Zooey Deschanel is expecting her baby No. 2 with husband Jacob Pechenik

With our 3rd baby due any day now, I thought this was interesting!

Another pregnant celebrity to follow this year is Zooey Deschanel! As confirmed by Us Weekly, The New Girl star and her husband Jacob Pechenik are expecting a second child. This lovely couple wed 18 months ago in a super-secret ceremony in Austin, Texas, on June 2015 and now have beautiful daughter Elsie Otter.

Now I’m excited for the gender reveal! Will it be another baby girl or a baby boy? Well, that we will have to wait for now! Although, we have to remember that Zooey, 36, did mention that she and Jacob waited ‘til the birth of Elsie Otter to find out the gender. Whether they will do that again now or not, is completely for them to know and for us to find out.

Even though there are not much details about the pregnancy yet, I bet the couple are psyched about the whole idea of having a new addition to the family, now on his/her way! I wonder what their 18-month-old Elsie Otter Pechenik would react when she sees her little brother or sister! I think it’s going to be a cute moment!

Zooey should debut her baby bump soon, for now we just have to wait as to when that will be. Congratulations on their growing family!

Help Your Local Schools and Kids who Live in Rural America!

I receive nothing from this post

I know, I know depressing title. But imagine living in a place 3 hours from a city, with no jobs, no good education, no money, more drugs than people...The depression in some rural schools is real. Imagine being 15 and not having internet, a computer, or access to a decent library? Imagine your parents working 2-3 part time job, sometimes hours away from home. This is what it's like where I live. Our schools are literally falling down and we are working for a miracle. A teacher at the school is asking for a very small amount of help. Just three computers. I don't know about you but I have two computers just for my house, some of these kids have none, or are sharing early 1990's computers between a ton of students.

I don't ask for help often, but this school and others need it. I found this wonderful site called www.donorschoose.org for teachers to ask for help. They show you where every penny goes down to shipping or tax. This particular teacher I am supporting teaches Science. She is one of those teachers that has a ton of heart. She cares about her kids, enough to stay in a poor paying job in the middle of nowhere, and trust me she could be working anywhere she wanted to. Please help support her and her kids. I can tell you some of these kids are so intelligent and just don't have any advantages. Please help to bless them in a small way by going to DonorsChoose and donating $5, $10 or anything. It all helps.

Here is a description of what they need the most.

My Students

Most of my students come from very disadvantaged backgrounds, with no Internet connection at home. We have limited technology at our school, as well. Technology upgrades play a vital role in helping my students stay engaged. Our school is located in a rural area with limited opportunity for jobs. No major industries are in our area, which means that our tax base is very low. Our students and staff know each other on a personal basis because of the small size of our student body.

My Project

I am using Chromebooks to utilize the Google Classroom and integrate technology into my science classes. Students are using this technology to incorporate writing assignments in the study of science and to create oral presentations. Students are also using the Chromebooks to access simulations and educational videos to support classroom instruction. Our students are not given the same opportunities to access technology as other school districts in our country. A good education is the greatest equalizer in our society. Without the proper tools, our students are not receiving the same chance for success.

Thank you just for reading this, because change only takes ONE person. Please go HERE if you want to help!
