<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe that my baby is already a year old!<br />
It was a very busy year and flew by.<br />
<br />
Scarlett still isn't the best sleeper.<br />
We had hoped that once she weaned it would be better, but she still wakes up at least once a night.<br />
The only plus is that Kyle helps if she wakes up in the first half of the night.<br />
So now I at least get some nights where I don't have to wake up.<br />
<br />
She has a wonderful personality and people are always telling us what a happy baby she is.<br />
Scarlett loves people, especially other children.<br />
She thinks her cousins are the best.<br />

Scarlett has been enjoying emptying her toy bins and re-filling them.<br />
She also enjoys emptying all the bookshelves, hers and ours.<br />
And she especially loves taking all the soda cans out of the boxes and putting them into others. <br />
Scarlett also likes her books and her dog that sings. <br />
She is great at entertaining herself and quite content to play with her toys as long as we're nearby. <br />
<br />
Scarlett loves to talk, and while a lot of it is still babbling she does have a few words.<br />
She can say "mama" and "dada".<br />
The second she hears Kyle come in the door she starts saying "dada" and crawling to him.<br />
She can also say "hi" and waves or blows kisses.<br />
Scarlett has loved music from the very beginning and loves to sing.<br />
She sings "ashes, ashes" (Ring Around the Rosie) and "up a-bu da" (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star).<br />

I am so thankful we chose to do Baby Led Weaning with her.<br />
Lately she only wants to eat something if we eat it first. <br />
She loves pancakes, french fries, homemade popsicles, and frosted cheerios.<br />
She gets very upset when she finishes eating something she was enjoying. </div>

