More Paint!

I'm full of thoughts right now, so I will adopt the bulleted style for this post!

*I hear ya when you say that I should wait to get the bedding and then do a color match, BUT, Dad and Patty are coming down the last week in February and wanted to help paint the babies room (hence the reason that I am playing with paint colors). He also asked me if he could bring any stuff he can make and I said a changing table and a toy box but both are too big for a car ride from Maine! I'm thinking of asking him for a shelf with pegs instead. If I do that, I will paint the shelf some bright bold color that I love but is too strong for the walls.

*Thanks for the boob compliments. My poor bras have just about had it. They have formed a union and are complaining about poor working conditions.

*Paint colors! I am in favor of the bottom right one. It is a nice yellow that is bright without being blinding. I really like orange, but my school colors are orange and black and I can't help but think HMS tigers when I look at it.

*Thinking about starting a registry soon. Not necessarily for people to buy me things but just to get my wants/needs in order and organized.

*NOTE: I have found that if you use Mozilla Firefox to view this blog then it looks terrible! I use Internet Explorer. Try it, you'll like it.

*Pictures above: Look at the clutter that is in the baby's room! Jeremy is working on his second batch of bootlegger's beer and he needs to find a new place to put all that haha. I bought a few under-the-bed organizers so we can keep all of our stuff but also maximize the amount of space we have. I feel like this house has already shrunk in size.

*I LOVE spending time in the spare bedroom. We have a desk and chair in there and I just love being in there, especially when the sun is shining in. Because of the way our house is designed, the two rooms in the front get the best afternoon/evening light. If that room had a TV, I think I would move in. Just kidding, Jeremy keeps me warm :).

*I thought that was a sweet picture of Zoey. She has come a long way since being an abused pet, then stray and then shelter dog for 9 months. I hate to say it, but Parker takes terrible pictures, so I stopped trying. He's much too cute in real life, you'll have to visit to understand (unless you are heartless like Libby and prefer cats, which I will never understand).

*I have two choices right now: Start my homework, or not. I will choose the latter since my brain is programmed to do assignments at the last minute. This is a characteristic that I have learned to embrace. I told Jeremy, "why do it now when I can do it at the last minute and still get an A?". He said some smart remark after that, to put me in my place. :) I like how we converse.

Whoops

Ok I forgot to run spell check so excuse any terrible spelling errors. Also, The top pic is of my neighbor and best friend down here, Krisha and my doggy Zoey. Krisha likes the green and agrees that both the yellow and orange are too bright. She said finding a good yellow is tricky, but I am willing to keep looking!

Paint Colors

What do you think? In real life both the orange and the yellow are SUPER bright. I think I will go back to Lowe's and get more samples because they are only $3 a piece and I like playing with color.

Sorry for the messy picture layout but for some reason, I have a hard time posting pictures on this blog. They don't go where I want them to go and then when I try and rearrange them, I end up accidently deleting some and then I end up yelling at my computer.

This will be the bedding set, and I'm almost 100% on it. http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/189-8147012-2791322?ASIN=B002RWMMKK&AFID=Froogle&LNM=B002RWMMKKLittle_Tree_4_Piece_Baby_Crib_Bedding_Set_by_Migi&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B002RWMMKK&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001

Wal-Mart Brand Waffles

Yuck! What is disappointment! They tasted like paper pulp mixed with a terrible imitation blueberry flavor. I think it is time for me to buy a waffle iron because this waffle craving isn't going away.

Snow Day

No school today because it was sleeting and snowing during rush hour. I really think that we did need this snow day because the roads are pretty bad with the ice. I like to sleep in so I'm happy. I like going to work but nothing beats sleeping in! Baby Lapointe is hungry and craving waffles.

