Time is flying by fast these days. Since we know Collin will be born by c-section on June 2nd, that means we only have 14.5 weeks left before his arrival! That also means there are only 14 weeks left of the school year. Friday was the last day of the 4th 6 weeks. It seems like we JUST got back from Christmas break. Wow!
I've said this before, but I just can't believe that I almost have my first year of teaching under my belt. I have to admit that I feel like I've done a great job. It's been much easier than I anticipated. I remember in college hearing horror stories about the first year of teaching, and I know that many new teachers give up and decide to do something else. However, my first year has been completely opposite. I believe it is because the team of 2nd grade teachers I work with are amazing and take such great care of me. In addition, the principals are great and I work at an awesome school! When I thought about my first year of teaching, I never thought it would be this great. God is so good to me. I could not be more blessed!
And speaking of time flying by... Carson will be THREE years old in just two short weeks. Gosh, it's hard to believe that it has been that long since our precious little boy was born. He continues to grow and change so much every single day. He's so smart, handsome, and funny. I can't imagine life without him. He lights up my life and makes me so incredibly happy. Everyday he does something new that makes me laugh. When I see his sweet face first thing every morning and in the afternoon after work, my heart just overflows with joy and love. I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face as I think of how much he has grown and changed in just a few short years. I am so proud to be his mommy!
Tonight Carson sat in the living room playing cars and I found myself picturing Collin sitting there playing with him a couple of years from now. I am so excited for Carson to have a little brother. I know they are going to be such great friends. Carson asks quite often where "baby brudder" is, and I have to remind him that he's still in Mommy's belly getting ready to meet us. He loves him already!
Collin is moving and kicking a lot. I've started to feel his movements up on the sides of my stomach, whereas up until a couple of weeks ago I could only feel them low in my stomach. He definitely lets me know he's in there! We had another sonogram earlier this week. Collin looked great! We got to see him in 3D and I, of course, got tears in my eyes. In these pictures I think he looks so much like Carson. I wonder everyday what he will look like, what kind of personality he'll have, and if he'll be like Carson or totally different. I can't wait to meet him!
Here are a few pictures and a video of Carson singing his favorite song:
