the last week...

Well...I've decided that wierd things take place at the end of being pregnant. For example, I had horrible allergies this past weekend...worse than normal. Then Tuesday at work it was like I hit a brick wall. Not sleepy, but like pure exhaustion...I'd never experienced anything like that. It was definitely strange... Wednesday I woke up and my inner thigh muscles and hips hurt so bad; it felt like I had spent HOURS in the weight room the day before! Those muscles and my hips still hurt something fierce! And then the emotions have been way off the charts this week! Poor Luke...he's so ready for THAT part to be over! I couldn't get iTunes to download on my new computer. I'd been trying different things for several days. Finally after 30 minutes on the phone with Apple, they tell me there is something wrong with either Internet Explorer or the computer (which is less than 1 month since purchase date). I hang up the phone and am so frustrated and mad I just cry. Just sit on the couch and cry. Luke comes home from work and just looks at me like "oh, boy, here we go again...what's wrong this time?" But because he's good to me, he tells me he'll fix it and then takes me to eat Chinese food (which I'm not supposed to have because of my fat feet...). Long story short, computer is now fixed courtesy of Best Buy and Luke after Luke got irritated with it as well. Needless to say, we are both READY for little Mr. Moore to get here!!!!!!!!

renewed faith

Sometimes with my job I forget why I do what I do. Somedays I think that scrubbing toilets or scraping road kill off highways would be a better fit for me. Somedays I wonder why there really isn't a test you have to pass before procreation. And then there are other days that I remember why I teach and coach. Today one of my softball players brought in a baby gift for Leyton. That is an incredibly thoughtful gesture from this 18 year old. Seeing good kids like her that are so thoughtful and you know will grow up to be responsible & productive citizens make me appreciate my opportunity to influence young lives. Here is a picture of the adorable gift she made our little man.

infant CPR

Luke & I went to infant CPR class on Tuesday night. Was sorta creepy because there was only 1 mannequin per group and you had to "unhook" his chest in order to put the plastic bag inside so you could see if you were blowing hard enough. He sort of resembled a doll--like the really hard plastic kind. Anyway, Luke and I were the first due in our group so we got to start. Luke got all nervous as usual when he's in front of people so I went first. CPR went fine and then I moved on to choking. I felt like everyone was thinking wow, this chick would be really good at child abuse when I was pounding the mannequin on the back. I felt like I was knocking him out and the lady said, honey, you're going to have to hit harder than that. Goodness! Anyway, funny story on Luke...he did great on CPR, but when time came for the choking he had his hand on the neck and didn't support the head when he was doing the "5 back slaps." The poor mannequin's head was flopping all over the place. If that was our child, he would have had a broken neck! Luke quickly adjusted and then his face turned red with embarrassment...luckily several others in our group struggled with choking too...so Luke's incident was quickly forgotten about! :)
