Is it summer yet?!?!?

Only 2 more weeks... and then I am free for 10 weeks!!! I am totally looking forward to it! My house needs so much cleaning and organizing before this baby comes! I am going to go through all of Clara's old clothes to see what we can use for a boy. I have a student that is due with a girl about the same time I am due with Josh, so I am going to give all of my girly stuff to her. I know she needs it. She will only be 16 when her baby is born!

Clara is going to start preschool on Monday. She is very excited. I am hoping she does OK. We have gone to visit, and she didn't want to leave, so I am hoping she will take off running and not look back. She is only going to go 2 days a week, but it will be SO nice when the new baby is here! In the mean time, it gives me a chance to clean out a few closets and keep organizing my classroom!

Well, Clara is getting...

A baby brother!!!
I am so excited!!! Everything looked great-- nice looking spine, strong heartbeat, and a wee-wee! Clara was mesmerized by the ultrasound. She loved looking at pictures of "her baby". She held the ultrasound pictures all the way home!
He measured 20 weeks, 4 days, which is one day behind my due date, but coincides with the date that I think we actually conceived.
His name will be Joshua Spencer Silver. WOO HOO! Now I get to go shopping!

Clara is trying hard to potty train. We worked on it this past weekend. I am not putting pressure on her, just giving her the guidelines and letting her get the hang of it. She seems excited, so we shall see what actually happens!

I have to brag a minute about my fabulous husband. He got me the most BEAUTIFUL ring for mother's day! It is white gold and diamonds and make me smile every time I look at it! He also cooked dinner for his parents and my mom. And he did the dishes! I think I'll keep him!