<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has been sitting in my draft folder for 6 months...oops!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA6L4qDgeWDL9NODN4-YVE3ZiuoBHoP0DaDvSgPjMsJsMq-r70NxACGgQasalWkFA0j1tGWMQsVpVE-1j0OSr7n411HBD5xHca2hpbnzkVNkKY3DtpdXXI55PWO97zxCwEnARZq6YGcHM/s1600/KGP-27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA6L4qDgeWDL9NODN4-YVE3ZiuoBHoP0DaDvSgPjMsJsMq-r70NxACGgQasalWkFA0j1tGWMQsVpVE-1j0OSr7n411HBD5xHca2hpbnzkVNkKY3DtpdXXI55PWO97zxCwEnARZq6YGcHM/s640/KGP-27.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our lives seem to revolve around Scarlett's sleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the sleep suit because it got her in her crib and rarely waking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, that didn't last long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scarlett started waking up more and more as the weeks went on and nothing would console her except for nursing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She also has gotten much harder to put down, taking almost an hour. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once we finally do get her down she's typically up within 30 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cycle continues all night and if Kyle goes in to sooth her she just gets more upset, so it ends up with me being up most of the night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After many sleepless nights I am exhausted, so our pediatrician told us to try the Ferber Method. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully it works and my baby will be back to sleeping through the night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She continues to grow long and lean. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We just moved her into 9 month pants, since they finally fit her waist! She is also mostly in 9 month onesies although they are a bit long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 month onesies have started getting tight. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She seems to have finally grown out of the tummy issues and rarely needs gripe water now, which I am thankful for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is a ton of fun and is doing something new all the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She rolls everywhere and is beginning to sit up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has also started this new thing where she bobs her head side to side. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She grabs everything and wants it in her mouth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's a big fan of paper and drinks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She babbles dada all day and mama when she wants something, typically to be picked up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other day she looked right at Kyle and said dada so clearly that we both looked at her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her eyes are changing and have lost the blue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are mostly gray now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to see what color her eyes and hair will be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
She began solids the last few days and is fiercely independent.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She does not want you to feed her, she wants to put it in her own mouth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes me glad that we decided to do baby led weaning with her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had potatoes and carrots for her first official meal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was amazed at how she picked it up and put it right in her mouth and started gumming. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has also had pureed apples and puffs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She puts the food in her mouth, makes a face, but continues to eat it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think she's a fan of the texture yet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully we'll have a good eater. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month we celebrated both Halloween and Thanksgiving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Holidays are so much fun to share with her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait till Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Scarlett was sleeping in her Rock N Play because she was waking up and couldn't be consoled in her crib. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, one night she tried to roll out of the Rock N Play and got her top half over the side. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It scared me so bad that we knew we had to get her to stay in the crib. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She hated it and after a week of horrible nights I finally broke down and bought the Magic Merlin Baby Sleep Suit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She may look like the Michelin Man, but she sleeps the whole night in her crib, only waking up once to eat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's still in 6 month clothes, officially the longest she's been in a size. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We always have problems since she's so long and skinny. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her pants are too short already but her waist is too small for the next size up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month Scarlett has learned lots of new tricks like sticking out her tongue and eating her toes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is also able to roll from back to front and front to back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She'll roll over and over until she gets off her mat, then she cries because she can't play with her toys. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She still wants lots of attention and gets upset if she can't see you while she's playing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's also hit the "stranger danger" stage and doesn't like when she's not with me or at daycare. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She gets a huge pout on her face and starts crying if I don't get her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes it hard for family who has come down to visit this month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall she's a very happy baby and we love seeing her personality grow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been back at work for 6 weeks now, which means Scarlett has been in daycare full time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has helped a lot to get her onto a schedule, but now if she's off her schedule she gets super cranky. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scarlett goes down between 6:30 and 7:30 every night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was sleeping until 5:30 or 6, when I woke her up for daycare. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, she's hit the 4 month sleep regression and wakes up at least once or twice during the night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We tried transitioning her to the crib, but she was waking up a ton and couldn't be consoled. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her pediatrician said to just let her stay in her Rock N Play for now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's still in 6 months clothes and despite eating a ton, she's very skinny. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to start supplementing with formula at daycare because eats three bottles while she's there, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
between 6 and 8 oz each. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't keep up pumping and was stressing myself out to the point that I was pumping even less. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I can get her three 6oz bottles and if she's still hungry they give her formula. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She could care less what she's eating or how she's getting it as long as food's getting in her mouth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scarlett has gotten very curious and wants to explore everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves all her toys, but doesn't want to be left alone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So she spends time in her bouncy chair, swing, high chair, and play mat to be near us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has also started rolling. It was very sporadic at first, but yesterday she finally figured it out and rolls every time she's put on her belly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She thinks so many things are funny and we love to make her laugh. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're so looking forward to the holiday season with our little one and can't believe how quickly she changes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This month we finally figured out that a lot of her tummy problems stemmed from constipation.<br />
Her doctor prescribed her 2oz of prune juice a day and she's a different person!<br />
<br />
Scarlett's also gotten herself onto a basic schedule now.<br />
She starts to go down between 7:30 and 8:30 and will sleep 9-10 hours.<br />
Then she eats and goes back down until 7:30 or 8.<br />
She typically eats at 8, 11, and 2. The afternoon doesn't really have a schedule.<br />
She spent a day with Grandma Ria, a day with Daddy, and a day with Nana as I had to go back into work for a few days before school actually started.<br />
She did great and has no problem switching between a bottle and breastfeeding.<br />
Of course that means I've gotten to start pumping at work, which I don't love.<br />
<br />