Appointment #3

So we got to meet the new doctor today and so far we really like him. He answered questions completely and honestly, and made time for eye contact. He didn't just sit there are write and ask generic questions (like the last doctor). Also, we didn't have to wait 3 hours for our appointment and we were never called and asked to reschedule our appointment because of a conflict they didn't notice earlier. I'm still bitter with the previous experiences, BUT, we are both happy with the way things are going now.
So we got to hear the heartbeat again and this time it was at 145, which leads us to believe that it may be a girl, although the last two appointments showed a heart rate at 170, which is typical for a boy (so they say). I love the idea of having a little girl but for my dad's sake, I would love to give him a grandson. Plus, Jeremy and I want 2 or 3 children and it would be nice if the oldest one was a boy so he could keep watch over his younger sibling(s). For the record, I want three and Jeremy wants two.
I've been getting sick again! Gosh! Hopefully it will pass soon though. I don't mind generally because I know I have it a lot better than a lot of women.
We might have a snow day tomorrow! I'll post and let you know if we do or not, but chances are that we will because we are expecting an inch or so so snow and/or sleet. Either way, it will be a good day because a majority of the students will not come if we do have school, so that means small classes for me which allows for lots of individual lessons. I love teaching in small groups because I think that in band, whole band instruction as well as sectionals or private lessons is a recipe for success!
Does anyone have any opinions, for or against, circumcision? My cousin's wife shared some thoughts with me that got me thinking. I guess I had never really put too much thought into the decision. What do you think? What are your experiences? Jeremy and I most likely will, but we are open to your ideas. :)

I'm a Sell-Out

Sorry for the ads you now see on the blog but I figured I would use the extra income to supplement my millions I currently make. It's never much money at all, but every time someone clicks on the ads from my blog, I get paid and tiny percent. If I get a dollar, then it was worth it!
Had a rough day today, I did a lot of yelling at the kids, broke up one fight, and wrote up seven other children (in addition to the two kids that got suspended for fighting). Some days I wonder why I do what I do, but then every so often I have one of those days where I want to cry because my kids show me something special. For example, today in after school band I had my 6th graders practicing for a quiz they will have this Thursday, and they played so well it made my heart flutter. I really love when I can see my impact. I guess there will always be a few that make me angry and a few that want to fight in a pregnant lady's classroom but that is part of the job, and they need me too.
About the kids quiz on Thursday: I'm actually leaving school early that day to go to my appointment (yay!) but the kids don't know that. There quiz will really be on Friday but I like to put the pressure on them because they can handle it and rise to the occasion (usually).
Jeremy is playing a game on PS3 that involves killing people so I will shimmy my way down to the bedroom and watch some TV! It is his day off so I understand why he wants to play his games.
Finally, a note about our dogs: Parker was so excited when I got home today that he was running in place on the kitchen floor. It was so cute, he was so excited to get to me that he was just sliding around. Zoey MUST have a terrible past because Jeremy threw a toy for her and it accidently hit her (it is a soft fleece football) and she screamed and cried! It was so sad, but a history of abuse might explain why she is so timid and lacks self confidence. I wish I could save all the dogs in the world.
Baby Lapointe is hungry! Bye bye :)

13 Weeks

Jeremy will be able to make my first appointment at Germantown Methodist so I'm happy about that. We will meet my new doctor and maybe get another ultrasound (the unrealistic part of me hopes that they will tell us what we are having).
Our appointment is on Thursday and I am excited :). Hopefully this will be the doctor we decide on because nothing is worse than feeling uncomfortable with the person who has your baby's life in their hands! (well I suppose the earthquake in Haiti is worse, or stubbing your toe, I guess I'm being a little dramatic but you get what I'm talking about).

Homework time! I'm taking one class this semester, Educational Law, and so far it seems ok. Just got to do the work, that is all it boils down to!

Answering My Mom's Questions

I'm upset because my company is leaving tomorrow :(

Ok my mom asked a few questions that I shall address to the best of my knowledge:
Q: Have you chosen a nursery theme?
A: See previous post, I'm thinking of going with the trees and birds

Q: If it is a boy, will you have him circumcised?
A: Yes.

Q: What are the top name choices so far?
A: For a boy, we both are favoring Ethan Michael Lapointe. We are not settled on any girl names although Jeremy loves Addison and I like Adeline.

Q: Who gets the final say on the name:
A: We both do. If we both don't agree on the name then we won't choose it. Isn't that normal?

Q: Natural, some meds, or epidural?
A: OMG Jeremy and I were viewing a sample birth plan and we got so overwhelmed with the choices! I was creeped out by a few choices (like, do you want the cord cut while still pulsating?) and we decided that we have a lot to discuss with the doctor! I want to pick up a book about labor so I can better educate myself because after reading that sample birth plan, I realized I don't know how much I don't know.

