Heartbeat

Jason and I went to the doctor yesterday for my 1st visit. I got to hear the heartbeat which was one of the most amazing things ever! I was totally nervous that something would be wrong and I wouldn't hear the heartbeat but I did and its official that my little seminole is in there! Then I had to go get bloodwork done, which was interesting. It took her a while to get into my vein and after the 1st tube of blood I blacked out. Jason looked pretty scared when I came back to. I guess it was traumatizing for him. Hopefully next time that won't happen.
I also went to see Mamma Mia last night at the Fox in downtown Atlanta. It was a super cute movie and it was really nice to have a girls night out. The Fox is so pretty and I LOVE being downtown, as long as I don't have to drive. This weekend we're off to Leesburg and hopefully hurricane won't ruin our time down there!

Its A NOLE!

Oh, I forgot to add our baby is most certainly a Seminole!! Momma and Daddy got us the cute booties and a girl from the small group I lead last year croched the blanket and hat. They're super cute!!!

First Week of School

So, the first week as a 6th grade teacher is over with! Whew!!! It was definitely a tiring week. So far I love teaching 6th grade. The kids are all really sweet and very much in culture shock. I have one class that is super talkative though and I'm working to fix that ASAP. I did have a student cry on Thursday, its a record for me to have one cry in the first week. He didn't so so well on my Continents and Oceans Pre- Quiz and he was really upset. I told him it was just a pre-quiz and didn't count for anything but he still took it hard he did poorly. I love kids like that! Here are some pictures of my room. Top Gun are those rewarded for having the best test grade in a class. 5 point for highest, 4 for 2nd highest and so on.
Word Wall and my AMAZING curtains Granny and Momma made - lucky for me the school colors are garnet and gold!The front of my room. On the board is the Olympic Medal count and the Today in History. My desk - of coarse all Seminole! The quote is my class motto - "No Day But Today" from Rent!

Yuck

So far my pregnancy has been great. I haven't gotten sick yet and I really hope it stays that way. I am starting to discover things that make my stomach turn though, so I'm sure nausea is not too far away. I have a food aversion to chicken, which really stinks because I used to eat a lot of chicken. At fisrt I thought it was just fried food becuase I didn't like my Chick-fil- A nuggets or Jason's mozzarella sticks but I have since discovered its both fried food and chicken. Yesterday I gaged in Sam's when I smelled the rotisserie chicken. This is going to be really hard if I can't eat chicken for a while. I was reading my "What to expect when you're especting" book and found out that an aversion to chicken is really common but people don't know why it happens. Strange.
I'll put pictures up tomorrow of my classroom. I don't have the camera beside me now and I actually need to get going to school.

Suprise!!!

Well, most of you know by now that I am pregnant. And most all of you are suprised because you didn't expect us to get pregnant so soon. So here is our pregnancy story.

At the end of June Jason and I had a conversation about maybe starting to try to have kids. This is about a year earlier than we expected this conversation would come up so we prayed about it and decided I'd get off birth control and we'd just let God do what he wanted to do. I took my last pill on June 29th. We knew that most people take months to get pregnant and we were totally ok with that, but we didn't want anyone else to know we were trying. I just didn't want everyone to ask "so, are you pregnant yet?" every time I saw them. So the end of July rolls around and its about that time and I don't start on the Tuesday I'm supposed to, or the Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. So I got a pregnancy test and took it just to see. Well, I got a cheap one from Publix and it was a faint plus. So the next day I got a name brand one and it was definantly a positive. Jason and I decided to wait to tell everyone until I went to the doctor and made sure. So I went Thursday July 31st and he told me I was 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant and due April 1st! Then we called and got to suprise everyone. It was so much fun!!!!

Jason and I are really excited and we pray everything goes well. I go back on August 28th for my next visit and ultrasound. I'll get to hear the heartbeat then. We should be able to find out what the baby is right before Thanksgiving and I know Jason is ready for that. Here are a couple of pictures for you to enjoy. Pray that everything goes well with my pregnancy. So far its been really good!!

Its kinda blurry but you can see the 2 pink lines for a positive Yay! I'm pregnant!!!! My belly before the baby starts to show - I was 4 weeks and 5 days
