7 Weeks

















I went back today for my first OB appointment. I was there for almost three hours, had LOTS of blood taken and got my Swine flu shot. Everything is going good so far. I am still struggling with the morning sickness, but I am going to switch prenatal vitamins to see if it helps. After taking it yesterday I was instantly sick and lets just say I had to change shirts. Not a good day at all :( It was so ironic- I was running out of my classroom to throw up outside and there stood my Principal ready to do a walk through in my room!! REALLY???? So she told me to go and she would watch my class. I tried to hurry through the building to the restroom but I did not make it. I was so embarrassed that they had to come clean up puke out of the hall for a teacher!

She did another sono today and the baby is forming arms and legs. It was amazing how much it has changed in a week. My next appointment is the week of Christmas. I am also making an appointment with a doctor that looks for abnormalities if my insurance covers it. That will be in the next three weeks.

Thank God for Pickles


I know this will sound crazy but I have discovered that pickles actually help my morning sickness. The doctor said avoid acidic foods for morning sickness but Vlassic Kosher Dill pickles seems to be the only thing I have tried that helps. She also told me to avoid water when I feel nauseated because it makes it worse so I am switching to Sprite. Last night I was starving! I made goulash for dinner and by the time I sat down to eat I could not stomach it. Instead I ate two pickles, drank a sprite, and laid on the couch to watch Grey's Anatomy from the past two weeks. I even called David from work to see if he could go buy me some pickles to leave here at school.

A sweet little surprise...

David and I had a sweet little surprise last week. We found out that I was pregnant. We were kind of in shock for the first few days, but it is finally settling in. Today I went to my new doctor and our news was confirmed. I am six weeks along and estimated due date is July 14th. David and my Mom both had a busy delivery schedule today so I assured them I could go by myself and it would be fine. I feel bad now because they did a sono and I got to see the baby and the heartbeat. It was amazing! Poor David was really disappointed that he missed it. She also found a cyst on one of my ovaries, but she said sometimes that happens in the early stages of pregnancy because the ovary has supported the pregnancy or something scientific like that. She did not seem worried and said we would watch it. I go back next Wednesday for what they warned me would be a LONG appointment. She also sent me with a bag full of vitamins and told me to try them out and decide which one I prefer. My OCD husband had to read all of the information and is really concerned about how to choose. His other current concerns are me driving home at night because of how dark and dangerous the roads by our house are (really??), me needing non-slip socks because our tile is slippery, I should not paint my nails, stand on the couch to turn off the fan and the list goes on. It is really sweet but I hope this phase passes because I could see him being a total control freak!

Please keep up with our blog so you can be informed of updates. It seems to be the easiest way to let everyone know what is going on!

A little Halloween Preview


This is one of Jackson's Halloween costumes this year. (Yes he has two- and they were gifts so NO I did not buy them both). This is his squirrel costume.
Apparently he did not like it too much!

The good, the bad & the UGLY

BAD NEWS.....

According the doctor I tested "VERY positive" for the flu.



GOOD NEWS.... 

I am on the end of it so she wants me to treat it with over the counter medicine, lots of liquids, and plenty of rest. Plus I have been wheezing ALOT so I was worried about my lungs/chest but she says it sounds clear.


THE UGLY......

I have to miss another day of school (those who know me know that I am NEVER out) and it just happens to be our first math milestone! 


Off to enjoy some chicken noodle soup, 7-up and a good book. 

STAY WELL!!!



Swine Flu

I am going today to get tested for the flu. I have been feeling bad since Thursday and up until about 2 hours ago I was running a temp of over 100 degrees. I checked my work email to make sure I was not missing anything important and learned that we have a LOT of 5th graders out and 2 with type A flu. I called the doctor back and they said that anyone who tests positive for type A flu is being diagnosed swine flu since that is the strand that they are seeing the most of right now. I feel better this afternoon.  I still have a headache and this horrible crud in my chest that is not moving. That is what worries me so off to the doctor I go....

Men vs. Women

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST 

She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee. 

Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. 

Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week. 

Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. 

And her husband is on the back of the milk carton. 

Keep reading-they get better!!! 


  

WOMEN'S REVENGE 

'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. 

As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. 

'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked... 

'No,' she replied, 'but my husband refused to come shopping with me, 

and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.' 

  

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN 

(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE) 

I know I'm not going to understand women. 

I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, 

pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider. 


CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS 

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles. 

The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. 

He answers that at he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. 

She directs him down the correct aisle. 

A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. 

She says, confused, 'Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife? 

He answers, 'You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store 

to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco 

and some rolling papers; cause it's so-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.. 

So, I figure if I have to roll my own ........... so does she. 

(I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!) 



WIFE VS. HUSBAND 

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. 

An earlier discussion had led to an argument and  neither of them wanted to concede their position. 

As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, 

the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?' 

'Yep,' the wife replied, 'in-laws.' 


WORDS 

A husband read an art article to his wife about how many words women use a day.. 

30,000 to a man's 15,000. 

The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men... 

The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?' 


CREATION 

A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be 

so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time. 

'The wife responded, 'Allow me to explain. 

God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; 

God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you! 

WHO DOES WHAT 

A man and his wife were having an argument about who 

should brew the coffee each morning. 

The wife said, 'You should do it because you get up first, 

and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee. 

The husband said, 'You are in charge of cooking around here and 

you should do it, because that is  your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.' 

Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.' 

Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.' 

So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says . 'HEBREWS' 


The Silent Treatment 

A man and his wife were having some problems at home 

and were giving each other the silent treatment. 

Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him 

at 5:0 0 AM for an early morning business flight. 

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 

'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it. 

The next morning, the man woke up, only y to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, 

when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. 

The paper said, 'It is 5:0 0 AM... Wake up.' 

Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests. 

  


God may have created man before woman, but there is always a  rough draft before the masterpiece.
