FLU. He is the first diagnosed case of this winter for his particular doctor. I do not want the flu. I cannot handle the flu. I have already had a cold, sore throat since Monday, and now no voice. I have my fingers crossed that he didn't spread his germs to me or any other students in my class.

I think I have overcome my fears. I had to give an oral presentation to 20 adults on Thursday about a book I am piloting this year. I thought I would be pretty nervous because it was a group made up of other teachers, prinicpals, and administrators. I can stand in front of students talk to them without a problem all day long. Although, I have always feared and would sweat myself to death when I had to talk in front of a large group of adults. But I wasn't nervous or intimidated at all yesterday. It was great not be a nervous, scared presenter!

Stupid People!

I came to the conclusion that idiots should not ever be allowed to make babies. Something medically should be done to prevent accidents or plans from occurring. I usually have a pretty high tolerance for ignorance but today pushed me over the edge. I think I am going to go and drink a bottle of wine!

Change in the air!

My students are having a real tough time embracing change. It was all school related yesterday with new peanut butter and napkins in the cafeteria and today it is with the presidential election. I wanted to pull my hair out, seriously. But I know that I am scared of change just as much as they are. So it was kinda of hypocritical of me standing up there reassuring them that everything will be fine and change is inevitable. I guess the only thing we can do is embrace change with a positive attitude and wait to see what happens =)
