Have had some fun updates lately,and some more coming up this week....I am off this whole week from school!!Woohooo! Christian and I are so lucky to both be in education and have the same time off : ) I kept saying that "I'm waiting until February break to do everything to prepare."...and now here it is!!! Oh boy!!!! So let's see.....
*Was excited when the doorbell rang the other day and I opened it to find our infant car seat and extra base at the door!!! The Schulz women have good taste!! We were sooo excited to open it up and pop it into the stroller! Christian was strolling around the apartment practicing! Seeing that car seat has just made me so giddy about it all! Picturing a tiny body occupying that seat and so happy! (tiny body? at 9lbs!)
*Christian's work threw him a surprise "shower" yesterday at work! So sweet of them!! They really know him so well....along with the wonderful "pack-n-play" and sheets, they got him a case of redbull and a black and white cookie cake!!!!! We had so much fun last night putting it all together and eating the cake : ) Lots of reading directions and confusion with putting it together....which I can envision being second nature once little forie gets here! The other day he also recieved a gift from "The Office" for little forie...how adorable is this!!
*A few teachers came in at the beginning of the week to do demo lessons to replace me....and there are like 4 other preggo spec ed teachers in the district too that need a replacement. I think the students will like who they picked. As one of my kids said, "when is that enthusiastic teacher coming back?"....no need for them to hide their true feelings! It'll be like "mrs forie who?" by june!
*Paiting and sketching to begin this week!!!! This is a biggie!! My dad and mom are coming over Sunday to begin "talks" about the painting and mural. Then beginning the sketching on Monday. He is doing the sky and waves that will be the top border of the room. Not sure if I've told him he's probably doing the coral too!! (If he's reading this...now he knows!!!! wink wink!!!) Jill is coming over Monday too to start planning and show us her wonderful drawings of sea turtles!!! She made me cry with her idea for the mural this week....three turtles representing the new family!! Love it!!!! Want to do some fish on the walls too : ) Thinking that maybe I can "dabble" in some of the fish painting if i don't mess it up! We are so lucky to have such talented people in the family to help us with this : ) Very excited about it all!!!
*Unrelated to baby stuff...did I mention that I had my 22 year St.Brigid's elementary school reunion this past weekend....due to everyones connection on Facebook??? Was nervous to go, but it was so fun! Saw Eileen "Graham", who I haven't seen in forever, so that was the best : )
*Going up to MA this week for Mr.Connor's 2nd birthday!!! Cannot wait to see and hug him!!! He is getting so big and smarter every day!! Now a "bilingual" child...he is able to communicate with people of all cultures : )
*So when I woke up this morning, I figured my active little one was hungry, so I had some cake! Gonna rest a little now and then make some real breakfast for my hubby!Thanks for reading!!! Love to everyone <3

This was an awesome update!!! I can't wait to see the apartment, and all the baby stuff scattered around the place. I can picture it already...so cute :D
Christian's co-workers were right on, huh? Funny shirt and very personal touches...sounds like he's got a good crew there!
Do you pick your replacement? Is the decision entirely up to you? Any front-runners? It's going to be here before you know it!
We can't wait to see you this weekend. Give the belly a big smooch for me (guess Christian will have to do that) and rest up. Connor's excited to see you both and so are we!
XOXO
