Ok....I guess I am not the blogger like I had planned to be! I am really bad at keeping up to date and even taking pictures! I need to get better at that!
The week of the LEMON!
This week has been awesome! It is the first week in awhile that I have NOT gotten sick!! Yay! Last week was awful! Everyday I wanted to curl up in a ball. Luckily, I am working with first graders so they couldn't quite put two and two together. I have a college student in my room helping out and she has been a Godsend! Thank you Katie! I don't know what I would have done without her. I think my sickness each day has been wonderful birth control for her.....well that or the 20 little rug rats we have who don't listen to a word we say! haha : )
With my energy coming back I started back at the gym this week. Finally! I was becoming quite the lazy couch potato! I tried a Yoga class and did my all time favorite....Zumba twice! I am really keeping my fingers crossed that I can and will exercise throughout the entire pregnancy. I do need that extra push though!
Names:
My current obsession are names! It is sooooo incredibly hard choosing the perfect name. I'll like names and Jeff won't. Jeff will like ones that I don't. We'll agree on a name that truly has meaning to our family and then I can't stop thinking about the fact that so and so has the same name! Why that matters and why I care I don't know, but it's so annoying! Then we'll both like a name and then can't seem to pick a middle name that flows. Grrrrr!! We have plenty of time to find the perfect name.
Names of the week NOT for us!
Carlucci - he is a kid in my class who pees his pants every Tuesday and Thursday!
Dick Assman - it's a real name people! Google him!
Mona Lisa - sweetest girl I had in class one year, but really??
Dreams:
My dreams lately have been bananas! Everything has to do with being pregnant! Jeff and I have been debating whether or not to find out the gender of the baby. I feel like I NEED to know because of my personality. I am such a planner and feel like I'll have anxiety not knowing because I'll feel like we can't do anything until he/she arrives! Jeff likes the element of surprise. I say it's a surprise whether we find out at week 18 or 40! I think I win, but if you all know Jeff...you know he doesn't cave! In my dream we had the doctor write the gender in a sealed envelope. We brought the envelope to a local bakery for them to bake a cake to reveal the sex. You've all seen the pictures. When you cut in the cake it's pink for a girl....blue for a boy. Well....we had our entire family over for dinner and when I cut into the cake it was PINK!!! Ohhh......and blue.....and purple.....and green and every other color of the rainbow! WTF!
New addition to my blog.....the daddy section! With each new post I'm going to allow Jeff to write whatever he wants....WITHOUT any editing! I may regret this later, but I think it's fun to get his point of view as well.
Daddy Reflection:
I thought by now I'd be able to look forward to coming home and rubbing a big round tummy. Nope! It still looks the same as it always has. Maybe she needs more lima beans in her diet...hmmm