I'm going to get offline now because I want to snuggle with Libby on the couch and watch tv.

Oh, and to Cheryl: Yes we got a new couch and recliner. There is a store going out of business so we got a killer deal for the set and we are selling our old set. We will end up with a one hundred dollar loss in the end. I love not having to lint brush every day, the purchase was well worth it! Also, Jeremy is pretty pleased with his recliner as you can imagine.

Libby and I like the first and last ones :) Still not sure what the nursery theme will be but I'm really liking the last one with orange walls. My dad said he and Patty want to help paint when they come down during the last week of February.

Quick Pictures

Libby was reading, then Zoey thought she needed a cuddle buddy.

Nick in our Kitchen, notice the hand gesture

Libby reading without distraction

Emily, 3 Months Pregnant

We went downtown today and got some more gross food and went to the Gibson guitar factory. We took the tour of the production floor and factory and it was pretty neat. Nick plays guitar (but isn't a fan of Gibson) and probably appreciated the tour more than the rest of us.

So far I have gained 9 pounds which is four pounds more than the recommended weight to gain in the first trimester. Whoops! Someone at Jeremy's work touched my belly and I was thinking, but didn't say, "lady I'm three months pregnant and barely showing, you just touched mostly my beer belly from my previous drinking days". Erin told me I have to be polite to people that share all of their pregnancy tips and stories. She is right, and for the most part I enjoy people's excitement and input (except that stupid coworker of mine).

Don't want to work tomorrow! I want to hang out with Libby as much as I can! It is ok though because it should be an easy day and I should be home around 4pm.

I'll keep taking pictures, the hardest part is remembering the camera.

Sorry!

Sorry I haven't posted in a little while but I've been busy with guests! Libby and Nick got here Friday afternoon and we have been having so much fun. I have been feeling great, except tired and a little car sick here and there. I need to remember to take pictures so I can post them on here. I love having guests, the worst part is when they leave.

For morning sickness, my former ob/gyn (seeing a new doctor for my next appointment because I wasn't thrilled with my current ob/gyn and also my insurance went from Blue Cross/Blue Shield to Cigna so that motivated my doctor change) prescribed promethazine. I took it once and felt the extreme side effects. Come to find out it is a very potent drug and I'm not going to take it anymore simply because honestly, I don't trust my former ob/gyn. I did some quick research on the drug and found out that it is 'ok' to take but still a class C drug. And of course, people at my work had something to say about this anti-nausea pill. That same quirky coworker told me that a girlfriend of hers took an anti-nausea pill and her baby was messed up. (Insert eye roll).

Took the dogs for a walk today with Libby, it was 61 degrees today and sunny. Parker was giving Libby such a hard time on the walk! He wanted to stop every second to pee on something, he was totally taking advantage of her kindness.

Oh gosh, Jeremy has taken Libby and Nick to all the nasty food places around here and I'm just expected to sit and watch them eat nasty southern food. Just kidding, I like going to those places. I actually really like Corky's BBQ because I get a big yummy salad there with a side of hushpuppies! Tonight we went to Gus's Fried Chicken and Libby was in chicken heaven. She said it was sooooo good. I got to try fried green tomatoes so that was cool.

Ok I must tend to my guests, and that consists of giving Libby an arm rub and then sharing the couch with her.
I have to get back to my guests! Lets hope my health stays great!

