There hasn't been much happening lately. I'm down to four weeks of student teaching, so that's been keeping me busy. I have been very glad that we're on this timeline. If we'd had a baby back in October, I wouldn't have time to do anything well. As it is, I am keeping up despite my amazing procrastination skills.
We are soooo close to buying a car! The dealership Matt works for hasn't found the right vehicle for us yet, but Darren happened to see an ad in whatever paper always sits at the end of our driveway and eventually gets tossed right in the garbage. The fact that he looked at it this time must be a sign. The ad caught his eye because it said 2007 loaded Grand Caravans for $7,985. It was obviously a misprint - they forgot a 1 in front of it. But we drove one today and loved it. We'll see what kind of a deal we can get. And then we'll try to sell our truck. Anyone want a Ranger 4x4 for winter?
I start pumping tomorrow and I'm hoping that I'll be producing milk for the baby soon. I would love to have some stored and a milk supply ready for our baby in January! I'm excited to see how well my body responds. This is one thing it managed to do right before, so hopefully it will work again.
Some friends of mine who are adopting are at the hospital with their new baby boy who was born Tuesday and his birthmom. I'm hoping and praying that everything goes smoothly!
I forgot to add, Matt didn't make it to the Johnnie game last week, but hopefully we'll have some of the birth family over to our house soon.
