We've got #5 coming in June!
We've been trying for sometime for our last one and it finally worked! As you'll notice in my ticker above, I'm almost 18 weeks now. We hope to find out if baby's a boy or girl later this month!
Now that I'm into my 2nd trimester (and upping my iron!) I'm feeling a zillion % better and am back into the swing of things. This past week Olivia started Tot School again and Brianna is back to a mostly full schedule (she's on a slightly lighter load until the end of May for my sake), and Tanya has come back to join us for History, Geography and Science.
In History we are covering 4 of the major wars, 1812, Civil War, WWI and WWII, over the next few months. We're mostly watching videos and reading books. There's some war re-enactments that go on in the summer around here that we hope to attend as well.
Mystery Class starts again at the end of this month! The girls had loads of fun last year and with little help, got 6 of the 10 mystery locations correct. They're both greatly looking forward to it again this year!
For Science, we're taking advantage of my pregnancy and up coming birth. Both girls are interested in fetal development, so we're doing some in depth human biology. I am also planning a home birth and both girls will have the option of being there when the baby is born. Brianna is hugely excited on the prospect of that, Tanya goes from wanting to be there to "ew, gross" lol
In Math and English, Brianna is looking to complete her Gr. 5 curriculum by the end of May, at which time we'll go on "baby break". Because of Brianna's lack of handling long breaks well, I plan to have at least some math and English for her to do each week. Depending on how I feel and baby's personality, we'll start back with regular school in Aug or Sept.
Linking up with Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers for the Weekly Wrap Up!
