I am very happy to say that I went online today to see if my grades for the semester had been posted and I did pretty well:
History of NJ: B
Technology and the Young Child: A
Disabled Person in American Society: A-
GPA for semester: 3.567
Cumulative GPA: 3.474
It's not straight A's (sadly I've only had them once in college & never in elementary school) but considering what I have been dealing with over the past semester and year in this new university, I think I did pretty well. I am running short on classes to take before I finally get myself in gear and admitted into the education program. Next semester I am only taking one class, Psychology of Adolecence, on Saturday mornings from 9 am to 11:40 am. I think that with the baby coming it'll be good to keep myself going (if I stop I know it'll be hard to get back into it) but I do not want to take night classes since I'll be breastfeeding and need to be there for her at bedtime. Plus it won't interfere with my daycare plans during the week either.
Though I haven't really made any progress in actually starting my daycare venture, I have purchased a few books from Amazon to get myself organized and have an idea of how to run one. I wish I had decided to take a busiess class or something so that I'll feel a little more comfortable but I think that the books will explain what I can claim as far as taxes, how to make professional contracts, how to handle certain situations, how to assure a healthy environment, & all kinds of other information that will be really useful. Hopefully I'll have my books shortly & I'll be able to start planning & figuring things out.
Today was a busy day for me. I spent nearly all day trying to finish up in the nusery. I started around 10 this morning & didn't come out until nearly 6 pm! I have nearly all of the stripes painted on the room~ actually the base stripes are done, I just need to finish the pinstripes on 4 of the boxes before that's all done. That will be a relief. I can't wait to finish the room. I'm almost 31 weeks already (OMG~ our baby is due in 9 weeks & 3 days!!!) and I want to get it ready in case she decides to come early :)
Speaking of the baby :) I heard a new name that I think I really like~ suprisingly enough I heard it on the finale of "Will & Grace". Kevin & I have been leaning towards Meredith Anne (Anne is mine & my mom's middle name) but now I kinda like Lila (pronounced Lie-la) Anne. Our last name is Bacon (sucky name, I know... and for those of you that don't know my husband is Kevin Bacon) so it's hard to figure something that goes nice with it. I've said Lila about 100,000,000 times since I started to think about it yesterday. It's growing on me... I still like Meredith but I'm not going to say anything definate until I see her little face.
Ok, well I better get to bed. It feels like I should be in alien w/the way the baby is trying to push her way out through my belly button tonight & I am SO tired from working in her room all day! Hope you are all having a nice weekend & I am slowly but surely trying to catch up w/everyone's blogs!
Good Night!

Congratulations on the grades, Kristina. I think you did just fine. Getting all As isn't what it's cracked up to be. :)
I like both the names. I'm sure you'll pick the right one when the time comes! And great job on the room. You're really making progress. :)
You reminded me when you made the comment about the alien thing that I saw a lady on TV last night with sextuplets. They showed her tummy right before she gave birth. Oh. My. Goodness. is all I can say. It was on some entertainment show that Mark had on for background noise (though I have no idea why...he hates those things!).
Congrats on the grades, you worked hard and you deserve them :)
And both baby names are beautiful. Whichever one you choose will be great.

Congrats on the good grades! And almost getting the baby's room done. I hope that the books help with the day care stuff. I love both of the names, but for some reason I'm partial to Meredith. I don't know why, but that's so pretty. They both are!

Okay, I know this is totally stupid and I can't even believe I'm actually asking this......in public. I'm so embarrassed even thinking about it. But the way you talked about your husband, he's not THE Kevin Bacon, right? I mean surely you were using a play on names and the coincidence that your husband has the same name as the movie star, right? And yes, I know full well that you could totally take into consideration how completely naieve I am and just run with the humor in the fact that I even asked such a question and you could totally do that because how would I ever know the difference right? LOL Okay, just asking. :o)
Congrats on the great grades!! I like your name selection and I agree that sometimes you need to see the baby to pick the right name. My boss's wife actually had a baby this morning (7lb 11oz boy) and they went into delivery with 4 choices and were going to pick the one that matched him.
I like Lila. For some goofy reason it reminds me of the Sweet Valley High books. Wasn't one of their friends named Lila? I used to love those books growing up.
I like Meredith too. Both names are names that sound good as both a child and an adult. I look forward to hearing what you guys decide!
Congrats on your grades! you're a smartie! It's so awesome that with the huge amounts of change in your life you were able to kick butt in school. That is so great.
Have a great memorial day weekend!
