Life has been good lately...for several reasons.
1. My nausea has subsided!!! I didn't know how long it would last, but week 7 it went from all day to just morning (which seemed wonderful to me), and then week 8 (this past week) it was almost non-existent! Let's hope and pray that the rest stays like this past week. I even had an energy boost in the middle of the week that made me feel like myself again. It gave me all kinds of energy to focus on school, enjoying this last bit of time of just being a couple without children, and just being excited about the whole reason for going through this...a baby!!
2. The beginning of the year craziness at school is almost over. I feel like I'm starting to settle into my new class and that I'm getting to know them better. I always go through a period of really missing the class/family I had the past year (I'm not always the best at change), but I'm starting to feel more like this is my class (if that makes sense...probably only to teachers). This class makes it VERY easy on me, too, because they are just the sweetest, calmest, cutest little bunch of second graders I've ever seen! I pretty much just go there and teach...and not have to worry about discipline. I think God had mercy on me, knowing that I was going to be pregnant! The crazy thing is half of my class is new to our school, so it could have been interesting.
3. Fall is in the air!!!!!! Yes, it has been in the low 90's, but that 10 degrees makes a huge difference, not to mention the low humidity. It's also something about the angle of the sun hitting the earth...and hearing football in the background!!! I just love it!!! It makes me so happy and brings back all kinds of happy memories and thoughts from the beautiful falls in Arkansas (along with the excitement of being back at school) and happy fall days from my childhood.
4. We just went to our first meeting with our new life group and absoultely loved it! Our leader was the life group minister at his old church and moved here in the spring. He wanted to start up a new group, and since ours kind of died off last year, it was perfect timing for us! We are very excited about forming new relationships and getting spiritually fed in that way.
I hope your days are happy ones as well and that everyone has a great start to a new week!
My Life. My Boys.

I know you feel like a brand new woman since the sick and tired feelings have subsided. I couldn't believe the energy difference b/t weeks 7 and 8 ~ use it to your advantage... sleep and extra energy may very well become a thing of the past!
Yes...I'm trying to think about that and enjoy it, because I know I'll be longing to feel this rested not too long from now!
I am SO HAPPY your sickness is starting to be gone. That is such a good news!
Hi! I found your blog through mae's blog. I was sick with my first child, mornings only AND I was working at a bank. I remember having to excuse myself to a customer, go throw up & then be back. Then, I was SOOOO sick w/my seconf child that I was hospitalized for a day of IV fluids. I lost 10 lbs. in my first 4 months! So...I feel your pain, but I feel your sweet relief as well. It DOES go away - and there's such a precious reward at the end of it all! Enjoy your journey!
SOOO glad you feel better and that you have a great class. Maybe they are a reflection of their teacher! :)