Wednesday Night

It is about 9pm on Wednesday and I'm 100 percent better than I was last night at this time. I was so sick last night! Barfing and barfing, and then I kept barfing! AND, when I woke up this morning, there was dog barf on the sheets. I can't escape vomit. Last night, I asked Jeremy to search the whole house to find a prescription for anti-nausea medicine and he found it! My doctor wrote it for me when I had my first appointment. At the time I hadn't been morning, afternoon, or evening sick at all so I didn't' fill it. Good thing I didn't lose it because I filled it tonight and when I was starting to feel terrible, I took one pill and I feel better. I still feel that 'sour' stomach feeling but at least I'm in bed and not leaning over the spare bedroom toilet.
A woman from my work today pissed me off. First of all, I don't even like this person. Also, we are not 'friends' and we do not really discuss my personal life like I would with a coworker that I casually get along with. Anyways, she butted in to a conversation I was having with another teacher and she said "why are you sick? Do you have the flu?" and I said "no, I have a baby on the way". Her first comment was, "was it an accident?" and then she asked how far along I was and THEN she said "are you sure you're pregnant?". Maybe it is because I don't like her to begin with, but I was at a loss of words. Ugh, I felt like being super sarcastic and saying "well, I meant to have unprotected sex with my husband, so I guess that would be planned...." and "I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant.......seeing as I peed on some sticks, haven't had my period, saw the baby on two ultrasounds, heard the heartbeat, been exhibiting classic symptoms of pregnancy, and oh yea, my doctor said I was." Gah. Another coworker told me that she was just being inquisitive and not to take it personally, so I won't, since I do believe she was just talking without thinking (which I have done on many occasions, its forgivable).
Some quick notes:
*I have to share my closet now!! Not thrilled about it but we have to make room for baby so I will share 1/10 of my closet with Jeremy. I think I can handle it but it will take time :).
*Jeremy drank/tested his first batch of beer, he seems pretty happy with it since it tastes like beer. I bought him a starter kit for beer making for Christmas and I'm really happy he has embraced a new fun hobby.
*My car is leaking oil, suck. I have to take it in on Monday. It reminds me on how grateful I am to have a car that is not always in the shop! There was a time when I was in and out of body shops and mechanics and I don't miss those days!
*My students have a quiz tomorrow so that means I don't have to teach haha. I hope the kids do well. Many of them have not been taking their instruments home to practice.......hmmmmm
*I have this one student that calls me "Mrs. LaPregnant". Since I like this student and have taught him for 3 years, I think it is cute. Had it been a student that already annoys me, I might have had to hit them in a location where there aren't any security cameras.
*The kids are being really sweet (for the most part) about my pregnancy. I've been doing a really good job of not stressing myself out while teaching and staying calm really helps with classroom management (which is always an issue in an inner city school).
*Jeremy is so nice to me, I really love him! He hears me getting sick and does anything he can to help me. Last night, he got a cool washcloth and put it across my forehead. I already have a sense of how much 'it takes two' to raise a child.

Ok, so sleepy! The sooner I sleep, the sooner Libby and Nick get here!

Monday

Tomorrow will be our 7th year dating anniversary (which is also our year and a half wedding anniversary)! 7 years ago we went on our first date. I'll never forget it either.........after standing me up one time, I decided to give him a second chance. He lured me to his house by saying "my parents will be asleep, we can watch a movie with surround sound." We watched "Signs" and later Jeremy admitted that he was hoping I would get scared and cuddle up to him. Little did he know that movies don't scare me (although they used to, ET?? Now that's scary)! I remember he was wearing a TON of cologne and his leather jacket. We met up at Governor's and took his 1995 white Pontiac Grand Prix to his mom and Norman's house.
I remember that we stayed up for hours just talking. I felt totally fulfilled by simple conversation. Ever felt that?
So, we ended up dating for the rest of my winter break and right before I left to go back to college at UMass, Jeremy asked me to be his official girlfriend. I said yes, of course. I remember being nervous about having a long distance boyfriend, because I didn't' know if our feelings would stay strong while we were 4 hours away from each other. After countless hours of phone conversation (which Jeremy usually hates), we finally got to see each other again when I drove home in the wee hours the night. I met him at Governor's and he gave me a big hug and even though he was greasy from cooking all night, I hugged him back.
The rest is history!
Dr. Oz says that a couple needs to reinvent their relationship every 7 years. Do you think that having a child counts as reinventing our relationship? If not, I need to know what the heck he meant by that because if Dr. Oz says it, I listen!
On a different note, I'm feeling better, work is fine, Libby and Nick in 4 days! Good luck Nick on your interview this Wednesday in New York.

On a Good Note....

Libby said my blog was depressing her so I will make an effort to be more positive. I can't wait until Libby and Nick come to visit! They are wonderful guests to have because everyone is totally fulfilled by a Wii filled night. Jeremy is happy to have an eating partner coming to visit since I don't join in the fried chicken and deep fried burgers.

