I had my doctor's appointment yesterday. I am 12 weeks and due August 7. That is the date that they are sticking with. My baby looks fine. The person who did the ultrasound was not very personable and didn't really tell us anything so i had to ask the doctor all the questions. We have 3 pictures of the baby. in one it is looking down and in another one it looking straight forward and you can see the whole face. It is amazing what they can do with those machines! I have gained 3 pounds in my first trimester. which is very good i was told.
My friend who is due a month before me has bought clothes and has already painted the nursery. I am no were near that point. i really didn't think that i would be there until much later on...but now that i have the pictures of our baby on our fridge i want to pick out the nursery colors and do it all! I was going to wait to see if i was going to have a boy or a girl, but i think i might do a neutral theme. it is just hard thinking of what i want to do. i mean they are going to be in the entry way so it will be something that has to be age appropriate till they are at least 3. that doesn't seem to hard.
Andy is convinced that we have to buy a new house. he has been looking online and driving me nuts! my dad is going to build us baby gates to section off rooms, since buying one to fit our two large openings would cost a lot more money.
i am thinking browns and greens for the nursery or an animal type room. not sure. i go back and forth. i know that i have plenty of time...but the way i work it would be 2 weeks before the baby is born and i am still putting the crib together!

3 days
I am really looking forward to my doctor's appointment on Friday. Being pregnant is a crazy thing. I was talking to Andy about and how i didn't really think that i had any of the mood swings that i always read about. well he told me that i was wrong about that! I did notice today that i was any little thing the kids at school did set me off. I mean a lot of kids do annoy me but i don't comment! Today i was in Mrs. Johnson's room watching her class and there was this student that kept talking and being loud. I told him to be quiet and kept calling his name. I thought maybe it isn't his name because he wouldn't answer so i went up to him and asked his name, he told me and i yelled(i NEVER yell at the kids!) "REALLY?!? I'VE BEEN SAYING YOUR NAME FOR 5 MINUTES! ARE YOU DEAF?!?" can 't believe i did that! i felt bad but he didn't seemed phased by it so i just let it go.
new foods that i can't seem to get enough of lemons, tomatoes, cucumbers, and cereal.
I liked all these foods but i seriously will just eat a plate of lemons SO GOOD!
foods i use to like and don't like now pizza, chicken, cheese, soup.
I am excited to see the doctor because it will be the first time that i will get to hear the baby's heart beat and i will get a picture of it. It doesn't seem real to me yet. i mean i didn't get sick like some people i know and i don't really feel a lot of different things. I guess i read all about the changes that your body goes through and i haven't had any of that to the degree that they all say you will. That always makes me nervous. I keep wondering if my baby is ok. I am sure everything is fine but friday can't come soon enough!
So if i took one more class this semester i would be going full time. I don't know for sure if i have over done it yet. I think i might have just going into the papers that i am going to have to write. next time if i take this many classes and am still working full time i will have to make some of those electives or easier classes.