<br />
She is growing like crazy and switched into size 2 diapers at 10 weeks thanks to all the diaper explosions!<br />
She started wearing 6 month clothes a few days before she hit 3 months. <br />
Her pants had been looking like capri's for awhile, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I was glad when she finally was able to fit the next size!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's also started to teeth and wants everything in her mouth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her favorites include, her blanket, fists, and our fingers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She started daycare when I went back to work on the 17th. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She really seems happy there </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and is always smiling at the workers when I drop her off and pick her up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They can't get her to sleep in a crib there either so right now she's still sleeping in her Rock N Play.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully we can get her to transition soon. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, Scarlett turned 2 months 3 weeks ago and I keep forgetting to post this, but better late than never!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has definitely been calming down a lot more as she's gotten older.<br />
She is still in size 1 diapers and 3 month clothes.<br />
Carters brand fit her long skinny body best. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She smiles and giggles all the time now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She absolutely loves to look at herself in mirrored toys and will spend lots of time smiling and giggling at herself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has started grabbing at toys if they are near her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scarlett is still an amazing eater and eats every 2-3 hours during the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At night she typically sleeps about 6 hours before waking up to eat, then goes back to sleep until 7:30 when Kyle gets her up before leaving for work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're currently bathing her in the kitchen sink and she likes to kick and splash, making it a two person job!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know have to watch her whenever I put her down! She'll scoot herself into a different position. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It scared me so bad when she turned herself in a 90 degree angle on the couch the other day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We moved into our brand new home this past weekend (July 25). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scarlett now has her own room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got a rock n play for her, and have been putting her to sleep in that since it's not as propped as her bouncer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last night she fell asleep in it in her room pretty early and didn't want to wake up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So she officially slept in her own room for the first time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mommy was not ready! I was planning on keeping her with us for at least a week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought new house, new room, and new thing to sleep in would be way too many changes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll have to see how it continues to go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are loving our precious little girl and continue to love seeing her grow and change by the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe how quickly a month has gone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like I just had my baby and yet I've already had to pack away her newborn clothes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scarlett already seems to have so much of a personality. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She definitely lets you know what she wants. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And by lets you know I mean screams until you figure it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's been great at eating from the beginning and continues to do so. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She eats typically every 2-3 hours, but some nights has given us 4-5 hour stretches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From day 1 she was able to hold her head up for brief periods of time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She likes to lay on her her tummy on our stomach and hold her head up to look at us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has started smiling sometimes when Kyle comes home from work and she hears daddy's voice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spend a lot of time walking outside with her in her Moby wrap or carrier. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves being super warm and if she's screaming and we take her outside she'll stop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She doesn't like baths unless her whole body is under the water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having to get out and have lotion put on is the worst. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is not happy with laying on her back and instead sleeps in her bouncer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If she could she'd sleep on one of us constantly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't get enough of her and can't wait to see the changes each day brings.<br />

Scarlett Grace born May 27, 2015</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2:11am, 7 pounds 4 ounces, 20 1/2 inches long </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The doctor had calculated Scarlett's due date as May 25 and said she thought she would be early. So, I was a little bummed when I showed up at my doctor's appointment on the 26th with no baby in sight. I was 2cm dilated so Calvo stripped my membranes. I had talked Kyle into coming with me because his car was in the shop and I wanted him at the appointment just in case. After the appointment, we went over to my mother-in-law's house so we could eat lunch with her and our nieces. No sooner had we sat down to lunch at Flanigan's than I felt a large gush. I went to the bathroom to check and sure enough, my water had broken. We asked them to rush our lunch, ate quickly, and Kyle and I went and picked up his car and our stuff and headed to the hospital. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Right after my water broke On our way to the hospital </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was admitted at 2:30pm and was told my water had definitely ruptured. I got all hooked up and ready. At 7pm the nurse checked and I was only at 3cm dilated, we still had a long way to go. My contractions started getting extremely painful, our nurse said she was impressed because I only seemed to be in pain when they peaked. At 10 pm I was finally able to get an epidural and immediately felt relief. They checked me again and I was 7cm. At midnight, Calvo came in and I was 10cm dilated, but Scarlett's head was still high so they thought it would be awhile still. A little after 1pm I was ready to start pushing, but they had me wait until Calvo showed up. Her head was all the way down, but I had a lot of trouble pushing it out. It took over 30 minutes and was very painful since there was so much pressure from her head sitting right there for so long. Scarlett had pooped right before I started pushing, because there was a risk of her swallowing meconium we really wanted to get her out. I finally was able to push her head out and the rest quickly followed. She came right on the day I had originally calculated. They had to take her right away to get her checked so I didn't get to do skin on skin immediately, which was the only thing I had really wanted. Luckily, she hadn't swallowed anything and everything was fine. I made Kyle go and take pictures of her to show me while I laid there and cried. I was so happy she was here, but sad that I could hear her but not see her or hold her. I had to get stitched up because I had a partial 3rd degree tear so it was a little while before I finally got to hold her. Once they finally handed her to me I got to feed her. She latched right away and is a great eater!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a long, tiring, and extremely painful process. More painful than I
ever would have imagined, but oh so worth it. I still can't believe
that she fit in my stomach. </div>

