32 weeks and counting!

Hellooo!!!! January flew by faster than the speed of light! We have been so busy at the school that I have barely had time to rest, let alone update the blog! But, due to doctor's orders, I have now begun slowing down, delegating my classes and cancelling others, in order to enjoy the last 8 weeks of my pregnancy.

So - 32 weeks and here is the scoop - the little one is already head down - she/he is weighing about 4 pounds 2 ounces. He/she will likely be born weighing somewhere around 7 pounds, just a bit smaller than Juani who weighed 7.8.
He/she is still REALLY active and spends time wedging her/his heels into my left rib cage and tossing and turning from one side to the other. I wonder where he/she gets her antsy pants tendencies?

Juani is now showing a few signs of panic and jealousy at the arrival of the new baby. While he kisses and loves the belly, he has become a bit defiant and has started talking back in an "I'm too big for my own britches" kind of way, and has, at the same time, become extremely emotional, crying for no apparent reason. This, for me, can only be explained by the coming changes.

Claudio is now the star of the Spanish institute (we knew it was just a matter of time) and has caused quite a ruckus between the students, fighting over who will have him next as a teacher and complaining when they must settle for second best. He is thrilled with himself.

Other than that, I am in the state you can probably imagine me to be in - round - but not so much as I would like. I have only gained 11 pounds so far, which, while my doctor says is perfectly fine, feels a little on the thin side.
