 Kinda crazy, huh?  I have already made it to the double digits of this pregnancy.  I guess that is not exactly a "huge" milestone, but it sure feels like it.  That means I'm in the countdown now...

3 Days - Next doctor's appointment

11 Days - Next Ultrasound

11 Days - Second Trimester

116 Days - Third Trimester

207 Days - Due Date!!!

I'm sure there are many other dates that will stand out as important, but right now, these are the BIG ones.  

In what is supposedly 11 days, I will magically feel like a normal human again, without the gagging and general exhaustion.  I'm anxious to see if that really works...the magic second trimester happiness!  

In other pleasantries - school starts in 16 days.  This has it's pluses and minuses all in one bundle of emotions.  We were able to get Big Kid switched within the district to a new school - great news!  I'm so relieved that we won't have to be sending him back to that "hole" of a school he has belonged to for several years!  Hopefully the change of scenery will be a positive encouragement for his success.  I'm not battling how I'm going to get Middle Kid into a preschool setting without going broke.  Using the public More At Four system seems like the way to go but several factors may set us back... 1. I should have enrolled her in May.  2. It is based on need and income, neither of which we really qualify for.  3. Do I really want to start her down the same terrible path that we watched Big Kid suffer through??  No...   So, for now, I'm going to continue pondering how to get her started in her educational endeavors. Wish me luck.  The final nut head, Baby Boy - he's a terrorist in his own sense and will be needing some strict routine and boundaries as the school year begins.  He reminds me so much of my youngest brother!  Trouble everywhere but so darn cute it's hard to correct him!  And his ability to finagle the adults into getting what he wants is uncanny!!  All that is about to come to an end as he is "loosing" his spot as the baby in the family.  Time go grow up Baby Boy...time to throw away the "B" and to loose the Pull-ups.  On to big kid things...

Wish Me Luck!!
