This is a brand new month (in preggo world)...our baby girl is 20 weeks grown...we are HALF way THERE!! For anyone we've missed lately, this baby cantaloupe (that's her size at 20 weeks and I'm just not sure the term "bump" is sufficient any longer) is growing!! :)
The crib came in today and 
I've been working on all the craft projects for the nursery. One of the big ones is finishing up these birdies. They'll be strung on twine across the ceiling in the corner of her bedroom. They are only half finished but I couldn't wait to share.

It's been an exciting/exhausting week. My cousin had her baby and while I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him in person yet, if he's anything like her other two kiddos, he's precious. The idea that he will grow up with my little girl is amazing to me. My sister and I grew up with my three cousins. The five of us were inseperable. My hope is Maverick (who will be about a year and a half old when she's born), Clay (who will be 4 months older) and baby girl will be the best of buds. I'm not sure who will be ornerier...those two boys or this (probably red headed) little girl. Lord knows when they get together, they'll be a mess.
With all the baby fuss, even back in July I couldn't forget Mikey's birthday was on the way. Sure hope he loves what I got him...
We start school tomorrow. I met all my little 3rd grade darlins last night. Let me tell you, I have some precious families in my room. I have a feeling with all that's going on, this is going to be a very special group. A friend on facebook posted this prayer earlier in the week...and tonight...about 12 hours before the 27 of us come together to start meshing as a family...this prayer is on my heart.
Tomorrow starts a brand new chapter for a whole lot of kids. I can't help but think about them a little differently. They are somebody's baby...and it's gotta be hard, no matter the age, to trust that a perfect stranger will treat your baby in a kind, considerate way.
Maybe that should be the way I treat these kids, the way I would want someone to treat Miss Parker someday.
Ok...gotta get some rest. Growing a baby and teaching school is gonna be a whole new ballgame for me. :)
