A little bit of this, a little bit of that!

Wow, this heat is killer! The one thing that I didn't miss while we were in California for sure! We got back late Saturday night and boy did it feel good to be home and sleep in our own bed. We did enjoy being there and spending time with my Aunt Connie and her boyfriend Nick. Lots of things to do there and it was a lot different than TN. We had a full schedule while were there which did take a toll on me being pregnant. I was very tired and got sick several nights. It didn't stop me though. We went out on Nick's boat several times, had dinner at fancy restaurants, took tours around San Diego and went to the beach. We did a little shopping at this Outlet mall right on the border of Mexico. It was really neat to see how close Mexico was. We actually stayed in Coronado which is an island right outside of San Diego. Super nice place. Everyone walks everywhere or rides bikes. They stay fit with all of the activities they do. Franz and I could barely keep up. We are used to driving every where and it is way too hot to do anything outside in Jackson. lol It was over all a great trip. 


                 Here is a picture from our trip: Franz, me, and Connie 

So onto my pregnancy updates. :)  Still have sickness, headaches, and extreme tiredness. I crave mashed potatoes and gravy all the time. I also crave my usual pasta and I am loving fruit. We go tomorrow for a checkup and hear the baby's heartbeat. I am really excited and hope that everything goes well. Still counting down until we find out if we will be buying blue or pink. I would like to go to the Sneak Peak place but I don't want to spend the extra money when we will find out a few weeks later. Franz said I can wait. :) For some reason I am feeling like it is a girl right now but I have been back and forth. At first, I thought boy and now I think girl. No real reason it is just a feeling. I had a dream while I was in Cali that I was having a girl. I woke up and told Franz and immediately got a text from Franz's sister, Gretchen, that she just had a dream we were having a girl. How weird is that?! Maybe that is why I am thinking that. It is a little strange though. Gretchen had a dream that we were pregnant the night we took our test and hadn't told a soul. Maybe I should believe her dreams. lol I get more and more excited every day and can't wait to be a mommy! 


So, school starts back in a couple weeks and I am getting kind of excited! A little anxious though because I have a lot to get done before I leave for Christmas break. 6+ weeks of lesson plans for my maternity leave and 6 evaluations with my principal. I have great teacher friends who have offered to help me already so I know I can get through this. I have got to get busy on my classroom as well as other things I want to have done. I hope this year is as great as my first year of teaching. I was sooooo lucky to have such a wonderful year. I pray that I have a good group of students again. :)


Well, I am getting off here and will update maybe next week.