<br />
<b>Weeks</b>:<br />39<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Weight: </b><br />
36 pounds gained, although recently I lost a few which I thought was odd. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Symptoms:</b><br />
The end of pregnancy is rough. I am so ready for baby girl to be here. At this point I think I have all the symptoms! Achy hips, pregnancy carpal tunnel, lots of swelling in my hands and feet, constantly having to use the bathroom, etc. By far the worst is the pregnancy carpal tunnel. My hands are always slightly numb and hurt to bend. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Stretch Marks/ Body:</b><br />
No stretch marks! Hopefully baby girl will get here before any decide to show up!<br />
Belly button has definitely popped out.<br />
Very few of my maternity clothes fit, why they don't make maternity clothes that last all 9 months is beyond me. <br />
Lots of cramps, Braxton Hicks, and regular contractions, but no baby so far. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Movement:</b><br />
Her movements haven't changed in awhile still very hard on the top and right side of my stomach.<br />
However, she has dropped now so they aren't as high. <br />
She also gets hiccups at least once a day. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cravings:</b><br />
I'm not really craving anything still, I'm kind of ambivalent about food. <br /><b><br /></b>
<b>Aversions:</b><br />
Nothing<br />
<br />
<b>Random Tidbits:</b><br />
I had an amazing baby shower thrown by my MIL and SIL as well as one at work. We were able to get everything we needed for baby girl's arrival. <br /><b><br /></b>
<b>Looking Forward To:</b><br />
Baby girl getting here!!! Please come soon!<br />
Having more clothing options. <br />
Also, doing things that I can't do pregnant. It's so weird how things I don't normally do I really want to since I haven't been able to. I'd really like to sit in a hot tub and have a drink. <br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Weeks</b>:<br />
35<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Weight: </b><br />
31 pounds gained<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Symptoms:</b><br />
Every week seems to bring about a new symptom. For awhile I was waking up to use the bathroom constantly through out the night. Then it switched to horrible hip pain. I couldn't sleep at all because I was tossing and turning from one side to the other because both hips hurt so badly. I would find a really comfy spot and then it wouldn't be comfy again. At 33 weeks I began swelling slightly, but by 34 weeks the swelling was a lot more noticeable and uncomfortable. It really freaked me out since it was only my left side! I also started having carpal tunnel and will wake up with one or both of my hands numb and tingly. The ridiculous heat here sure isn't helping anything! <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Stretch Marks/ Body:</b><br />
No stretch marks still, fingers crossed this continues as long as possible.<br />
My stomach definitely seems to have dropped in the past week and everyone at work keeps noticing that it looks lower by the day.<br />
At 33 weeks I had to take off my wedding band because my rings got stuck and I freaked out.<br />
I was able to wear my engagement ring still, but that only lasted a week. Mid way through week 34 I had to stop wearing that ring as well. I could get it on and off, but when I got hot my finger would start to swell around it and I got really nervous.<br />
My belly button continues to pop out, but it only around the outside. Its still hanging in there!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Movement:</b><br />
Her movements have become a lot harder lately, but she has gotten too big to really kick.<br />
She constantly is pushing on the top of my stomach and on my right side. Kyle enjoys lightly pushing on my stomach until she pushes back on him. He says he feels like he's "fishing" for her.<br />
She also gets hiccups a lot now, probably daily to every other day at least. They are always really low so I'm hoping this means she's head down!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cravings:</b><br />
I don't really have cravings, but if someone suggests something that sounds good to me I have to have it! The other day Kyle suggested going to Flannigans and I couldn't let it go until he took me. <br />
I'm also still craving LaSpadas Roast Beef subs. I told Kyle he's going to need to get one as soon as she's here. <br /><b><br /></b>
<b>Aversions:</b><br />
Nothing<br />
<br />
<b>Random Tidbits:</b><br /> My sister-in-law did our maternity photos at 34 weeks and I love them!<br /><b><br /></b>
<b>Looking Forward To:</b><br />
Baby girl getting here and telling everyone her name! It's killing me not being able to share it, but Kyle is adamant that he wants it to be a surprise until she arrives. <br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Weeks</b>:<br />
28<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Weight: </b><br />
23 pounds gained<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Symptoms:</b><br />
Pretty similar to what I've been having.<br />
The hip pain will be really bad for a few days then gone for a week or two.<br />
It feels a lot better when I'm walking around, so Kyle's been going on short walks with me.<br />
When I lay down a lot of times I feel like I can't breathe, it takes me a minute to feel like I can get a full breath in.<br />
If I don't eat enough I start to feel nauseous again. I'm eating my normal amounts and not extra hungry, so it's hard to make sure I'm getting enough food. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Stretch Marks/ Body:</b><br />
No stretch marks still, fingers crossed this continues as long as possible.<br />
My stomach seems to be getting more ball shaped by the minute and baby girl is starting to stretch out my sides as well.<br />
My belly button is starting to pop out on top and I know it's just a matter of time before its fully popped. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Movement:</b><br />
She continues to kick and move all the time. Her kicks just keep getting harder!<br />
I can now feel a lot of other movements as well. It's so weird to feel her slide across my stomach as she spins and flips.<br />
She likes to dig random body parts into my side, as soon as I push on it she'll immediately retract it.<br />
Baby girl does not like have things invade her space. She spends lots of time kicking the bed, seat belt, and waist band on my jeans. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cravings:</b><br />
Right now my biggest problem is not craving anything. I'm hungry, but nothing sounds good to me. <br /><b><br /></b>
<b>Aversions:</b><br />
Right now I'm pretty much up for anything. <br />
<br />
<b>Random Tidbits:</b><br />
