Big News

Well, if you did not already know....... I am pregnant! 14 weeks.

Ryan and I are THRILLED. Blessed. Excited.

It's going to end up being a school year pregnancy. I found out the first week of school and am due at the end of the year: May 7th. Perfect timing for a teacher! 1st trimester is fall, 2nd trimester is winter, 3rd trimester is spring. Or as I like to think of it: cross country, indoor track, and track.

I am officially to the end of the 1st tri-semester. For those of you moms out there that were sick, I'm with you! Needless to say, teaching and coaching has been pretty brutal these last 6 weeks. Exhaustion and nausea (even throwing up a lot, which I never do!!) has really gotten the best of me. Good thing I have such a supportive husband because I could not have done it without him. He picked up my slack in coaching, and did more cooking, cleaning, and laundry than in our whole marriage combined. Thankfully, for him, I think I'm on the upswing.

We wanted to embarass some people and share their reactions when we told them we were pregnant. They did not know they were being recorded. We will go in order of increasing intensity:

The Hollidays (a typical Holliday reaction=excited, but not overly excited)


The Sealscotts (a typical Sealscott reaction=overly excited...and by the way, my parents are not alcoholics. It's heart medicine, right dad?)


Our Cross Country team (a typical high school girl reaction=enough said.)


6 weeks until we find out whether it's a girl or boy. :)
