End of another year!

by Cora

You all know by now that my mom has been on bed rest for about 3 months now. This time of year usually means it is the beginning to the end of a school year for her. She usually is really busy at this time getting grades in the computer and making sure that the kids are all doing what they need to do to pass PE. I think it is funny to say that, "PASS PE". Everyone should pass PE right. isn't that one of the easiest classes to pass? Well that is what everyone tells me.

This year it is a little different for my mom since she has missed most of her school year. She teaches 6 - 8 grade girl's PE and is the Head Girl's Basketball Coach. I know it has been hard for Mom to be away from her kids too. She considers them her kids, because she is with them so much and they come and ask her for advice, and are always looking for guidance. That hasn't stopped since she has been home, they email her to check up on her and some of her basketball players have been over to visit. She even gets little notes on tests and other things that they turn in for her to grade. Mom's long term sub stops by very often to give Mom the grades for the week and she always brings over her daughter who is one of the students. So they let the kids know how Mom is doing.

Mom received an email today from a mother of one of her students that made Mom cry, so I know she misses them and they miss her too.

I'd put some pictures in here, but Mom wouldn't let me, because she doesn't have permission from the parents of the students!!!!!

Baby news!!!!

Mom went to the doctor today, and we had to stay in our room for most of the day. Jack and I just aren't used to that anymore. Mom keeps saying that we are going to hate it when she goes back to work. "WELL DON'T GO BACK TO WORK". That's what I have to say about that.



Anyway, Mom said that Renee was not happy with the lady prodding and probing her with the picture thingy. Renee kicked the thing and moved right when she was recording the heart rate which is 145 beats per min. That is good, so Mom says. Renee also weighs 1 pound 10 ounces. She is getting bigger, but I just thought Mom was eating a lot more to fill her tummy up so she felt full. Mom is GETTING BIG! I don't tell her that though. I don't like it when people come over and tell me that I'm getting bigger. I'm 49 for god sakes, you don't tell any woman past the age of 20 that she is getting bigger. That happened to me on Sunday. We went to visit some friends and one lady said "Cora's gotten bigger"! Mom didn't defend me or anything. I actually don't think she knew what to say!



Anyway, the doctor said Mom has to go back in on the 4th of June. The Placenta seems to be moving, but it isn't totally out of the clear yet. She had full previa before and now it is just marginal. The next appointment is the day before Mom's birthday, maybe Dad will take Mom out for a nice lunch. That is if he remembers when her birthday is!!!!! I'll have to remind him and give him subtle hints here and there since she is turning 30 and can't celebrate the way she would like to. Well Maybe I won't remind him, because we will have to be stuck in the room even longer!!! That would suck!
