I LOVE being snapped at...

Yeah right! My principal for some reason loves to snap at me. We are on good terms by all means. But for some reason she finds it easy to turn and snap at me at any given moment during professional meetings. Every few weeks me met as a 1st grade team with the reading coaches. We are a title 1 school (low income, 99% of the kids are on free and reduced lunch) so we have HIGH needs.
So long story short, we are in this meeting and another teacher friend of mine is talking about how bad her students are during independent reading time. I simply look at my other teacher friend right next to me and say quietly, "Gosh I feel like I am so mean to my kids." and right then she snapped yelling (being dramatic) across the room "Ms. A would you like to say something??" totally interrupted the girl who was speaking. I told her exactly what I had said... I was like WTF. I was taken back and couldn't understand the need for her to be so abrasive towards me. And that wasn't it.
She was going on talking about how we are all too hard on ourselves and we need to relax. I wanted to share something so I asked nicely, "Can I say something?" I figured she was done. She comes back with "Yeah, when I am DONE!" in a rude ass tone! I was like wow... could this get any better!
Its annoying as hell because the people who DON'T do their job run around like they own the place and show up 2 hours late with Starbucks in their hand and are told, Oh I understand what you are going though! AHHHHH!
Ok venting is over. I just hope she realizes how much of a BITCH she was to me today!

Had another appointment today

It was a quick one. Went in, nurse took my blood pressure, asked if I had any questions or concerns. I told her about the pain in my tail bone area. She said it had to do with my tilted uterus. And that it will eventually go away. Its not a HORRIBLE pain, more annoying then anything. Then the doctor came in to talk and listen for the heart beat. He had the wand in the middle of my stomach but wasn't hearing anything. I told him how at the u/s last week she had the wand more towards my left. He moved it over a bit and found it right away! It was neat! He said everything looked/sounded great. I go back on the 26th for b/w and at that appointment we will set up a date for the BIG u/s! Can't believe it almost that time! Early April! YAY! lol

Told the kido's at school today

And omg it was too funny! I wasn't planning on telling them today but it was a perfect opportunity and I caught a few staring at my stomach so I thought "Ah what the hell!" I was standing on a chair (yes, #1 no no at school) and I had my cell phone in my back pocket and they all noticed it and were making comments.
I got down off the chair and said "So do you see anything else?" They sat there for a while and pointed out my pink toe nail polish and my shirt logo. And then finally I heard someone say in a real low voice "It looks like she's been eatin too much." I died laughing. I said "What?!" They all were hysterical. Then I heard my one boy say "It looks like you got a baby in yo belly!" and I said "wow Eddie is right!" and they all started saying "You're pregnant?!" I said yep. And then the comments started.
Maria: That means you need to eat healthy food. No chips, no candy!
Alisha: Is it a boy or a girl?
Wade: Ah, man I don't like PG teachers!
Mya: Are you going to have a baby shower? (her step mom just had a baby so she knows all about it)
It was too cute! I was pretty surprised at how they reacted. They were so excited. I explained that next year when they come back and are in 2nd grade I'll be leaving to have the baby.
The rest of the day was a hoot. On the way to music as Amaya was walking out the door past me she poked my stomach and had the biggest smile. Then they were telling other teacher's that were passing by, "My teachers having a baby!" and then I could hear two of them talking.
Rodney: What if she had the baby today, she would have to go to the doctor.... then we would be able to stay home!
Amaya: NOOOO, then we would have a substitute!
I was helping Wade on the computer and his elbow hit my stomach. His reaction was so funny. He said sorry 6 times!
It made my day! My bump is more noticeable. I finally put on the maternity pants and ohhhh they are NICE! lol

maternity pants

I think I need to go through them. The pants I had on today came open after I ate lunch. :/ And they feel so snug its getting hard to breathe. Why am I in denial of the maternity pants?! lol

12 week bloat

There it is! LOL :)
I had a belly to begin with. I can totally tell it's changing though. I always had a lower pooch and now its looks swollen higher up. Does that make sense? I still have that valley around my belly button that with time will fill out! Those PJ pants that I have on are oh so comfortable. I now hate wearing my jeans that I use to LOVE. Things will only keep on changing with time!

Muffin TOP!

I have one! Its not cute. I have a valley going horizontally across my belly right at the belly button. It looks like a freaking muffin top! Its in the perfect spot for my jeans to dig down into. I keep lifting them up and over but they keep sinking back down! Damn fat! I feel silly putting on the maternity pants I already have although they are probably more comfy!
My sister has friends visiting from out of town and they all are going out tonight. I'll be babysitting. DH is a loser and coming with but bringing his own car so he can leave to come when he wants! LOSER babysitter buddy! lol

Wow! NT scan today...

It is amazing how in just a a few weeks the baby has changed so much! This experience was so much better then the last. We had a different tech of course. She turned on the sound so that we could hear the heart beat and said it was perfect at 168. She then went on to do her thing and DH's face was the best! He could see everything as I lay there in anticipation! After a few minutes she asked me to go empty my bladder. I came back in and she tried again. She was pushing on my belly with the u/s wand and getting it to move so she could get a better shot. Finally it was my turn to see... I couldn't believe it. It was so neat! It is most definitely hit me! haha! I asked her if she could tell just by looking at the u/s if a baby had downs or not and she said yeah that its usually pretty clear. She told us a few times during the u/s that everything looked great. That made me feel better even though the results will be more accurate.

Stupid Fears!

