It's Poppin'

Ummmm....holy-moly! I cannot believe how much my belly has grown in the last 3 weeks! Yikes!!!! Bigger belly must mean the end is near! I am supposed to have 8 weeks left - 6 would be alright with me :)

Here are my 32 weeks belly shots:




Definitely getting bigger :)

So, what I thought was our plan for after the baby was born is no longer our plan. Our plans have pretty much completely changed in the matter of one week. Originally, I was going to take 4 weeks off from school, when normally I would be in clinic full time, and then make up the clinic hours I missed during breaks. Well, lucky us, our program decided to add 5(!!!!) classes to our schedule for next semester. So not only would I have clinic time to make up, but I would also have to make up 5 classes. Well, DH and I agreed that, even if it was feasible to do (which I don't really think it would be), it probably wouldn't be worth it to try to stay caught up next semester. So plans were (tentatively) finalized today for my to take a "leave of absence" next semester and go back in May for the Summer semester. This will set be behind a semester but I will most likely still be "graduating" with my class in December 2011. I would just graduate and remain at the school to finish up clinic time and boards and whatever else I needed to get done to complete the program. I am just so relieved that we figured out what we will be doing AND I'll get to stay home with my baby for the first 3+ months of her life! Yippeeeee!!!! We will still need to figure out childcare for when I go back to school in May, but we are so lucky to have my MIL watching our little bean part time :)

I just got the gift for the family the School of Dentistry is supporting this Christmas - I am so excited about it! It is for a 11 year old girl. I got her two outfits, a pink ribbon and pearl necklace and some cute head bands :) I couldn't help but get excited for going shopping for my little one's clothes in the future! I hope she likes what I got her - I think it is SO cute!
