Some Good, Some Bad

The good news is that we have 3 weeks left before our c-section. Things are going well with the pregnancy and we're heading down the home stretch. Three weeks from tomorrow, we'll have another baby. I certainly am ready for that to happen. I'm seeing my doctor weekly now. Everything's on target.
The bad news is that there are 3 weeks left to gain weight. I've gained 58 pounds with this one so far. Yikes! Weight Watchers, here I come.

Another piece of good news is that Ryann is almost 2. She'll be 2 on May 16 and she's more fun every day. She's talking more and more and we play games together. She's so cute and loving sometimes. She just melts my heart. She seems to love babies so that might be good for her little sissy.
The bad news is that she's almost 2. Her terrible twos began months ago and are getting more terrible by the day. She loves to say "no" to us all the time. She giggles and runs whenever she's in trouble. Today, I chased her all the way out into the park behind our house. She has no concept of danger and doesn't listen unless she feels like it. Ugh.

The good news at work is that I love my job and am looking forward to going back after I spend a few months at home with my babies. I'm busy getting everything ready for maternity leave and I feel pretty good about the arrangements I've made. My student teacher is planning to take over. I think it'll be great for the kids.
The bad news at work is that I love my job and want to go back next year. My district is making tons of cuts. They've started notifying people of layoffs for next year already. One of my teammates is laid off and we're all sick about it. She's an awesome teacher and great person in general. They say more layoffs could happen next week. Everyone is on edge. Morale is plummeting. I think I'm safe but no one really knows. Times are tough. I hope the state finds a way to fix this. Even if I keep my job, things might get miserable next year with huge classes and no resources. The whole situation justs sucks if you ask me.
