27 Weeks

We're home!  We flew in from Germany on Thursday, and stayed over in Baltimore for 1 night.  We flew into KC on Friday, and we're staying in Lawrence through the weekend.  Sunday we'll go to Topeka to stay with Zach's dad until we find a house in Manhattan.  Monday is our first day of house hunting with our realtors!

This week baby is 2 lbs, the weight of a head of cauliflower!   He's about 14 in. long.

26 Weeks

26 weeks!  And we will be home before the 27th week!  I've still been feeling good, lots of movement, heartburn, and a little swelling in the feet if I don't sit down for a while.  That will be easier now that I'm not working!  Friday was my last day.  I was sad to leave my kids and my place of employment for the past 4 years, but we are so ready!

We fly out on Thursday and will be in KS Friday afternoon.  We're excited to see family, check into Fort Riley, and get to the house hunting.  We're looking at buying a house, so we're ready to get started.  In the meantime, we'll be staying at Zach's dads house (they have a pool!!!! :) )

We've also got a lot already planned for the summer- housewarming parties, family visits, wedding receptions, showers, and more!  We can't wait to see everyone.

I forgot to get a picture with the shower hostess last week!

Our German friends/family in Frankfurt, Tanja and Klaus (Klaus is my uncle Rainer's cousin).  We'll miss you!

25 Weeks

We have moved out of our house and we're staying in a hotel until we fly out May 10.  It's an apartment, so we've got a kitchen and living room, which makes everything easier.  We are so excited to be coming back!  This week is my last week of work for while--I won't be working next school year!

24 Weeks and Showers!

24 Weeks: 4-21-12

This week my awesome 3rd graders threw me a surprise shower!

My sweet 3rd graders!

Isn't this cute?  One of my crafty parents attached it to baggies of popcorn! :)

All my kids signed this shirt for me! :)

 Then, on Thursday, the teachers are having a school shower for me.  This baby is definitely feeling the love!  Thanks Rachel and all the other teachers who organized this wonderful party!!

Just a FEW of the pics of the wonderful shower.  Thanks to all the teachers and staff who showered baby Greenlee with love and amazing gifts!

Yum, thanks Cleo!

So cute, Jan!

Tiny Chuck Taylor's for Baby!  Zach and baby can match!!

Jan quilted this beautiful blanket!  I can't wait to wrap baby up in it!  

Our movers were here this week, and we'll be in a hotel until we fly home May 10.

Feeling good.  Mostly in maternity wear now, it's so comfy!  Have a few pairs of pants, some leggings, it's pretty easy to mix and match!  I LOVE H&M, and a few of my things are from Old Navy.

23 Weeks

Feeling good, lots of kicking and belly stretching.  This week we are preparing our house to be packed up.  Next week the movers come!  Then we're in a hotel for a few days, then on to KS.

22 Weeks

Feeling good.  Lots of kicking, and I think he's even doing some somersaults in there!  Zach can feel the kicks now if he has his hand on my belly at the right time. :)  This week he's the length of a spaghetti squash and weighs about 1 pound!

This week is spring break, I'm so thankful for the break!  This week I told my kids and families that I won't be staying until the end of the school year.  My last day is May 4, then they'll have a sub for the last month of school (yes, we don't get out until mid-June!)  My kids were sad, one even went home and told her mom she could "never go to school again--Mrs. Greenlee had to leave early!"  I'll miss them. :)

21 Weeks

Getting bigger! Feeling more kicks now, and more heartburn, although I don't think they're related.   All is well otherwise.  Excited to be in KS by mid-May!!
