Last weekend I was all prepared to do a big blog post on being 28 weeks along and also wanted to take a picture of my growing belly. Sadly, we didn’t get the opportunity to take our picture. After finding out in July about Willow, it took me awhile to work through all of my emotions I had to stop getting the pregnancy email updates and reading the pregnancy books. It made me sad. Over the past month though, I had embraced how special and amazing an opportunity it is to carry a baby. It has been the biggest dream of mine for a very long time. During the last few weeks, I got to enjoy her kicking and sweet little movements. I had friends tell me how cute my growing belly looked. It was nice to be able to have some normal moments.
During the past 6 weeks I have also been blessed by the support of everyone that surrounds me. This has included my amazing team, everyone on staff at the school and my student’s parents. I wanted to share one of my favorite letters. It is from a father in my classroom and it truly touched me.
