Due to Jamie's command I am now opening the bidding. What are you bidding on?!?!?!?! Well we should find out next Wed. what lil'bit is.... the question is what do you think it is?!?!?! I will give you some fun things I have already done. The Chinese cal. says boy. My cousin's cal. (don't know what kind) says girl and hers has yet to be wrong.... in the 10 years she has had it. According to the morning sickness, because I have been sick, there is a scientific higher chance of it being a girl. It was in a scientific journal that one of my students did her current event on a few weeks ago. I have not done the drano test..... and have no desire to. I have not been really craving either way one day it is sweet the other salty. The hair on my legs do grow at 900mph these days too. I have been taking the iron pills because I still have a hard time with meat (beef) but no problems with BBQ, chicken or turkey. What do we want? A healthy kid. We do however have more hand-me-down options if it is a girl.
Jamie---------boy
Jennifer (not me)---girl
Sherry-------girl
Julie--------girl
Vanessa-----girl
Tracie-------girl
Crystal------girl
Please keep a friend of mine in your prayers, I work with her husband. Her link is the Jennifer and Michael one. She is a first time mom to be and has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She has been trying to control it with her diet but oh my gosh have you seen what all you have to eat?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? She has also been sick since day 1. They went for their 4D ultrasound and they couldn't see anything. They go back either this or next Wed. to try again. She doesn't post very often but if you have a minute stop by her blog.

What the heck?
Why do they measure how long you are preggo in weeks? I am at 17 weeks, so this morning I was thinking wow that is over 4 months so I only have like 5 2/3 months to go. So I am almost half way there but 40-17 is 23 so I guess it is farther than I thought........ Do most people have their babies at 40 weeks or earlier? Just wondering....... Oh and 9 days till we hopefully get to see what lil'bit is so we can finally give this kid a name!!!!!!!!

You know you are preggo when....
I just thought I would share some of my stories and reactions of my students........
1. You know you are preggo when you make a special trip to Walmart to get 3 things...... calcium, nose spray and hair dye but you some how manage to grab the sale $2 bag of chips on the way by.........
2. When people ask you what the baby is you want to roll your eyes and tell them... "human"
3. After having to call a student's parent about a bad grade they suddenly want to know when I go on leave to have the baby.
4. One of my third graders informed me that not only is she convinced the baby is a boy but also says "Watch out, they squirt!" - Needless to say she has a little bro at home.
5. My first graders want me to show them every week how many inches the baby in my tummy is.
6. When my new students this year think I am so strict it must be because of the baby till my students from last year let them know quickly that I am this way every year.
7. Volleyball player gets hurt in a game and is laying on the floor bawling (she is tough as nails so I was really worried). The official blows me onto the court to check on her, I run across the court get to her and say "Take a deep breath and tell me exactly where it hurts." She replies " You ran with the baby!" Me "What?" She "(SOBS) You ran with the baby! (SOBS)" Me "The baby is fine it has lots of cushin' in there." She " I'm ok, (SOBS) I can play." Needless to say I took her out and she has torn tissue in her shoulder and the doc benched her for a week and a half.......
8. My students like to point to people holding babies and say "That will be you pretty soon..." I remind them I am way prettier than the person they are referring to and that my child could not possibly be as tan as the one the other person is holding.
9. When you eat as though every meal is your last opportunity to eat for the week.
10. When every time you leave your house you check to see that there is at least 1 full pack of crackers in your purse.
11. When you look at every person that passes you that is holding a baby and think "Dear God, please don't let mine be ugly."
12. When you walk down the baby isle in Walmart and think "Do people really spend money on this?" "Do they really use this?" " What the heck is that and how does it work?"
13. When you look at baby furniture and think..." My bed didn't cost that much, what makes you thin I would spend that much on my kid?" I know we all want better things for our kids than we had but seriously I saw a baby bed. BED ONLY, it doesn't convert or anything it can only be a baby bed.... for $1,299....... I laughed my way out of the store. I would now like to point out I bought my bedroom furniture, armoir, dresser and night stand... all solid wood for $110.
14. When you germ-x everything in your room at the end of the day and give clorox wipes to the kids that don't feel good to wipe off their chair and table when they leave the room...
15. When you put on a pair of pants and think "Didn't these fit last week?"
16. When you know where every restroom in Calera, Columbiana (sp), Alabaster, Helena and every stop and back road from here to Oxford is located.
17. When you can get in the restroom and out all while holding your breath to keep from throwing up.
18. When you talk to your volleyball team after a game but make them stand at least 3 feet from you to keep from gagging.
19. When other teachers come running down the hallway to tell you not to go into the lunchroom because some kid in K3 just puked and it has not been cleaned up yet.
20. When you have banned all highschool students in your lunch time from bringing anything that smells like seafood...... or has any strong odor.....

THEY WON!!!!!
I feel like such a proud parent. The girls called to share their excitement, mainly because this was a regional game. They told me that they coached themselves and reminded me that when they mess up I don't always correct the problem for them. That I ask them what they did wrong and ask them how they think they could fix it. They said that every time they messed up they asked themselves why and how could they fix it. They said "Coach, its like we had you in our heads." While that makes me feel so great I hope and pray that it is not only volleyball that I can get through to them. I would love to an instrument of God that could be "in their heads"
I don't feel so good.....
Well it all started Sat. morning I didn't fell so hot but not really bad either. But I should have known something was wrong when I took a 2 hour nap Sat. afternoon. Well, Sat. night it hit full force knocking me on my butt. What is it you ask? Wouldn't I like to know. I am guessing it is some sort of cold...... it is that whole get under the covers and shiver for 10-15 min before you finally get warm...... I decided to take today off, I had to call around last night to get a sub. The man who helps me coach volleyball is taking the team to Wilcox today.... it is in Camden, about a 3 hour drive from the school. This is an area game so it is one we have to play. I feel like a bum for missing a game, because in 10 years of coaching I have NEVER missed a game. But it is not about me anymore. To be honest if I didn't have lil'bit I would have just gone on but I don't think it is safe to run a fever for as long as I have. I put a call into the doc and they are supposed to call me back. I think I was on hold for 30 min just trying to get through... but I guess since it is Monday their office is being flooded with calls..... So I sit at home and wait for the return call....... I am thankful that my fever has gone down las night it was at 99.9 and today it is only at 99. My concern today isn't the high fever but having benn running a fever since Sat........ I know if this wasn't my first kid I don't think I would be worried......

In the world of....... me
Things have been quite crazy this week. We had a tournament last weekend, where we didn't win any games. That being said keep in mind my starters on my varsity are a 1 junior, 1 sophomore, 1 freshman, 1 8th grader and 2 7th graders. They did play hard though and we served well so that is all I can ask. I can't wait till this group gets older as they play together they should become a strong team. One thing I admire about my young players is they are afraid of nothing. Yesterday at practice they wanted me to hit balls at them as hard as I could and if they didn't get the pass to the target they wanted to do it till they got it right. What heart for such youngins!!!!!
The "official" ballot count came in Tues and Eric won by his 2 votes.... now we are just praying that the DOJ approves the new district lines. While Eric is not in it for the money there is some pay for being on city council and the extra would come in handy with lil'bit on the way.