Kyle wall mounted our TV and moved around furniture in the bedroom so we have a corner ready for her. Now we just need to get everything set up. <br /><b><br /></b>
<b>Looking Forward To:</b><br />
Starting to house hunt in the next few weeks. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Weeks</b>:<br />
15-25<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Weight: </b><br />
18 pounds gained<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Symptoms:</b><br />
Hip pain. I am constantly having to switch sides at night due to my hips getting sore.<br />
I've also had some mild heartburn and have gone through a few days of really bad headaches.<br />
My feet swell a bit if I don't take time to sit during the work day. <br />
At 23 weeks I got a pretty bad cold.<br />
I've also been pretty tired due to never getting very deep sleep. I sort of wake up a lot during the night and at least a few times for the bathroom. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Stretch Marks/ Body:</b><br />
No stretch marks yet.<br />
I have been very warm all the time. Everyone always told me you're never hot pregnant, but as someone who is always cold I never believed them. Oh how wrong I was! Kyle's loving it because I keep the house colder. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Movement:</b><br />
On Christmas morning (18 weeks) baby girl kicked for the first time where I knew it was her!<br />
I felt very little movement after that until 20 weeks. Halfway through 20 weeks she started kicking so hard my stomach moves. Now she kicks pretty consistently everyday, mostly when I am laying down. Although as I am typing this she is kicking away. Kyle was able to feel her by 20 weeks. Now if he puts his hand on my stomach and leaves it there for a bit she will kick him. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cravings:</b><br />
All the things I'm not supposed to eat!<br />
I would kill for a Laspadas roast beef sub.<br />
Coffee/coke<br />
Sweets<br />
Fruit <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Aversions:</b><br />
Fast food in general, if Kyle ever suggests going somewhere I always tell him I want "real" food.<br />
<br />
<b>Random Tidbits:</b><br />
I am all belly and loving it. I still can't believe how big my stomach is already.<br />
However, I'm sad nothing fits. I had to officially move into maternity bottoms around 16 weeks. <br />
Now I can only wear maternity clothes. <br />
We officially agreed on her name on New Year's Eve. It was a fun 3rd anniversary idea. However, we won't be sharing until she gets here and have a back up name in case we change our minds. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Looking Forward To:</b><br />
Buying things for baby girl and setting up her area. AKA a corner of our room since we're planning on moving not too long after she's born. <br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I fully meant to keep up with posting pregnancy updates. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I took all the pictures, sat down to do them, and the program I used wouldn't let me make shapes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So I asked Kyle to help me with it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">He got me photoshop, I couldn't figure it out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">He got me on illustrator and walked me through it step by step. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I sat down to do it by myself the next day and couldn't figure it out!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So here I am mid-way through 24 weeks and I finally found a different online program. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The photos may not be exactly what I wanted, but I don't want to forget the details of this precious little one. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Weeks: </b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Well this is covering my first 14 weeks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Weight: </b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">By the end of my first trimester I had gained 5 pounds. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Symptoms: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I was lucky enough to have a fairly easy first trimester. I would get nauseous if I didn't eat something every few hours, but as long as I had some crackers I was typically fine. I did have to start eating a carb-filled breakfast, the only thing I could manage in the morning was a bagel. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Stretch Marks/ Body:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">No stretch marks yet. By 10 weeks I couldn't hide my belly. People at work started asking me if I was pregnant. <b> </b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Movement:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I felt one small flutter at 13 weeks 6 days, but nothing else. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Cravings:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">All I wanted was carbs and pizza. I can't tell you how many bagel bites I went through. We officially made Saturday night our pizza night. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Aversions:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Before I even found out I was pregnant, coffee started making me feel sick. I kept trying to drink it every morning because I love coffee, but without fail I would drink barely half and stop. When I found out I was pregnant a few days later I completely stopped trying to drink it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Lunch meat</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Sweets</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Anything spicy smelling. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Poor Kyle, I couldn't stand packing his lunch for months due to his sandwiches and spicy chips. I would bring him the bag and make him pour them himself. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Random Tidbits:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Kyle and I were both completely convinced that it was a boy. All the old wives tales pointed at boy except for the Chinese gender chart. At 12 weeks, thanks to blood work, we found out we were having a girl. We can't wait to meet her!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">We told our parents and siblings at 7 weeks, Kyle's extended family at 10, and mine we told at 14 weeks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Looking Forward To: </b></span><br />
Once I had my blood drawn I couldn't wait to find out the gender. It wasn't something super important to me, but as soon as someone somewhere knew it was all I could think about.<br />
I also couldn't wait to tell our families. It got really hard to hid and a lot of people started asking me. A part of me wished we had told sooner. <br />

