Hellooooo everyone! It's been awhile! It's been so long since my last post, I'm not even sure where to start. I guess I'll begin with me. I finally landed my dream job as an elementary language arts teacher. I teach grades 3-5 in Cherokee. Our classes are very small so there are only about 10 kids per grade level. I am finishing up my second school year here as we speak. I absolutely love it. The kids are great and I get along so well with the teachers on my team.
The other members of my family are doing great as well. Tyler is working for North San Saba Water Services. He likes it most of the time but he complains a bit when there's a massive water leak and it's 30 degrees outside...I probably would too:) Ella is growing like crazy! She is 3 years old and is the sassiest, smartest, most beautiful girl in the world! She is very challenging as she has been since day one. She has yet to sleep through the night in her 3 years of life and now gets out of her bed in the middle of the night (every SINGLE night) and crawls in bed with us. She is a little genius and it sometimes makes me nervous! Her favorite activities are drawing, coloring, and riding her 4 wheeler. She also loves loves LOVES movies...her current favorites that we watch over and over are Little Mermaid and Frozen. She weighs in at 32 pounds and is 39 inches tall.
Ok, now back to me:) I am 19 weeks pregnant with our second child and I am due on August 26. We are so very excited about our new little addition. Ella is ready to be a big sister. She kisses and hugs my belly and likes to sing to the baby as well as give the baby "zerberts." She asks me almost daily when the baby is coming out. Even though my due date is the second day of school, I know everything will work out fine. It will be challenging not being in school the first few weeks but my students are resilient and understanding. With all the technology out there, I'm sure I can make videos, skype, etc. and make my absence count.
My pregnancy is going well. I have to say it is going very differently that my first pregnancy went. I was so sick with Ella all day every day for so long. The fatigue and pregnancy blues really took a toll on me. This time, I have tons of energy and have only gotten sick a few times. Between 10 and 15 weeks was the worst. I would throw up 2-3 times a week but it was only at night. And it would leave me as soon as it came on. Since then though, I have been feeling great. My belly is really growing. I was a little nervous about my belly growth at first because I started showing so much sooner than I did with Ella but now it's evened out a little and I'm about the same size that I was with her. I began feeling the baby move about 2 weeks ago and am noticing a movement pattern now. The baby moves around lunch time and again around 8-9 PM. We will find out the gender of the baby on Tuesday, just 6 days away! Can't wait!
