Tonight I finished up my lessons that I hoped to complete before the baby comes. \u00a0I knew it was a gamble teaching right up until the day before I am due, but I was pretty sure I could bank on my going up to my due date, if not later! \u00a0I decided to teach every other day for the past 2 weeks (with a few extras thrown in the mix due to every other week students needing more times) and I’m really glad I decided to do that. \u00a0At first I was thinking I should have just taught for these past 2 weeks straight (all 10 days) but after finishing one day, I really needed the next day to recover. \u00a0 Sitting for that long was hard on my body. \u00a0But tonight I finished! \u00a0Every one of my students has had one lesson to get them started in the new school year. \u00a0We did a lot of tedious beginning of the year stuff that I’m so glad we were able to do now instead of waiting until October when I start back up. \u00a0It will be so much easier to jump back in later with all of that stuff already taken care of.<\/p>\n
And now my stress level is so much lower! \u00a0I deleted the emails that I had composed to send out just in case I unexpectedly went into labor early to cancel lessons and threw away the sign that I had printed off in case I had to run out the door. \u00a0PLUS Josiah had his first 2 days of preschool now AND I made it through Chloe’s birthday party and actual birthday. \u00a0I was worried about missing all of those exciting events if I had to be in the hospital.<\/p>\n
So, I just have Chloe’s well-child doctor’s visit tomorrow and then Bakers have another piano lesson on Saturday and from there on out I don’t have anything scheduled for the next 2 weeks. \u00a0The baby can come anytime!<\/p>\n
I had my midwife appointment this morning and there’s nothing new to report. \u00a0I did go ahead and schedule another appointment in a week. \u00a0We agreed that if I didn’t schedule it, I would probably need it, but now that I did, I probably won’t! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
