**I’m 13 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I’ve been showing since 5 weeks but I feel like I am huge for 13 weeks. I have only gained 3-4 pounds in the past 13 weeks and I feel great. My students talk to my belly, rub my belly and ask questions daily. It’s great teaching middle school because their questions are quite hilarious at times…. Can the baby pee in you? Does the baby hear us when we are cussin’? Can you paper mache your belly when it’s big so we can have it forever? Is Mike as excited as we are? Could your baby be black since we are all black even though Mike and you are white?

I have been feeling great lately although I am still tired all the time. I think that is because I don’t sleep well at night due to the one dog trying to sleep in the bed, Mike moving a lot, my need to pee every two hours etc. I don’t think it’s really the pregnancy as much as outside sources.

Mike’s sister is due in a month but it seems she may go sooner. She’s really uncomfortable, her blood pressure was up this week and she had to go to the hospital to be monitored. She’s ready to have her second child and find out the sex of the baby and pick a name. Her and her husband have no names picked out for either sex. Their first daughter’s name is not normal at all; she was named after her deceased paternal grandfather- Irwin. She’s Aerwin and we all her Air. I’m very interested to see what sex their baby is; they have thought girl all along and were told it may be a girl at about 12 weeks but she’s carrying completely differently than her 1st pregnancy and all overall feels very different. One baby gave her heartburn, the other indigestion. One moved a lot, the other much less. One she gained 70 pounds all around and one is all out front and about 35 pounds. One was carried high and one is low. I can’t wait to find out if it’s a boy or not although I hope it’s a girl for her. I want the boy…..

I have a feeling I’m having a girl but I want a boy. We have a boy name, I dream it’s a boy and I always wanted boys only. I’ll be happy and grateful to have a healthy girl but I’ll be disappointed at first. I am finding out the sex when they will tell me (April) because that way I’ll be prepared and won’t be disappointed at birth if it’s a girl. I know I’ll love my child but I just always pictured and hoped for sons.

Works been a little hectic and trying lately. The students are really off the wall, “off the chain” as most of our teachers say. I’m annoyed they do not listen but I know it’s due to having so many snow days and vacation days. They take very little responsibility for their actions and their parents are not holding them accountable. Our principal this year is much more lenient than last years administration. A 13yr old girl threated to stab a teacher with a pair of scissors (while holding the scissors and cornering the teacher) and the administration did nothing when notified. A boy and girl skipped 2hrs of classes and their whereabouts were unknown yet they were not punished either. Then a girl wore pants with a few small holes (she had tights underneath and the wholes were at the knees) and she was placed in in-school-suspension until her parents brought her pants without holes. The inconsistency is not helpful. We also have tons of paperwork to do and it keeps changing which makes it rough.

Mike and I are fantastic. We are both tired and busy lately so we haven’t had quality time together but Mike is having me spend tomorrow with him. I’m ignoring paperwork and just focusing on Mike and I having fun tomorrow doing nothing special but not being bothered with work.

And…you are updated.