Still sick today, woke up dry heaving but I've been able to keep down dry cereal (Rice Bitz aka Chex). Yay!

Well, there is a Law & Order: SVU marathon going on that I must watch. Dogs are sleeping on my feet, keeping them warm.

Worst Not Snow Day Ever

I've been sick all day. Can't keep anything down, including prenatal vitamins. I've got a headache but can't keep Tylenol down. My head is killing me, my nose keeps bleeding every time I get sick, and I have cabin fever like whoa.

I just had gotten my butt off the couch, finally feeling a little better, showered and just finished getting all cute so I could take Zoey out (to a new pet store that encourages you to bring your dogs to help get them socialized), and just as I was putting my jacket on, I barfed. And bled. Boo hoo but at least Jeremy is home.

This is the worst not snow day ever. The worst too cold for kids to come to school day ever.

Not Quite a Snow Day.....

Well school is cancelled for today, but not because of snow. It is about 0 degrees outside with the windchill and Memphis thought it was too dangerous for students to walk to school or wait at the bus stop.

So back to bed I go! (After eating waffles, another recent obsession)

Tired

Just getting home from work/school and its 5:13pm. Kind of a long day but we had a professional development session so I had to go to that.

A few quick notes:

*I have mice in my classroom. I went to sit down at my piano yesterday, and a big, brown, and greasy mouse ran across the music stand part of my piano! I screamed and then swore, loudly. Good thing I didn't have kids in the room!

*Weird things have been happening to me lately when it comes to my body. All of a sudden I'm allergic to my deodorant (which I have been using for quite some time now). My armpits are all rashy and hurt! Weird. Also too, bloody noses! My gosh, they are so frequent. I'm not sure if this is a winter thing or a pregnancy thing. It is not really out of character for me to get recurring bloody noses.

*Had a great day teaching today. I was really on my game today.

*Jeremy is gone to see that 3D Movie 'Avatar'. I told him a long time ago that he is not allowed to see movies alone since I always want to cry when I see someone alone at the movies. I hope he didn't go by himself! I know he's a big boy but that is just the saddest thing to me. But, there is no way I'm watching Avatar........not in 3D where people have reported getting motion sickness.

*Dogs are too cute right now, going to lay down and cuddle with them

*Officially 11 weeks pregnant now! :) Starting to show in my midsection, as my students keep reminding me ("ohhh Mrs. Lapointe you gettin' fat!").

Bye!

Exausted

Just getting back from the first day back to school. I had a pretty good day teaching, but the hours of duties just dragged.......I hate lunch duty, outside duty, hall duty, outside duty again, blah blah blah. I enjoyed teaching though, I had complete control of my classes and made myself clear on my expectations.

However, after having a pretty good day, I'M EXHAUSTED! Head hurts, back hurts, had two nose bleeds today. Yuck, but I guess I'm just getting back into the swing of things :). My kids were so happy to see me but I was just so tired so I had to fake a quick smile. It is good to be back though.

On a BAD note, a few kids said I'm getting fat! Kids say the craziest things........

School Tomorrow

I am actually excited for work tomorrow, much to my surprise. After the first week off, I was dreading the idea of vacation ever ending but now I feel like my time is up and it's time to get back to a schedule.

I spent today writing my 3rd quarter syllabi, lesson planning in detail for Monday and Tuesday of this week, and getting all my documents in order for tomorrow. I even packed a lunch and picked out my clothes! I like teaching when I'm super prepared and focused, it makes me feel really good. But there are days when my mind is cluttered and my lessons are just time passing by. There are sometimes when I am not organized and not following my syllabi and it feels like my class is chaos.

Here is what's going on with the University of Memphis: Ok, I want to finish my masters, of course. However, I'm having a tough time deciding what I shall do for this coming semester. Here is the catch 22: If I take two classes, I get financial aid and run the risk of being stressed out. Last semester I had 2 classes and 1 performing group and I just about died because both classes were so writing intensive. If I take one class, I have to pay cash for it and it will come out of our savings. If I don't take any classes then I will just be putting off the inevitable, BUT I will be the least stressed out. Not sure what I'm going to do. I'm leaning towards one or two classes but who knows. I have until January 14th to finally decide. What do you think? Right now I have 19 credits out of the 34 that I need to graduate so that means I am 56% of the way there!

