It's Been a While!

It seems like it has been ages since I have posted anything. It's not that I have nothing to say, it's that there is just too much going on! I will try to list the highlights.
We went back to re-do Lucy's ultra-sound and she was much more cooperative! We got some great pictures and video, which I hope to post someday.
My friends at work (Joyce, Alyson, and Kary) through me an awesome shower with lots of great gifts, fun games, and delicious cake!
My friend Debra also through me a great shower at my house. I got to see a lot of friends and Lucy got some very cute things.
My sister McKinley and my moms (yes, both of them!) through me a shower in Missouri. I got to see some friends and family I hadn't seen for a very long time so that was very nice.
I hope to post pictures of all of the showers soon, too! (Maybe that will be Brian's job!)
The trip to and from Missouri took it's toll on me and I was on modified bedrest for a week. I gained over 10 lbs. in a few days, all in fluid. So I could still go to work but I had to lay down as soon as I got home. Brian did a great job of making sure I drank my water (and so did all of my friends at work) and he took great care of me, Imma, and everything else! I am really lucky to have a husband who will let me sleep when I need to and one who takes such great care of his little girls.
Imma qualified for PPCD as a child with a speech delay/disorder. This wasn't the easiest process but I think PPCD is the best thing for her and she will make great strides in that program. She will attend 1/2 day starting in the fall. ECI is over and I am very happy about that. I do not feel that she benefited from that program.
I am enjoying my role as principal at summer school but it is definitely the hardest job I have ever had in my life. Being solely responsible for everything that happens on a campus all day is very challenging. And the work doesn't stop when you go home. I do have the most amazing staff and that has been very helpful. And I have had a lot of support from other administrators, friends, and fellow teachers. So that is a good thing. I'm glad I am doing this but I don't think I will be able to breathe again until it is over!
Hopefully, Lucy will stay in for a few more weeks!
And that's what's going on, in a nutshell!
