A Few Notes About Pregnancy...

I am very excited and a bit apprehensive to say that I am over morning sickness!!! I don't want to say that to loud because I'm only 8 weeks, but I can't help but to celebrate! Here are a few stories and tips I picked up on with morning sickness:
-Every commercial seems to be about food that looks wonderful, however, the thought of eating it makes you run to the bathroom.
-Morning sickness is such a funny name...for me it needed to be evening sickness, which was just in time for Neil to come home and enjoy my most miserable time and trying to explain to him that I felt descent for some of the day.
-I picked Neil up some pizza one night to try to be a good wife and make up for not caring about what he ate...so he wasn't home yet and the pizza smelled so good. I figured a few bites wouldn't hurt. I sure did enjoy those four little bites. It was almost worth throwing it up a minute later!
-I love to tell everyone about being pregnant! I tell anyone who will listen!
-I LOVE ultrasounds!!!
-My mom took me to the Motherhood store a couple of days ago and insisted that I get some clothes for when I wake up and can't fit in to anything! My mom got a kick out of me trying on maternity clothes!
-A huge thanks to applesauce, grilled cheese sandwiches, pop-ice, chicken noodle soup, peppermint, and cheese puffs!
-I went up to my classroom to get things ready for school and I was able to catch up with my wonderful colleagues. They are extremely excited for me and already rubbing my stomach that shows no sign of being pregnant, something I decided I'm going to have to get use to!!!
-I have a new respect for pregnant women who suffer from morning sickness. I had a friend call today and tell me she was pregnant and so sick. I was excited for her, but my heart went out to her because now I really know what it feels like. She cried, I cried and tomorrow after work, I'm going to take her little girl to the park and to get some dinner so her mommy can hopeful get some rest! My new goal is to try to be more sympathetic and service minded to all pregnant women. I wish my sister wasn't finished having children...I could relate so much better now. She has truly been my life saver and has listened to me cry and then cried with me!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I go back to work tomorrow! I'm really a kid at heart and I get so excited about a NEW school year. I miss the teachers I work with and of course my students! So, here's to a new and exciting year, full of fun and excitement everyday!!!
