One whole year....
38 weeks!
The pictures really have nothing to do with the post but I thought you might be interested in just how big I am getting!
Friday was my last day of work and it was easier to let go than I would have thought. Work for me is my life. I love my students, colleagues and school and I feel challenged and pushed to be better every day I walk through the doors. Yet, I was ready to let that part go for the time being. It was a very lovely day but at first I was a bit anxious. The teacher that is taking over my position came by and sat with me all day so that I was able to advise her about my classes. During this process, I realized that I have learned so much over the last two years!
My students were amazing, I received a lot of gifts, cards, kind words and hugs. Even a parent came by to thank me for the influence I have had over her daughter. Many times I wanted to cry but I just didn't. In my last block, the youth worker that helps out in my Communications class had a cake and all of the students signed a card. I'm certain she set it all up of course, but I was really happy with the comments from my students. I held back the tears for most of the day but when I was giving the speech about how proud I was of their accomplishments I did get a little bleary eyed. After Friday I though back to Marita's blog about happiness. I know I love working but also know I am going to love my little bundle more than anything I can imagine at this moment!

I think that it's genetic but my sisters all had stretch marks...so go figure. I've lubbed the belly up every night but I read that there are no creams that actually work.
