Gingersnaps are my new best friend

For the last few days my diet has consisted of gingersnaps, gingersnaps, and more gingersnaps. They are the only thing that my stomach likes right now. This is a new experience for me because I had no morning sickness with John. Tuesday was bad; very bad. I felt nauseous the entire day, until Jerrod brought home some gingersnaps. My sister recommended them and a friend of mine who is about 2 weeks ahead of me said that she doesn't go anywhere without her gingersnaps. Well today, not only do I feel nauseous, I think I could fall asleep while I'm teaching. Usually the fatigue doesn't hit until 5 p.m. A snow day would be so great. I'm taking off Monday because I have my appointment with the nurse to do family history, blood work, and of course the best part, to see how much I weigh. My first ultrasound and appointment with my doctor is next Thursday. Right now I am counting the hours until I can go home, lay on the couch in my pajamas eating my gingersnaps and watch Grey's Anatomy.

Praying for a snow day

For the teachers out there, January, February and March can seem like an eternity. The rest of the school year flies by, but these months tend to be very long. The one hope that you do have during these months is the possibility of a snow day. With the weather we've had recently, I didn't see a snow day coming any time soon. Since I'm in my first trimester and the only thing I want to do is stay in elastic waisted pants and sleep, I am praying for many snow days. I've checked weather.com about a hundred times today, and I think the best case scenario for tomorrow for Lynchburg City is one hour delay. Hey, its not an entire day, but it I'll take it. I can cuddle in bed with John while watching Sesame Street instead of running around the house trying to get his lunch/snacks/juice/milk/clothes packed for the day and be out the door by 7:30; and I can eat breakfast at home instead of in the car. If you don't like snow, I'm sorry, but I'm praying for many snow days in the coming months. John got boots for Christmas and I'm looking forward to letting him try them out. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

What a way to start the new year!

I can't wait any longer. Jerrod and I received a wonderful Christmas gift. We're adding another member to our family. Yes, we're pregnant! I'm due the beginning of September. I apologize to friends who are offended that I did not tell them in person. I just couldn't wait any longer to share this happy news.
