Do you homeschool year 'round?

Would you mind sharing your schedule?
With our oldest, he has been working independently but with our youngest two they have basically been"unschooling" the past 2 months.(although they have been still learning...reading, having questions answered, drawing, creative learning,etc.)
If this baby comes on time, I plan to take a month to get used to having a new baby in the house again, bonding, and maybe breastfeeding(which will be new to me). Then I am thinking of beginning our year 'round homeschooling in May.
I am planning to use the Charlotte Mason method so I think this would be a good time to start especially for nature study.If any of you use the Charlotte Mason method, would you share your schedule,too?

stuff

On Monday, I went to the OB doctor and she said everything looks good and I could go into labor anytime. The baby's heartbeat was 127. I only have about 2 weeks until the due date and we are getting very excited.
Our oldest son's job is going well. He already received his first paycheck and opened his first bank account.
Dh took us out to eat today and I ordered a non alcoholic strawberry daquiri. It was so good! I have been craving anything that has to do with fruit these days....and Junior Mints,too.

Easy tasty sandwiches....

for any time of day. I made these for supper on ds's birthday.

Egg and Cheese Biscuits

Bake Grands biscuits. Fry eggs. Split biscuits in half. Top one half with egg. Top with small slice of Colby- Jack cheese. Top with other biscuit half and microwave for 35 seconds. Quick, easy and delicious!

You may enjoy serving these with hash browns and fresh fruit.

Update

~ I went in for my OB appointment the other day. The baby's heartbeat is in the 140's. I found out that my due date has also been moved up about 2 weeks. I also have been having Braxton Hicks contractions for the past week.
~ I have been feeling the nesting instinct and I did do a few things today but I have to take it easy.
~Also, my oldest ds turned 17 yo on Saturday and began his new job today.

Changes Ahead....

I only have about 7 weeks until this baby's due date. I have so much to do to prepare. It has been placed on my heart to do what the Lord will have me to do. I need to clean, organize, spend more time schooling our kids and just plain be prepared for this baby. I really want to strive to be a Proverbs 31 woman but being on the computer too much definitely takes away from that. I want to live my life to the glory of our Lord. I know that the Lord wants me to do this and I know that I need to do this.I may check in here on my blog occasionally, charting my progress.I need to take this time away for the Lord, my family and me.If you would, please keep us in your prayers.

Well, just a few things....

Tuesday night I attended a breastfeeding class and that is bringing me a little closer to the decision to breastfeed.

Last night, some friends from church gave us 6 bags of baby clothes! What a blessing! Today I going through those.

DS, "T" and I both have colds, coughs,and congestion. Please pray that we will get better and our other family members don't get it.
