Christmas...

Well what an interesting Christmas break I had or should I say we had... Let's see... it all started my last week of school. I should of known something was going to happen when I only had 7 kids at one point in the classroom when I usually have 17. So when 10 of them are out sick I should of known I was bound to catch their lovely germs.. and boy did I. The last day of school I headed straight home and David had to pick Matthew up from daycare. I literally slept until 6:30 and woke up only because I knew David had to get back to work. The next few days are somewhat of a blur... I had a fever on and off, severe sinus congestion and a cough that just would not quit. I slept as much as I could since David had to work and I had Matthew here at home. I started feeling somewhat better after Christmas day.
Of course the fun just doesn't end there.. While visiting our good friends Pete and Melissa, David somehow threw his back out. It was very interesting to all of a sudden see him on the floor. He had to miss a few days of work and go to the doctor for meds he was in so much pain and he could barely walk. SO I was trying to get better from what I had, David threw his back out and of course Matthew had to join in the mix by also getting a bit of a sinus congestion and fever for the 3 days David was home. It was very interesting having our whole household down for the count.

Although we are all better now (thank you GOD!) needless to say my two weeks of vacation where definitely not what I expected. All the great things I had planned on doing; like cleaning the shelves in the garage to make room for my school items in the guest room, emptying the guest room to get it ready for Matthew's room, cleaning my house did not get done at all. They are still goals I must accomplish before baby number 2 arrives but still I was so looking forward to getting somewhat ahead during the holidays. Oh well, God knows best... I know we will get it done eventually!

In other news we find out what we are having on January 19th... very exciting. We have begun the search for baby names. I think we may know what we will name the baby if its a girl... but we are still in search of a boy name. We have some ideas but I nothing set in stone. We will let you know what the big news are come the 19th...

Back at school has been interesting... of course my belly is a bit bigger than when I left 2 weeks ago so the kids are constantly staring and wanting to hug just to feel the belly. They are funny kids. One of my girls told me today " wow Mrs. D your belly sure is getting big... but at least you are not getting fat..." One of my very blunt boys was looking at the wedding photo I have on my desk and he said " Boy Mrs. D... you sure do look different in that photo than you do now.." I asked him what he meant by that and he said "well you have a big belly now and you don't look that skinny..." I know they do great things for my self esteem! Crazy kids... I am sure they will have more to say as the weeks go on. I will keep you updated.