I'm a little nervous to go back to school, but I'm ready to go in with a focused curriculum and a positive attitude!

PS......what the heck am I supposed to do if I get sick while I'm teaching? Erin and I said that I should just hurl, rinse my mouth out with mouthwash, and keep teaching. Make it no big deal. I think I will take a trash can outside my door and barf in that if I can't make it up the stairs to my bathroom. Either way, leaving the class unattended is not a good idea. Maybe I will assign one student from each class (a favorite student) to buzz the office if I get sick, we can have a code word so he/she knows what to do when I say that word. :) Hopefully, it doesn't happen at all but it is good to have a plan.

Too Funny

I guess I talk about barfing too much because now I'm getting ads on the side of my blog that are for bulimia and anorexia clinics. Oh my gosh that is so funny!

Big Shopping Day

I made myself go spend my gift cards today and I actually did pretty well. Got 3 pairs of pants, 5 shirts, a purse, and a bella band. All compliments of Christmas gift cards! So far, the bella band works like it is supposed to.

Gotta work Monday morning and my day starts with 15 minutes outside, ushering kids inside the building. It is going to be freezing and it is a terrible way to start my day. I HATE that duty more than I hate lunch duty! I'm not dreading work really. It feels like it is time to get back to business. I have a lot to plan for but I'm not worried just yet. I have all day Sunday to do school work.

Not sure what we are doing tonight, we have Julie & Julia to watch so we might snuggle and watch a movie. :)

So happy that Krisha is back! We went out running errands today and it was a lot of fun. I would have gone over to her house afterwards but I was feeling a wee bit sick and Andrew has a serious phobia of barfing. Even more serious than Erin's! I don't remember this, but I have been told that when I was a child I either threw up on Erin or really close to Erin. Poor Erin would always cry when someone barfed but I never noticed because I was too busy holding my hair back.

Sorry Erin!

Feel So Much Better

Omg after two entire days of feeling like I might barf, I finally did and I feel so euphoric right now. I feel like I could do anything right now! Such relief. Quite the change from last time I hurled. Last time I wanted to die afterwards but this time I feel so grateful that I will be able to sleep through the night without running to the bathroom.

Too much information? Well, this is how I want the blog to be. And its my blog and I will write what I wish.

And here is the kicker........guess what made me barf? I ate a cucumber. I barfed the same cucumber.

Happy New Year

Every year someone says, "I can't believe it's already ****" (insert year) and I always agree with them, even though I really don't share their feelings about the new year. I think because I'm a teacher, that the word 'year' has multiple meanings. It can mean calendar year or school year (I tend to follow the school year). It seems like when the actually new year comes around, it is just a halfway point for the school year.

Jeremy and I went to one of my band director friends house for a small get together/party. It was fun and nice to get out of the house. I got all dolled up and it felt nice to look nice, even though ALL MY CLOTHES are ill fitting.

On the note of weight gain, I got weighed at the ob/gyn office. It was terrible because they weighed me when I had my wallet, phone, keys, jacket and huge boots on! I asked if I could remove them but the nurse said it wasn't a big deal, but to me it was! I weighed 159 with all that stuff on. It was terrible. In real life, I've only gained 3-5 pounds but I think my weight is shifting and that's why my clothes are uncomfortable.

I had my second ob/gyn appointment and everything is going well. Got to hear the heartbeat again and see the baby napping. It was really nice to see. I was concerned because I had a yeast infection and a lot of discharge so it was good to know that everything I'm going through is normal. Because of the infection, I made an appointment sooner to meet with the doctor but everything is fine :).

We bought our first baby item today! It is a cheap little baby bather, which I think I'm going to return. It is cute and all but we got it because it was small and able to fit in the sink. Come to , find out, it doesn't fit in the sink (I hate false advertising!). It was fun buying something for our family.

I am getting tired of feeling bloated, full and nauseous. And that's all I have to say about that.

(above are pics from us going out on NYE and pics of the baby bather)
