Thanks Maude!!!

Maude!! Thanks so much! :)

9 weeks & counting

9 weeks and counting. These weeks seem to be going by slower and slower! I feel much more bloated this week. Still not feeling PG but I guess I should count myself as lucky! I have my first OB appointment on Wednesday. I hope I get to hear the heartbeat or something. I hope its just not a Q&A session. Nothing else new going on with baby at this point. Still trying to get all the maternity clothes washed and sorted. I have more maternity clothes now then regular clothes... kinda sad!
In other news, I was asked by my principal on Friday if I would take a student from another 1st grade class. Which annoys the piss outta me. Because this so called teacher can't handle him and has no structure in her room I get the little shit who bugs the hell out of her! Hmm. so annoying! Its like why should I have to pay for her lack of discipline and routine in her room. Its 100 days into the school year and she sends kids out of her room like crazy. Maybe they should consider getting rid of her! AHH! But of course I said yes with a smile. I CAN'T say no. Even though I'd like to give her my 2 cents on the whole situation! In all honesty this kid isn't that bad. I've had him in my room before when she(the other teacher) decided not to show for work and we had to split her room up into all our rooms. And I made it a point to tell my principal that he'd been in my room before and I told him "I don't know what you guys do down there but its not gonna fly in here!" and he was fine for me! So maybe that was my tiny way to tell her that the other teacher is a slacker! lol
On another note, my sisters found a lawyer that is willing to help them with the whole surrogacy. They are probably going to have to fly to Kentucky for the procedure. I was scared for a while that it might not happen. The states that they live in have laws that ban or don't allow it the way they have to do it. Not sure why. So this guy seems to have the answers they need! Which is totally exciting! :)

Feeling better!

Its about damn time! I can NOT cough for more then 20-30 minutes! Wow!! Nothing else new. Someone said Congrats to me on Facebook... not sure if I should announce it on there or what. Hmm...

Week 8 & sick as a dog!

Your baby is growing like mad, putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Though you can't feel it yet, baby is moving those little arms, legs and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy.

So I've felt like total crap the last week. Its not even funny! It started out as a cough, then turned into a uncontrollable cough. So bad I called my doctor and they gave me Tylenol with codeine in it just to sleep at night. He said it was okay to use but only if I HAD to. Now today the cough isn't bad but when I do a green mess comes up too! I'd love to be able to stay home tomorrow but I know if I do now then that's one less day I'll have with baby A once it gets here. Our friends were in town this weekend. I wasn't very good at entertaining since I was in bed a lot. But they aren't those kind of guests.

Besides that, I don't really feel PG right now. I guess being so sick its kinda taken over! I hope it goes away soon. This sucks! :(

First pics!

There it is! The baby itself is the image to the left and the other circle I was told was the yolk sac. I showed people at work today and some of the comments were too funny. A little old Hispanic women who translates for us was the best. She says "Ohhh that's what happens when you go to bed with no panties on at night!" in her Spanish accent. I about died! Well I must go sort through the 12... yes 12 big bags of maternity clothes my girlfriend gave me! They are piled in my closet!

We saw the heart beat!!

I had my first u/s appointment and it went well. I guess it went well... she didn't say much! She did a vaginal u/s and as I was lying there she told me I have a tilted uterus which was news to me! She messed around on the machine for a while and hit a bunch of buttons and then turned the screen to my view and showed me the baby and zoomed in a bit so you could see the heart beat. Next to the baby is a circle and DH asked her what it was and she said it is a yolk sac which is feeding the baby right now and it will turn into the placenta. Never knew that either! That was about all we got out of her! I asked all sweetly "So whats it measuring?" and she of course said I'd have to wait to talk to the doctor at my OB appointment on Feb 4th. So I went into the bathroom to change and hear DH say "That's it?" and she said how next time they will look for the limbs and organs and stuff. So I am assuming if something was wrong she would have said something one way or another.
So I am sitting here staring at the blob and getting ready to meet my sister with her family for dinner. : )

The count down is on...

Tomorrow is our first u/s!! I am nervous and scared at the same time. I think its going to be fun to see DH's reaction as well. It hasn't fully hit me that I am PG. Strange I know. I just need to see or hear something to confirm it. I'm one of those that have to see it to believe it! I never was one to fall for anything! Our appointment is at 4:00. I just want to go to bed and for it to be time already!
Tomorrow is suppose to be the coldest day in years here in Florida. Hopefully that's good luck! I think the high is going to be 58, which is nothing for those northern girls but hey its damn cold down here!!
I am sick. I have the cough from hell. And the crud that is coming up is disgusting! I called my doctor and they said it would be fine to use the Vicks Vapor rub, plain old Robitussin (yes there are 20 different kinds) and use cough drops. I am waiting to use the Robitussin till before I go to bed. That's when the cough is the worst.
Update on my new friend in my classroom... the child is a mess! Mom came in for a conference today. She sugar coated everything and according to the Principal at the child's previous school mom is a complete bullshit artist! We didn't know this till after she left. He is bipolar, and ADHD. The old school that he went to said the family isn't consistent with his meds. Which makes me sad because he can't help his condition himself. Mom said he did not qualify for ESE, which was a lie b/c come to find out the test results aren't back yet. So long story short he is moving over to an ESE inclusion room. My best friends room! She knew I had nothing to do with it but still what a mess. My principal mentioned how she is scared to keep him in my room. Not sure if she was talking since I am PG or what. But he will be moving over there tomorrow. He told a little girl in my class he was going to knock her out today but besides that he was okay. I'm not going to complain that he is leaving at ALL! lol
Wish me luck tomorrow at my appointment!!