I think it is such an awesome way to be able to look back on our year. </div>

Kyle and I can't believe that it's already been three years.</div>

The time seems to speed up, and I know it'll only get faster with all our changes ahead. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Backing up to September....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kyle celebrated his 27th birthday this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day after his birthday he came home to a pretty special present. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He didn't think anything of it until he opened it and saw what was inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/IMG_2478_zpse2929c7e.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2478_zpse2929c7e.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/IMG_2478_zpse2929c7e.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say, he was a little bit shocked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/b3c97520-913e-415a-a72a-92007090a7d6_zpsd7c3d8bc.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo b3c97520-913e-415a-a72a-92007090a7d6_zpsd7c3d8bc.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/b3c97520-913e-415a-a72a-92007090a7d6_zpsd7c3d8bc.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
It has been the hardest news to keep hidden. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as we got our first ultrasound at 7 weeks we just had to tell!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our parents were all excited. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/877a6990-6359-4393-b673-6e5bd0935e6b_zps98741326.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 877a6990-6359-4393-b673-6e5bd0935e6b_zps98741326.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/877a6990-6359-4393-b673-6e5bd0935e6b_zps98741326.jpg" height="289" width="400" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Thankfully this has been a very smooth pregnancy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No morning sickness here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than being tired, which I also attribute to the 26 kindergarteners in my class, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my symptoms have been mild. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel very lucky. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We waited until October to tell Kyle's extended family and broke the news on Halloween. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We gave everyone treat bags with the sonogram inside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today we are breaking the news to my extended family and youngest brother. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then to everyone. Finally!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can not be more excited and anxiously await the end of May and being able to hold this precious gift in our arms. <br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once Upon a Time season 3 came out on Netflix Friday and I've basically been binge watching it ever since. Since we don't have cable I'm always waiting for my shows to come out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so ready to be at the point where I'm prepared for the week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead, I'm still in the running around trying to get everything done phase. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please oh please get here soon October. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It truly takes that long to get my Kinders into a normal schedule and feel prepared. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always procrastinate going to the grocery store. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's just one of those things I wish I didn't have to do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Three trips: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've never been to Europe and always have wanted to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love cruising, it's so nice and relaxing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so stinking hot here right now all I can think about is Fall and cooler weather!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had every intention of writing about my classroom set up this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, this is one of the only photos I took of my classroom so far. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week was busy. Busier than any year so far. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Including the year I was hired in September and had two days to set up my room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Between moving rooms, being team leader, and having a team of all new to K teachers, I was stressed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not to mention those extra 4 kids I got Friday afternoon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have a whole extra class between us right now, and they can't hire a new teacher for at least a month. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then the copier at work died, and won't be fixed until Monday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All that to say, taking pictures of my room was the absolute last thing on my mind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe I'll remember this week, or maybe those 22 5 years olds will make me forget. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Either way, I leave you with my favorite student quotes from last year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully this new bunch will keep me laughing just as much!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Student 1- (points to picture on my desk) "What are you doing there?"</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Student- "If you keep putting sand in your shirt your momma gonna say take a bath!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me- "Well a lot of them disappeared when I was out."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Student 2- "I think a marker monster must have ate them!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After talking non-stop for 20 minutes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Student- "My aunt says one day I'll learn to keep my mouth shut"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me- "How will you learn that?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Student- "Someone will probably punch me in the mouth for talking too much." </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/BacktoSchoolBanner_zps0c193a81.png.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo BacktoSchoolBanner_zps0c193a81.png" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/BacktoSchoolBanner_zps0c193a81.png" height="192" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today starts my official first day back,and by official I mean paid and have to show up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all know I've been in there almost every day for the last two weeks!<br />
