Alex Sabot: 6/7/09

We have made it to week 17, and it has been a VERY busy couple of weeks. The baby and the belly have grown quite a bit in the last couple of weeks. A couple of days ago, Jake and i felt teeny tiny little kicks. They are so hard to feel right now, but they are there for sure. We can't wait to feel him move more often. :-) It is so amazing.

As for me, I feel pretty awesome. The second trimester had been so much easier. I am a happy girl as long as my days are planned around FOOD! I am so hungry ALL of the time! It is amazing how much food this baby seems to want right now.

Jake has officially finished school for the summer, and I finished up my first year of teaching last Friday. It was such a busy and exciting week. The sixth graders have a tradition to make clay tiles that represent them and then they hang them on the wall in the cafeteria as part of sixth grade graduation. Being the art teacher, I was responsible for helping the 65 sixth graders create and finish their clay tiles before graduation. It was incredibly stressful. I even recruited my parents and Jake for a couple of weekend work days to get ALL of the clay tiles cut for the students. In the end the tiles turned out so well. The principal told me that they are the best clay tiles they have ever put up on the wall. The cool thing is that the tiles will stay there forever, so the students can always come back and see their tile. So last Friday the clay tiles were installed. I then left school early to race over to DU for my own graduation. I Graduated from DU with a Masters in Art Education. This is by far the graduation that I am most proud of. SO many wonderful people came to celebrate the day with me...