I don't know why but I have all these stupid fears. What if this, what if that! I know its all nonsense but they still run through my head! I have an u/s tomorrow for testing for downs. I guess its the NT scan. I just hope it all goes well. I feel like I am starting to get a belly. Its still pretty fatty but then in the back of my head I think I should be "showing" more. Why?! I have no idea! I am not even 12 weeks till Saturday!! lol! Maybe because I knew SO early that I was pregnant! Stupid shit I tell ya! Still wicked tired. Just got up from another nap but feel like I could sleep another hour! I think getting up and peeing 3x a night is what gets to me too. I haven't slept through the night since I found out I was PG. I laugh when I say that b/c its only going to get worse once baby does get here! Oh, how I'll have to adjust!

Well that was strange!

Yesterday I decided to make chili in the crock pot. I cooked the meat, was chopping the onions and then all the sudden felt like total crap. Got really hot and so I sat down for a few minutes. Felt a little bit better got up to finish the chili. I was practically done. Went back into the kitchen and had this over whelming feeling of OMG I am gonna get sick. Ran to the bathroom and sure enough I was right. Then I felt great! Really strange... I don't think it was m/s but who the heck knows. It came out of no where. So far today I feel fine. I'll be thrilled if it never happens again!
I am off today from work for President's Day. And it feels so nice! I am going over to my parents house to go in there spa and relax. They turned the heat off a few days ago so it should be perfect! :)

Back online!

My sticken internet was down and I was seriously having withdraws! lol
I did however get a lot done around the house those days! I think I have a serious web surfing problem.
Happy belated Valentines day! We had a really long day yesterday. We went to a funeral in the morning which was so sad. My FIL's best friend passed away from fighting with cancer for the last 3 years. He was only 59. Afterwards we went to three different baby stores with DH's sister and her hubs. Her due date is June 5th. Her husband is really good at researching products so he knew a ton about which stroller rated best, etc. We left at 11:00 and didn't get home till 9pm. We learned so much but man I felt like I got hit by a bus! We didn't buy anything but pretty much know which stroller and infant car seat we're going to be getting. We checked out gliders as well... whoa those can be expensive! It was a great day but really long. We didn't do any romatic Valentines day activities. DH said he will take me out one day during the week which is wonderful to me because I hate cooking during the week.
Still feel great PG wise. I have an appointment on the 19th for the first part of tests. They call it the suquential test for downs. SIL said don't be surprised if it comes back positive, according to her it happens to a lot of women and then they get an Amneo(sp) and everything turns out fine. Guess I'll have to wait and see. I am excited to see the baby again though. :)
Besides that nothing much new!

Dear Pants,

You are getting tight and I am freaking out! I guess this whole pregnancy never really hit me and now that I am seeing my waste line grow its starting to throw me for a loop! It feels different then just being fat. Fat I know... its my friend! :)
And I am hungry. Again! I am proud of myself for not gaining any weight thus far. But I have a feeling things will be different at my next appointment.

10 weeks

There is my 10 week picture. Not much has changed since the previous picture I posted. I think last time I was 7 weeks. Nothing much new. I realized I can't eat fast food. I had a technology conference all day for school today and had to eat Wendy's... bad idea! But it was the only thing near where we were and considering we had 30 minutes it wasn't an option!

Here is a pic of the things E got me! Thanks again!

My sister brought over a ton of baby stuff today. She needed to make some room in her spare bedroom because they have friends visiting. I haven't even had a chance to look at it all. I know there is a bassinet, pack n play, and all kinds of other things. So that is fun! I get to organize it all and the rest of the acquired stuff in the house tomorrow!!

A few things I HATE!

I hate people on Facebook that ask you to be their friend only so they can see your pictures and know your business! And then you send them a message and they fucking ignore it. So rude!

I hate cooking... and I'm over it right now! Thank goodness DH is working tonight!

I hate parents who think they are right & THINK they know what they are talking about. I wrote a note in one of my students agenda's about how she missed math because she came to school an hour late. Apparently I DON'T need to tell her mother that every time she is late. Um, excuse me? That was the first time I've ever written a note about her being late.

I hate not being paid for tutoring. I've been doing it since Oct and have been paid for 12 out of the 36 hours I've worked. Thank goodness today was the last day!

Okay I'm done! You can thank the hormones! haha :)

THanks E & First OB App

Thank you so much for my gifts! The blanket is super super soft!! I am being super lazy right now and not uploading the pictures! But will soon!
I had my first OB appointment. I sware I need a tape recorder... I forgot almost everything when I walked out! My doctor said something about the u/s and I said "Yeah she didn't tell me anything!" He said "Your pregnant!" and then went on to explain everything was measuring on time. The nurse took tons of blood. And then explained that my next U/S to see the organs would be in April. And they could possibly tell me the sex... what?! Possibly. They effing better! lol
We talked about the testing for downs. Yeah I ended up taking home the paper work I was suppose to give to the girl at the front desk to schedule that. Now DH has to drop it off tomorrow! Geesh! They gave us a goodie bag with prenatal vitamins, a journal, and some information. He tried to hear the HB but couldn't find it. He said it was still too early. He tried for a good 5 minutes. So I go back Feb 26th to hear the HB. He didn't seem concerned about not hearing it. Thats about it. Going to nap!

First OB Appointment Tomorrow

I have no idea what to expect/ask. Suggestions??
Besides that nothing much new. Tired... really tired! Finding it hard to stay late at school. Its all I can do to get out of there! I'm boring this week!! lol
