And the results...

we're having a BOY!!!! He is growing at the correct rate and weighs about 12 ounces (like a Coke can, said the technician who was taking the measurements!)

Now comes the fun part...trying to find a name.

Boy or Girl???

Okay folks...tomorrow, Jason and I go to the doctor for our 20 week appointment (the doctor changed my due date to March 23rd)! (I cannot believe we're at the halfway point already!)

Measurements will be taken to make sure the little one is growing in the correct proportions in accordance with the number of weeks (s)he is. And of course, if the little one cooperates, we will be able to find out if (s)he is a boy or girl.

Jason and I have been teasing each other relentlessly about the gender of this baby. He says "she" all the time and of course, I HAVE to say "he" just because. I think that Jason says "she" because we've had a girl's name picked out for YEARS and really do not have any boy's names narrowed down to any particular one that we truly like (at the moment). It does not matter to us which we are blessed with as long as the little one is healthy!

So, what do you think???

Lifesaver!

No, I haven't had any cravings for the candies...but I did find the BEST pillow ever! I was using three different pillows to sleep with and none were comfortable nor making me comfortable. Right now, I'm all about being comfortable!

I had heard about some pillows and did some research. I decided on this one:

The Snoogle!



This is the best thing since sliced bread!!! There are about 10 different ways to twist and turn this creative wonder so that the pregnant one (me!) can be comfortable. It's amazing what the right product can do...

What I've Been Doing Lately...

...of course, going to work and enriching the minds of teenagers (ha);
...putting my feet up once I get home;
...catching up on shows recorded on the DVR since I cannot watch them all at once;
...knitting and knitting some more and here's the evidence:




...plus two projects in the works!

and I've been getting some more yarn in the mail...

Updates

People (and you know who you are!) have been asking about Mom. She is doing 100% better! She doesn't really need to walk with the cane unless she's walking a long distance, her feet have gone back to their normal size and she's lost ALL of the fluid plus a couple extra pounds. The doctor does think that her thyroid has been acting up (hence the extra weight loss) and has adjusted her medication for that. When we saw her yesterday, she had finished cutting the grass, had washed the car and was just moving around like I haven't seen her do in quite some time. Today she was off to the beach for the week.

School started on Monday. My schedule changed a bit-I was supposed to have 2 Spanish 1 classes, 2 Spanish 2 classes and 1 Spanish 3 class. We had enough students for an extra section of Spanish 1, so I picked that up and gave up the Spanish 3 class. It's nice having that extra Spanish 1 class because the classes aren't packed with 34 students!!! One class has 16, another 27 and the other 28. My Spanish 2 classes are small as well-19 and 24. The real test will start on Tuesday-Can I remember all their names???? Especially since Back to School night is on Wednesday!

I'm still feeling fine. Changed when I take my vitamins and that seems to have done the trick-no more nausea! I absolutely hate that feeling. I would rather throw up than have that gross feeling hang around all day. I'm still tired at the end of the day, which makes driving the 12 miles home interesting! Hopefully, that will change in another week or two.

And finally, I did receive another package from my SP and have taken pictures, but have not uploaded them onto my computer (so sorry, Bees!). I received a skein of yarn (blue and orange in color-Go Gators!) and a package of Pomegranate Cashews from Harry & David's (my favs!).

Potpourrii

A bunch of randomness:

-this week was loaded with meetings (have I mentioned how much I dislike meetings???)
-one of the presentations was a hoot because the presenter actually could have been a comedienne! (Wonder if she ever thought of doing that instead of being in education???)
-my four year old wish of new Spanish 1 textbooks (that everyone else in county had already) came to fruition; now I just have to stamp and number them.
-the deck is finished (pictures to follow as soon as the rain stops)
-Jason finally joined FB...he was worried that I hadn't friended him yet...how could I when (a)laptops were being reimaged at work (b)FB is not allowed at school and (c)once I got my laptop back my password didn't work
-pricking my finger 4 times a day is oh so much fun (extreme sarcasm here please) especially now that school is starting
-I wish everyone just got along and didn't shoot the messenger
-there's a missing package...or the mail is extremely SLOW this week [Bees, no package as of today :-(]
-I still need to get my posts ready about our trip...before I forget where we even went!
and
-I'm sooooooo tired!
G'night!

New Addition(s)

Yesterday, is was construction central around here. Before we left for our vacation, we had set up for a deck to be put on the house. The crew came yesterday morning to dig the footers. They will be back today after the inspector comes to start constructing the deck. They hope to be finished by Monday or Tuesday!

We also had a crew from Baltimore City come out yesterday (after 5 days of calling) because we noticed that the road was wet every day starting about where our water meter was. They dug a hole in the street and fixed the problem (hopefully). The process was a hoot to watch because there were at least 5 trucks and 7 or 8 workers. One was in the back hoe, one was in the hole, one was watching the digging, 2 were in the dump truck eating their lunches and at least 2 others just sitting in their trucks! Oh my...


AND...


Jason and I will be adding to our family around the end of March.