This year is bringing about a ton of changes for me, but I'm really excited.<br />
First I became the K inclusion classroom teacher,<br />
Then I moved rooms,<br />
Next I became team leader. <br />
If that wasn't enough my entire team from the past two years was broken up,<br />
So it's me, 3 new to K teachers, and a para.<br />
Plus those 8 ESE students and 10 "typically developing" students.<br />
Whew, that's a lot.<br />
Of course, leave it to me to decide to change up lots of stuff this year!<br />
It's going to be a major learning and growing experience, but I'm excited for the challenge. <br />
<br />
To start the year off right I made some cute beginning of year gifts.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/giftbags_zpsaa198b3f.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo giftbags_zpsaa198b3f.png" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/giftbags_zpsaa198b3f.png" height="640" width="480" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone on my team is getting one of these today as first day pick me up.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/IMG_2336_zpsc10c2bc9.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2336_zpsc10c2bc9.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/IMG_2336_zpsc10c2bc9.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a>
Everyone got a cute patterned composition book, post-its, sharpie, and highlighter.<br />
Not shown, Dove dark chocolate.<br />
What teacher gift is complete without chocolate? <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/Tag_zps2b6fd96e.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Tag_zps2b6fd96e.png" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/Tag_zps2b6fd96e.png" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />
I love how the gift tag came out. I saw the wording somewhere on pinterest.<br />
<br />
I just started working on my student's gifts for Open House.<br />
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Just-Write-Gift-Tags-1382691" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo justwritegifttag_zpsa808b542.png" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/justwritegifttag_zpsa808b542.png" height="480" width="640" /></a>
</div>
I printed it on bright paper to match my theme. <br />
I'll punch holes on top and bottom and slip a pencil in.<br />

Colorado is always so beautiful and this year was no exception. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was also really nice and cool, a wonderful change from 90 degree South Florida. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of our first days we were able to go to dinner with friends of ours who just moved there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to this really weird burger place, it was great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent the rest of the trip hanging out and hiking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also spent a day in Breckenridge, which was one of the things I wanted to do the most!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/IMG_2260_zps13c10f3d.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2260_zps13c10f3d.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/IMG_2260_zps13c10f3d.jpg" height="480" width="640" /> </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So beautiful!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0000ee;"><u> </u></span><a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/IMG_2237_zpsea02466e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2237_zpsea02466e.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/IMG_2237_zpsea02466e.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a><br />
Our first hike of the trip, the tree house.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/IMG_2240_zps825d648b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2240_zps825d648b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/IMG_2240_zps825d648b.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a>
<br />
Of course I had to
spend time snuggling this cute 5 month old!<br />
Love my niece!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/IMG_2273_zps268bf4ba.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2273_zps268bf4ba.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/IMG_2273_zps268bf4ba.jpg" /></a><br />
One of my favorite nights!<br />
Most people went to a play, but we stayed back.<br />
We spent most of the time playing with this cutie!<br />
He loved popping the bubbles Riley was blowing for him.<br />
I was so impressed with how they sat on the grass!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/Erin_DeYoung/media/IMG_2275_zps8bef0f8b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2275_zps8bef0f8b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd459/Erin_DeYoung/IMG_2275_zps8bef0f8b.jpg" /></a>
<br />
SO much joy!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally made crate seats for my classroom!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been wanting to make them for awhile and just haven't gotten around to it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made 4 of them for my classroom library and love how they turned out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought the crates at Walmart for under $4.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take the crate with you to Home Depot! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The man I worked with was great and kept trimming it till it fit with enough room for my fabric. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I stapled on three sides pulling the fabric pretty tight. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I flipped it over, stuffed it with poly fill, and stapled the last side down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then attached another piece of fabric in a loop for a pull. </div>

