As the school year starts in 2 weeks I’m definit As the school year starts in 2 weeks I’m definitely going to miss meeting my students on the first day but even more excited to get to spend the next few months bonding with this bebe. #jisforjourney #goodmorning #babyfuri #empanadas #breakfast #maternityleave #summerisalmostover @wildbird #babywearing

I didn’t love the homily at mass this morning be I didn’t love the homily at mass this morning because it fell into the trope of “America always fights for the liberation of others” & “how sad it is that other places deal with oppression & lack of opportunities.” That’s just fundamentally not true and that’s not a political statement. ••• So this afternoon I decided to say a rosary for people who are struggling to see the basic rights of others in this country as worth fighting for. ✊🏿🧕👳🏾‍♂️👶👩‍❤️‍👩☮️ ••• #blacklivesmatter #nativelivesmatter #catholic #catholicmeansuniversal #fightforjustice #jisforjourney #fourthofjuly #wethepeople #humanrights #familiesbelongtogether #americathebeautiful #peoplearepeople #allarewelcomehere #rosary #prayer

It’s been a while since a bump pic. 🤰Mostly b It’s been a while since a bump pic. 🤰Mostly because we’ve been busy with summer PD, kitchen renovation, baby shower, decorating the nursery, & my ever increasing medical annoyances. But HEY 👋 I still physically feel great, moving around even more because of the gestational diabetes (so yay?). And adding more shots 💉to my daily routine. 🤦🏻‍♀️••• Currently 34+ weeks pregnant but since I’m being induced a week early I’m reminding myself there’s only 5 WEEKS left 😱 #jisforjourney #babyfuri #highriskpregnancy #rainbowbaby #gestationaldiabetes #bumpstyle #bumpselfie #34weekspregnant #thirdtrimester

This has been an emotional roller coaster of a wee This has been an emotional roller coaster of a week - really only half a week.🎢 1️⃣ At a routine high-risk appointment I found out I also have gestational diabetes. To say that I was devastated is an understatement. 💉2️⃣ Wednesday we also had our breast-feeding class.🤱3️⃣ On Thursday we started kitchen demolition. 🛠4️⃣ Friday was our fifth wedding anniversary and kitchen installation part 1. 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻5️⃣ Saturday we had a childbirth class and an amazing baby shower. 🤰🌿Family from California and my padrino surprised me! I cried. ••• The only way I’ve made it through is has been with the support and outpouring of love from our family and friends. Too many to name here but thank you all! #highriskpregnancy #rainbowbaby #babyshower #gestationaldiabetes #blessed #grateful #vaccinefamilies #anniversary #diapercake #thirdtrimester #jisforjourney #babyfuri

Trying to understand my legal workplace rights & m Trying to understand my legal workplace rights & maternity leave has been a NIGHTMARE. Crazy for an industry that is mostly women too. No one should have to chase down 5 different departments to get different pieces of the puzzle which still make no sense when I attempt to put them together. 🤬🤯🤰🤱‼️ Not looking for special exceptions, just looking to do the best thing by my family & come back to work as a full employee (aka not the 6 week zombie so many are pressured into). ••• #jisforjourney #fmla #maternityleave #supportfamilies #pregnancy #30weekspregnant #highschoolteacher #pregnantteacherlife #pregnancyunfiltered #babyfuri
UPDATE!!! The mayor responded to my email & is sen UPDATE!!! The mayor responded to my email & is sending this to the public works office to get it removed! ‼️SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING. I saw this swastika on my way home from work yesterday in Oviedo. Rather than shake my head & drive in by I took a photo & contacted the city to have this removed ASAP. ••• Don’t be silent! #antisemitism #stophate #jisforjourney #speakup #stopantisemitism #seesomethingsaysomething

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!!! 🖤❤️🖤❤️ Two sweet surprises from @lmhsrams & a thoughtful family! 👩🏻‍🏫📝👩🏻‍💻••• As we enter teacher appreciation week be mindful that thousands of teachers in Florida will also be told they’re not being rehired. In many cases, not because they didn’t anything wrong, but because our state budgeting system is broken. It’ll look like a student/budget shortfall, they’ll let the last hires go & come September schools will have to beg for teachers again. It creates a terrible cycle of low teacher morale, a shallow pool of quality applicants, & inconsistent education for students. As you thank teachers this next week keep that in mind thst some of them have to show up the whole next month, put on a happy face to their students knowing they’re out of a job (& insurance) come June. ••• #teachersofinstagram #publicschoolteacher #teacherlife #teachersfollowteachers #teacherappreciationweek #teacherfamily #fixpublicschools #floridateachers #jisforjourney #stopteacherguilt
