Well there is that.. in Watching Life Fly By

I went to a reproductive specialist on March 1st. He had a long conversation with me, asking many questions. He then did an exam and a few tests on me. He then sat down and discussed his findings. He believes I will be pregnant within 3 months. He made a plan for it all. He set me up with numerous medications to begin next cycle. They are for my PCOS and clotting disorder, but not fertility. He believes I’m fertile, but that it is just that I lose babies before they become children.
I walked away much more hopeful, thankful and feeling less stressed.

Work has been rough. We’ve had so many teachers quit. Ms. M retired in October, Mr. Y quit just before Christmas, Mr. H quit 30 days in, Mr. C cussed out the kids and walked out about 2 weeks after taking Mr. H’s place, Ms. E took a new job at Christmas, Ms. W moved and became an accountant in mid January, Mr. D left the week before her to work for Amazon, Ms. S left a week and a half ago for a new job, and a different Ms. S quit last Friday because she didn’t like her co-teacher. I know Mr. G is leaving for grad school at the end of the school year, Ms. W and Mr. T have applied to other districts, Ms. H- Ms. C- Ms. A- Ms. P are all retiring at the end of the school year, and we are possibly losing a few more teachers (3-5 more say they may apply elsewhere). We only have about 40-50 teachers total so we are taking a big hit. We’ve lost one administrator this year and may lose a second (out of 3) at the end of the year. This causes tons of extra work for those of us who remain in the building. It’s a lot on us daily. The kids sense it and are terrible…thanks High Schoolers!

Mike and I are doing well. We’ve been on a few dates lately. We need some one on one time. It helps.
Chloe is amazing and growing so fast daily. She’s a smarty pants.
