A Race to the Finish

10 1/2 weeks.

That's the amount of time I have before my due date.  All of my babies were late except for Charlotte who decided to come 3 weeks early and totally mess up my "routine."  I was thrilled to have her early, but also shocked and not exactly prepared.  In fact, I had to send a dear friend to Target with a list while I was still in the hospital because I didn't even have some of the necessities yet.

So, I have 10 1/2 weeks, more or less, to be ready for this blessed event.  I am so excited to meet my tiny little man.  I am so excited to dress him in the cute little orange and blue things I've been collecting and the things I've been knitting for him.  I am so excited that I get to experience having a baby BOY again after all these years of girl babies.  I am so excited to wear him in my sleepy wrap and keep him to myself.   


But in the midst of all of that excitement, I'm feeling a bit of stress too.  I have 10 1/2 weeks to complete 9 1/2 weeks of our Tapestry of Grace curriculum.  I REALLY want to finish it before baby comes so I can feel right taking a true BREAK from teaching.  The kids will still have work to do each day that they can mostly do without my help, but our bulky, wonderful, intense school days will be done.  But in that time our house will be ready (2-3 weeks from now) so we'll have to take some time off from school to move.  I want to be NESTING.... not UN-NESTING!!
