First day of school

I've been back in Spain now for the past two weeks and I'm pretty much settled in. I've been looking like crazy for apartments and will probably move within the next two weeks (so I guess I'm not so settled in after all!).

Today I started my first day of school. All the teachers are around my age and really nice. The school is private and is so much more clean and new than my last school. Considering my last school also did not have toilet paper or soap in the kids bathroom (no wonder I got sick all the time) this new school is definitely a step up. Last year was their first year and they're still working on construction. For this year I'll be teaching first graders through sixth graders. I have ten different classes and then the principal wants me to teach some teachers English classes as well.

I continue to get larger every day! Now I can not only feel the baby's kicks, but I can also feel body parts like her head/butt/back pushing against my stomach (can't distinguish which is which). I really like watching the kicks and I don't think Quique ever gets tired of seeing them either. She likes to move and be active when I'm lying down which I guess is good practice for parenthood...the moment I want to relax is the moment she wants to play. I've also gained weight in other places besides my stomach. I guess since I started school I've got to earn it by having "teacher flab"...you know, the back of your arms that flops all around when you're writing on the board. So attractive, and just when I thought waddling wasn't enough...
