I have successfully completed the first day back to school! It was absolutely crazy with what seemed like less than 5 minutes of down time outside of meetings. I ended up spending the evening tonight working on problems that are used in the Advanced Algebra class that I'm going to start teaching this year for the first time. I was super nervous about that class going into this morning just because it's pretty non-traditional in nature, especially during the first week. After meeting with one of the current teachers today, though, I have a better idea of what to expect and the work I did tonight actually working through the problems I'm going to expect my students to do was very helpful. Tomorrow is another day of meetings and freshman orientation, and then Wednesday is the first real day of school for all students. Ready or not...here they come! :)
In other news today, I also had a doctor's appointment. It looks like everything with me and the baby is looking great. My doctor said I'm on track to gain about 25 pounds total, which is at the lower end of where they wanted me to be, so that's good news. (This is good news to me since I got in trouble for gaining too much weight from weeks 20-25 last time I had an appointment.) Also, my blood pressure is staying low and baby's heartbeat is right where it should be. We got a little tap dance from her today as she decided to kick the monitor while the doctor was listening to her heartbeat. It's still amazing to me that there's a little person growing and getting ready for the world in there. Tony and I are super excited to meet her in a few more months. I start going for appointments every 2 weeks now, so with those happening more frequently and with me being back at school, I have a feeling that baby Dixon will be here before we know it!
