No major news to report...
I've been cleaning my classroom. It looks so bare. But I am happy to know that I won't have to look through these supplies and reorganize them for a long time. That said, it is sad to think that my time with my 5th graders and dear friends at Manila is coming to an end. This is HUGE. Something you know will happen someday but just seems strange when it does. All you teacher friends understand, I'm sure.
I know I'm on to more wonderful things and am so looking forward to that. I look at my little countdown thing and think it's strange to see only 15 days left. If I have my way, it will be sooner. But, like I've told a lot of people, I'm not sure that Heavenly Father answers prayers with mixed messages... "Please let the baby come now...but, of course, whatever you think is best is good with me..."
For today I just want to hold my little boy and see his little face. I know children are more work out than in, but I still just want him here. I know I'll be tired and frustrated and confused and not quite sure what to do, but I'm ready.
And besides, I'm getting REALLY uncomfortable.

Natalie I am so excited for you to be a mommy! You are going to be such a cool mom. All Gavin's friends are going to want to play at his house because of his awesome mom! And I know you are uncomfortable with just two weeks left...but you are a DARLING pregnant woman! I can't wait to see blog pictures of his cute face!

i totally know how you feel! leaving manila was rough. it is still hard, but being with carter is totally worth it! good luck these last few weeks. they will go by quicker than you thing.
Ohhhhh, been there. Both "theres" in fact. It was SOO wierd to walk away from Manila two years ago. I really did grieve, even though I knew it was time.
And the waiting for baby...so very hard. And I'm here to say that it's not really harder once there out...at least not harder than being 9 months pregnant! You'll do great...good luck hanging in there till the big day! You remember how crabby I was when I was a week overdue!
Is baby's name Gavin, then? Super cute...I guess I missed the announcement!
I can't wait to see his little face too! You need to take a final picture before you head to the hospital or something. You may think you are huge, but it's fun to look back and say, "Oh wow I did look like I was going to birth a whale." At least that's what I say when I look at my pictures. Ha. Love ya.
Hang in there Natalie - the day is fast approaching - I can't wait to hear that great news!
i'm so excited for you nat! yes, it's so much easier to have them in but so nice to see them and cuddle with them! i can't wait to see pictures of your little man. i know he is going to be so handsome! i hope you go soon too!!!
And smell that baby smell...I love that part! I am amazed at the timing--we get sick of being pregnant just before baby is due. Seriously, what a miracle! About leaving Manilla, it is sad, but think of all the scrapbooks to remind you of the fun times. And way to go being cleaned up, organized and ready. I am not surprized, but wish I had been more so.
