Well I have been told that I have begun to slack a little on the blogging bit, which I admit I have. Not like I do much homework, but I have much less motivation to write out long things about my life than I did during the summer. Probably because I'm actually doing other things besides working and coming home to watch TV. Anyways, here is my update:

1. My husband thinks he might have the swine flu. He texted me while I was at work today and said he thought he was getting sick because he had a lot of flu like symptoms. Well, two hours later he got an email from a kid in one of the classes he TA's for that said he has the swine flu and wont' be coming to class for a while. Apparently this is the type of kid who sits in the front row, comes to all his office hours, so his exposure is legit enough for me to make him a doctor's appointment bright and early tomorrow morning to get it checked out. But I'm going to be kinda ticked if he has it. a. because that means that I am a contact of it and probably can't work with my 20 children who have worse immune systems than me and b. i don't want to get it but seeing as we share a lot of things in this house hold, it is very likely that i could. death.

2. I still fail at doing homework, studying, and motivating myself to do anything related to school. Apparently I can't take 13 credits because I feel like I have nothing to do. I'll remember that in the future.

3. I would like to comment on the friends I have going to the Miley Cyrus concert tonight-- there are 3 girls in the kindergarten going with their moms as well. Maybe you'll see them there. =)

4. I hate having people call asking for us to donate money to some charity or another. I always feel like a jerk for not wanting to, and they don't ever let you hang up ever.

5. I'm excited for this dramatic change in weather that is supposed to happen this evening. I'm tired of being all sweaty after coming in at recess. And plus, I have some lovely sweaters to wear now.

I am really lacking in the inspired writing department tonight so that is all I leave you with my good friends. =)

body.

Let me tell you what an interesting sensation it is to have your pants fit in the legs, but then be extremely tight at the waist. I have invested (well my mom invested, and gave it to me) in the BellyBand, and I must say that it is fabulous. I might even wear it when I'm not pregnant because it holds the pants up without having to zip or button them.

However, I will tell you of the incident in kindergarten yesterday, I was wearing these cords, which were a lot lower rise than any of my work pants, which also made it hard for the band to stay down and cover the fly, because I have a longer torso yadda yadda yadda. Well, I was doing a good job making sure it was covered, but when I stood up from the chairs at the table, which I should mention are about a foot maybe off the floor so it's extremely awkward to get up from, the bottom part of my zipper was showing and I immediately got a "your pants are unzipped teacher". Awkward. then "are they too tight, do you need a bigger size?" What do you say to a kid, to explain that while you don't look like you have anything inside you, you actually do, and I don't need bigger pants, I just needed the stupid thing to stay down farther, which wasn't going to happen. Sigh. it'll be nice to look like I am not just gaining weight specifically in my stomach but that there is actually something there so I have a legit excuse for the children, besides "my stomach is too big" which I felt like saying.

Also, yoga right now. Holy freak. The only reason I go is because I like the way I feel when I'm done. Other than that, I wouldn't go, not only because I hate working out, but because it's hard!! Power yoga is a work out man!! She pumps the room up to like 80+ degrees so we are dripping with sweat and then we do the same things over and over again. But it feels so good, my body likes it, so I will continue to sweat it out every other day, knowing that this is the only exercise I'm going to do besides walk up the death stairs every day. =)

oh boy.

we had our first baby apppointment today! it was awesome! we heard the heartbeat, which is beating at 173 beats per minute btw, and saw the ultrasound. It makes it seem a whole lot more real considering I haven't been sick at all so it really just doesn't feel like we're going to have a kid. but apparently there is something growing inside of me! So our official date is April 10, 2010 which would be awesome because Levi's birthday is the 9th!

btw, kindergarten is crazy. that's all i have to say. it's been a lot of work this week man.

Motivation.

I lack it. My classes this semester require limited effort, like reading a chapter a week (which I have yet to do), we don't have class for the week we have tests in my socialization across childhood class, my cognitive development class we don't have homework or a book in, he gives us an outline of his notes we need to fill in, my music class we record ourselves singing and rarely have homework. All in all- this means I would rather watch the opening nights of all of the new seasons of TV. Speaking of which, whoever decided to redo shows right when school starts was an idiot. I'm so glad I have gossip girl, ncis, ncis la, 30 rock and glee to watch. at least those. that's like 4 1/2 hours of tv a week. Which doesn't sound like much, but when you turn it on, it's 9 times harder to turn it off!

Also, our house is a mess. I'm also lacking in that department. I blame this lack of motivation to do anything on our future kid which is sucking my remaining juice out of me. Working from 12-4 and having class after that is exhausting me and then I have no desire to do anything. Which is why our house will remain like it is until we have to clean for my friend's baby shower that we're having at our place this weekend. I also have begun to eat ridiculous food now. I can no longer eat cereal, as I usually end up hungry and nauseous by 10:00. So today I had eggs, bacon and a bagel for breakfast, plus lean cuisine chicken alfredo for lunch, plus yogurt and granola for snack and an apple and then dinner! Oh and my popcorn and chocolate ice cream for dessert. speaking of which. I have never eaten chocolate ice cream in my life. It's gross, however I have begun to eat it frequently! I like sorbet waay more than ice cream but it doesn't even sound good. Being pregnant is crazy man. crazy crazy.
