Three Year Old Preschool Graduate

My sweet girl "graduated" from 3 year old preschool a couple weeks ago, and I'm just now getting around to blogging about it. They had a precious end of the year program where they sang a few songs and recited a Bible verse. It was fun to actually be able to sit through the program since I normally have to be on stage with my class. I absolutely love where I work and am so thankful for the ladies I work with!

After the actual program, the kids walk across the stage and are given a Godly trait. These are picked out by the teacher and Elizabeth's trait was "helpfulness." It makes my heart happy that my sweet girl likes to help! Here are a couple pictures of the day. I wasn't able to get a close picture while she was on the stage, but at least I got a few. ;)

19 Weeks with Rebekah Jo!



How far along? 19 weeks!

Baby's size?  Tomato (6 inches, .5 lbs) And since when is a tomato 6 inches long!?

Gender? It's a baby girl! Rebekah Jo!

Maternity clothes? I went and updated my maternity clothes wardrobe this weekend thanks to the San Marcos Outlets. I don't know where my clothes from David's pregnancy went - I thought I saved everything... I can definitely still wear regular t-shirts, dresses, and "comfy" pants/shorts.


Stretch marks? No new ones yet. 

Belly button in or out? In

Sleeping? I've been waking up quite a bit lately. Not always to go to the bathroom, but it's quite frustrating at times - I feel like I can never catch up on my sleep

Foods I'm loving? Anything with beef! Current favorites are burgers, steak, grilled/roasted veggies, and corn on the cob with butter and lemon pepper! Chinese food is also a huge favorite!! Lettuce wraps from Pei Wei are delicious!!!

Foods I'm hating? Nothing really!

Best moment this week? Getting to see family and do a bit of shopping! I even got a few new things for sweet Rebekah's nursery.

Movement? Yes, but nothing consistent

What I'm looking forward to? Starting to decorate our nursery! More consistent movement! The anatomy ultrasound in 1 more weeks!

What I'm missing? Not too much at this point, besides sleeping well. :) That and sunny weather... I'm over the rain by this point!

Symptoms? Frequent potty breaks, exhaustion, food cravings/aversions, still the occasional nausea (although it's almost completely gone...  ::knock on wood::)

Milestones? Inching closer to the halfway point!

Emotions? Pretty good this week!

Best moment this week? Getting to go visit my parents and MeMaw for the weekend! Also, on Friday, a couple of my precious girl students came up to me and asked if "I had a baby in my belly." I am not a big on my belly being touched, but one of them hugged my belly and gave it a kiss, absolutely precious!!

Movement? Yes, but nothing consistent

What I'm looking forward to? Starting to decorate our nursery! I know we've still got a long time, not to mention that once we turn the bedroom into a nursery we'll lose our guest bedroom. I'm glad both kiddos are in big beds now!