frustration!
I have had the longest two days of my life it seems like! Everyone tells me that stress is not good for the baby, but what else can you do when your classes start Sat. and you are told on Tuesday that your classes are going to be dropped because you didn't get your loan?!?
I had gone back and forth with RVC's financial aid department to see how i could get money for school this semester. Oh yeah can't get money from the government cause we make to much according to them! So i applied for a student loan. I received all the info saying the i got the loan and i thought everything was fine. WELL, i called yesterday to see if i could use that for my books and what i would need to bring and they looked up my account and said that i didn't get it because i didn't fill out a form. NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE FORM!!
it was 5:30 and they said if i got there before 6 to fill this form out my classes wouldn't be cancelled. I got there with 3 minutes to spare, filled out the paper and left. so today when i called to make sure that my classes were still there they told me that my file didn't get on the desk until this afternoon so it wouldn't be processed today and my classes would be dropped.
i was explaining my situation to the women on the phone and she said that she didn't know what to tell me she "just answers the phone". I told her that that is like someone sitting behind a customer service desk and saying "I don't know how to help, i just sit here".
annoyed and stressed i asked to talk to the director, she wasn't in. i asked to talk to someone who could be of some help and i was transferred to voicemail. so i didn't give up i continued to call until i was talking to the person that i need to. he wasn't really happy to talk to me at first because he had 80 files that he still needed to go through.
I told him that i would not except anything other then getting my loan and my classes and that he needed to make that happen. so after 10 minutes of him telling me "no, there are no exceptions to the order of files", he opened my account and fix it in about 3 minutes. now that didn't seem so hard did it :)
i can breath easy again because i will be starting back to school on saturday. all is well.
This is the first week back to work after break and i am so tired. i can't wait til friday. we are having our winter party then because we had a snow day the day that we were suppose to have it.
*Pregnancy update*
It's amazing to me how fast it seems to be going. I really didn't expect to be having clothes be uncomfortable already, but they are! I do not need to get maternity clothes yet, but i can't wear certain clothes. My friend at work who is a month ahead of me is in maternity clothes. they are so expensive to wear for such a short period of time.
some of my kids at school have made comments to me. The ones that you don't think listen or take in anything are usually the kids who surprise you! i haven't told any of the kids. i don't know if i am going to tell them. mostly because i don't think that they would really care that much :)
We did get the calender choices for next year and i am very happy that we are not starting til Sept. 1. I mean yes, it does suck that we will get out the second week in June, but i am due Aug. 7th and that would give me about 3 weeks before school starts and then i have 6 weeks of maternity leave....that they don't pay for which i think is bogus! but that means i would be going back in october. which would be fine with me :)
10 weeks along and happy :)

pregnant
Who knew there was so much to being pregnant that people never tell you. they kind of skim over most of it and then when you mention things they are like "Oh yeah...". This is basically a blog on how i am dealing with a first time pregnancy.
let's see...it all started when...
My husband Andy and I decided that after we were married a year we would like to try and start having kids. everyone i knew that was trying to have kids or had kids in the past had tried for a year or more to have them. so in my mind i put myself with those people and thought that this would be a long process. boy, was i wrong! it took us 3 months. that's it i couldn't believe it.
We had just gone back to work after thanksgiving break. i started not feeling well early in the day. it just hit me all of the sudden. I decided that i probably just ate to much over the holiday and it would go away. well, it didn't. i was sick at work so i went home and then i stayed home the next day. I had class that night and had to be there so on the way home i bought 5 pregnancy test from the dollar tree. just cause i was there and they were a buck and it would save me a trip later.
I really did not think that i was pregnant. I was only a few days late and i had taken so many tests every month that i decided i wasn't even going to worry about it anymore. so when i got home i said to andy that i was going to take a test. on the box it tells you to take it in the morning but i didn't care at that point. i figured i had 5 of them so why not take one that night and one in the morning. i did all the steps and waited, and waited, and waited. now one pink line shows up to let you know the test worked and if you are pregnant you will see another pink line. and they said even if it is faint it stills means you are.
after the 3 minutes i thought i saw a line but couldn't believe that i saw a line. I called my sister- in-law who was with me when i bought the tests and told her about it. we talked for a while and she told me to let it sit the whole 10 minutes. so i did. i defiantly saw a line. I ran into the living room to show andy and we both just stared at it for a few minutes. finally i told andy to say something and he said "We need a bigger house." He is a man of few words :) I told him it was to early to worry about all those things.
So i went to bed and during the following week i took the rest of the tests just to make sure. it is true i am pregnant :)
after those first few days my sickness wasn't really bad. i have only gotten physically sick once since then. It just kinda sits in your stomach and you think you would feel better if you got sick but you never do. i can deal with that most of the time.
one thing i wasn't ready for was how tired i would be. i mean this is crazy tired were i am up for a few hours and then want to take a nap. over christmas break it was wonderful because i could just nap through out the day. it is going to be a lot harder when i go back to work and school!
Yes, i am working full time and going to school part time. i am taking 10 credit hours this semester so my days are kinda full. I will have thursday and friday at home though which is good. Summer i might only take one class. my due date is august 7. if i took a class this summer the finals would be at the end of july which would put me at 39 weeks. that would be a problem if i went early. but that is far away still and i am just taking this one day at a time.
so i am 9 weeks and 4 days pregnant and everything is wonderful.