I saw the coolest way to make your own chart stand using PVC pipes somewhere online.<br />
I can't for the life of me find it now!<br />

I've been wanting a way to hang my chart paper near my carpet area, but didn't want to spend a ton.<br />
I was able to make this one for under $10.<br />
It fits my largest chart paper.<br />
I purchased two pieces of PVC pipe, two elbow connectors, and 4 T-connectors.<br />
I used two 30" and two 40" pieces for the frame, plus the elbow and two T.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Frame</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I added two 2" pieces from the bottom of the T connectors and four 6" pieces for the stand.<br />
I need to get ends for the legs because it slightly rocks without it. <br />
I used old shower curtain rings to hold the paper.<br />
I'm so excited to use this in my room!<br />

This summer was going by really slowly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, July's almost over, I had to go into work yesterday, and I feel like I'm in crunch mode!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where the heck did July go?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1// Fourth of July</div>

Kyle made this for me and I absolutely love it!<br />
It's our first dance with the lyrics behind us.<br />
I've wanted something like this for awhile, and the free 18x20 print from Shutterfly sealed the deal! <br />

Recently I've started making things for my classroom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used to only use things that I found online instead of taking the effort to make my own. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I can be picky, and want things to look a certain way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After trying to unsuccessfully find something I wanted for my room, I decided to go ahead and make my own. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I'm spending a ton of time this summer making things for my room and I'm absolutely loving it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get to make things that work perfectly for my room and my students. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I've started making my own things I have opened up a store on <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Erin-De-Young" target="_blank">Teachers Pay Teachers</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of the things on there are freebies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite thing so far are these Classroom Job Labels. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A teacher at my school had a poster with all her kids pictures in a circle on her door. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really liked the look of it and decided to make one for my job chart next year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm forever forgetting who has what job and having to walk to my board to find out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This way, I can quickly see their picture and the job will be glued on a clothes pin clipped to their picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Much easier to see from far away!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Click on the picture to download the freebie! </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the jobs I use in my classroom only. If you'd like me to customize the job titles you can purchase that option in my store (<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Chalk-Board-Classroom-Job-Labels-1317115" target="_blank">HERE</a>). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really excited to be working on more great things for my classroom!</div>

I love coffee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's something I drink daily. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Despite the heat of Florida I typically stick with regular coffee for quite awhile. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, as soon as school ends it's time for iced coffee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been using <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/06/perfect-iced-coffee/" target="_blank">The Pioneer Women's</a> recipe for years now and love it! </div>

It's perfect for summer and I love not having to make coffee every morning. </div>

In May, our niece Riley turned 6. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we did what we always do and headed to Orlando for a fun, relaxing weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took off Friday and spent the night hanging out, eating, and relaxing at the hot tub. </div>

We went to take a picture in front of the butterflies and ended up in a promo video to be released next year about the Flower and Garden Exhibit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While we were in Orlando, we spent Saturday night with Kyle's best friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to a video game bar. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was NOT looking forward to it, but it ended up being really cool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The place is filled with all these old arcade games as well as multiple current game systems. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can borrow any of the wide range of games they offer and play as much as you like!</div>

The end of the school year always sneaks up and then rushes by!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been so busy with everything happening recently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only have I been busy with the usual end of the year stuff, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but we had a lot of school activities as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to mention, many changes for me next school year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not only<span id="goog_1744305749"></span><span id="goog_1744305750"></span> be Kindergarten team leader, but I will have the inclusion class. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This means any of the ESE students will come to my room and I will have a full time aid. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm excited for all the changes, but it also means packing and moving classrooms!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With only this week to go I worry it's not going to get done!</div>
