Dear Ashley,


How are you doing today?

Yesterday was a tough day, but I was lucky enough to not wake up feeling gross and actually feeling more energetic.  Which I am very grateful for because the first 3 hours of work was TOUGH to put it mildly.  We had a new kiddo start who had a very hard time adjusting to a strange place, new people, new routine, new expectations and doesn't understand what I'm telling him due to communication delays. I tried my best, but 3 other students regressed in their behaviors too and I was worn out by lunch time. I'm glad I didn't get socked in the stomach. Phew.

I was so happy to be home yesterday, parked on the couch, eating whatever the hecka I wanted. Now that my appetite is back to normal (or higher!) and my nausea and heartburn aren't as often or as severe, I can't seem to keep my lil fingers outta all this food. Technically I'm now in the 2nd semester (hooray!) and according to a few websites, Baby Bee is the size of a lemon. About 3.5" and 1.5oz--doubled in weight in the last week. Even though I feel like I'm stuffing my face all the time, I've lost almost 4 lbs total. Guess this means I can eat more ice cream and cinnamon rolls and donuts, right?

Oh the dreams are crazy too. But that's not new. Next appt is on April 19 at 16 weeks when I get to hear the heartbeatbeat, then the next one in May is the BIG! one, the 20 weeker! That's where they do all the anatomy scanning, checking all the parts and look for certain disorders (Spina Bifida, Downs etc.) and GENDER! And we get another picture souvenir.  Think Pink Think Pink Think Pink.

It's officially Spring Break at 3:30 today. I can't wait. I wish you were here. 

How are you lady?

  1. So, what if it's a blue?

    I'm doin okie dokie. Hiding from the heat in my blisteringly cold house on my new pretty white ikea couch dreaming of a washing machine and rolling my hair in hot curlers. It's really weird how domestic that sounds. To counter that, though, were renting a dude comedy and ordering pizza for dinner.:) what's new with you chickiepoo?
