My Latest Obsession

Since I found out I was pregnant, I have opened up my web browsing world to many new "mommy-to-be" websites including the ever popular babycenter.com and thebump.com  (I'm completely addicted). However, lately I have found myself on a fabulous website that covers any topic about anything in the whole wide world :) Pinterest.com is my latest obsession! I've known about this incredible place for quite some time, but have recently taken my knowledge about pinterest to the next level. I am completely obsessed with all of the amazing recipes, pregnancy photos and craft ideas!!! I am already planning to make some of the yummy holiday treats this year and would love to try and re-create some of the super cute preggo photos! I know that I have only begun to see all that pinterest has to offer, but I'm so excited to see/learn all of the cute things/ideas that I can get from obssesively searching through pinterest :)

All I need to do now is find my super crafty bone so I can start making super cute things for baby Zetrouer, who by the way is the size of a cell phone and continuing to grow by the minute (along with my belly...) I am officially into my second trimester and am patiently waiting for my energy to come back...any day now :) My next apoointment is November 23...the day before Thanksgiving and this is the BIG appointment!!! This is the appointment that we have been waiting for...we'll finally know if it's a boy or a girl!!! Our next appointment is the size, date, and SEX appointment! Yippee! Of course this is assuming that our little turkey is going to be cooperative...we've seen lots of movement at all of our appointments, so I'm hoping that we won't have a sleepy, non-cooperative baby bean on the 23rd :)

We will have so much to be thankful for at our Thanksgiving table this year...and we'll also have a big surprise for our family...pink or blue...

Happy Halloween!!!

Coming Soon!

Big news in the Zetrouer home! We are expecting our first baby in April! We could not be more excited and are looking forward to being parents :) So, obviously this whole experience has been a new one for me and for John. Bless his heart! He's done such a good job overlooking my random rants about...well, just about anything that makes me mad. I do have to say that although my rants have been few and far between, I have definitely noticed a difference in my ability to control my "unhappiness"...John would call it rage, but I look at it as just being unhappy! In addtion, I am constantly exhausted and fall asleep on the couch almost every night; this is after a nap on the couch after work, of course! John has definitely been a good sport during this time, and has never complained about getting me a milkshake or an orange juice every night :) I love him!!!

I will definitely post some ultrasound pics and belly pics very soon...apparently my belly is continuing to grow by the minute! It started last week, I woke up and realized that I actually had a baby pooch! I'm very excited about having a pregnant belly and feeling our baby move and kick all around :) For all of my mommy friends and family, I do realize that I may live to regret those words in a few months, but right now it seems very exciting to me!

Boy or Girl??? Well at this point I don't have a "feeling" about what it is, but John is convinced it's a boy. He's even gone through both of our family trees analyzing the number of girls compared to boys and says it's inevitable that we're having a boy! He's even gone online and read about the heartbeat...slow is a boy and fast is a girl...he has studied every ultrasound picture hoping for an early glimpse of what might be a boy part! Obviously a healthy baby is all we could ask for, but it's so cute to watch John become a daddy :)

Stay tuned!

Welcome Back!

Today began the first day of a new school year (for teachers, anyway) and a new grade level and classroom for me! I found out that I was moving to third grade in June, but it didn't really set in until today! Although I packed my old room and a new teacher moved into it, I think I have denied the fact that I was actually moving to third grade until today! Teaching is my passion, and I have always felt like I belong in Kindergarten. I'm confident that I'll be just fine in third grade, but it's very scary in the beginning! I am lucky to have a wonderful team to work with in third grade, but I will really miss my K-team :( My new team has been very supportive of my change, and they are super helpful with everything that I need...and ALL of the questions I have...Lord knows I always have a million questions!!! On another note, it was so good to see all of my teacher friends that I missed this summer! I really can't believe summer is over...it was just May! Gosh time flies :)

My first official blog...

Okay, so after talking to several of my friends that are frequent bloggers (some with more than one blog) I decided that I wanted to be a part of the world of blogging! So welcome to The Zetrouer Family blog! I'm very excited to finally be a part of the blogging community and I can't wait to share all of the wonderful things in our life with anyone that is interested! 

I hope to learn the tricks of the trade when it comes to blogging :) If you are an avid blogger, I would LOVE to have any pointers or advice you have about blogging!
