Tuesday Truths

1. The truth  is... school is going really well for me so far. My students are not bad, I just can't find enough time to do things that I need to get done. I guess I'm going to have to stay late one day soon.

2. The truth is... I hate staying at work past 3:30p.m. I get there around 6:45a.m. Staying late is a hard thing for me.

3. The truth is... I am totally in love with my goofball Jack Jack. Who couldn't love such a cutie?

On a side note, I love when he sleeps like this. It is 10 times better when he starts to twitch in this position.

4. The truth is... Jack Jack is a mixed dog. We don't know what he is mixed with, but we think that he is part cat. He acts like one a lot of the time.

5. The truth is... although labor really scares me, I'm glad to know that I have the privilege of carrying the baby. I am given the opportunity to know my children better than Josh will ever experience.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I love it when Josh gets home and Jack Jack runs to get love from him.

2. The truth is... Little Miss Victoria hates it when school is out. She wakes up and moves A LOT!

3. The truth is... I bought the tickets for Sea World, made the hotel reservations, and bought tickets for the Penguin Experience tour at Sea World. I can't wait to go to San Diego in October!

4. The truth is... School is going okay so far. I bought some new shoes and I hate wearing them while trying to dress up. It feels so weird!

5. The truth is... My sister's friend is giving a birthing class tonight. I can't wait to go with my sister (although she isn't pregnant). I don't mind, its some support and time with my sister I rarely get to see!

First Day of School

Here is a picture of me on my first day of school. It was actually taken at 8 a night after Josh got home from work but its still the first day. I normally get a new outfit for the first day and since I'm pregnant, buying one didn't make sense. I wore maternity clothes although I didn't quite fit into them. Oh well.

Here I am at 22 weeks. I know, I'm still really small. I do know that Tori is doing well and she tells me all the time by the kicking and moving. She woke me up on Thursday before my alarm went off. She was ready for school... I wasn't.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I start school yesterday. I'm already looking forward to October Break. (I blame it on the penguins and a last trip with Josh before Tori arrives.)

2. The truth is... I wanted a NEW first day of school outfit. I found it pointless to buy normal clothes so I wore a new maternity shirt and pants... even though I don't quite fit into them.

3. The truth is... My feet are not used to walking so much. They are in some major pain right now.

4. The truth is... My sister's friend is doing a birth class tonight. I'm so excited to go with my sister, although I still have 5 months.

5. The truth is... I need to clean my house... do I have any volunteers? I am not sure if I have time to do it.

Pregnancy

Here are the only two belly shots that I have taken so far. I'm not very big so you can't really tell. Honestly, I think that I just look fat. Hopefully it will grow more over the next few weeks.

San Diego

San Diego has the BEST weather EVER! That way the highlight of the trip. I actually went with about 20 other teachers at my school for an AVID conference. We are in class all day but at night it was a free for all. It was 10 times better than last year when I went to Sacramento. Monday night my friend Robyn and I went to Sea Port Village and had dinner and went shopping. We had the best view from our restaurant. I felt bad because mostly everything there is seafood and I can't have that. They had a few normal things so I got that.

View from our table.

I have to add in something right here because I find it weird. The restaurant that we went to was on the bay (over the water) and it was freezing! They had heaters on to help keep people warm. Can you believe it? Heaters in July. That is so weird to me (because the weather here in July is WAY too hot). Oh! I also have to mention that Sea Port Village had a carriage ride and the carriage looked like Cinderella's. I may have to force Josh on that in October because it was so awesome!

Creepy fish thing. I thought that it was really interesting and scary I had to get a picture.

Wednesday we went over to Old Town. It has a lot of little shops and museums. The only issue is that the museums were all closed by the time we got there. We ended up just walking around and shopping and then had dinner.

In front of the school house in Old Town. My coworker Robyn is standing next to me.

In the well next to the school house. It was full of dirt, not water.

I'm sorry that I didn't take much pictures. I like to take them but I think that the group I was with thought that I was crazy. Hey! I took more than I did last year. Since we didn't have a car we had to ride the trolley. That was an interesting experience! Going to San Diego made me even more excited to go back in October with Josh. WOHOO! I can't wait (about 10 weeks away)!

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... Josh went to work with my today to help set up my classroom. It ended up being a good thing because the way my furniture is placed it looks awesome! I would have never thought of doing it the way he did it.

2. The truth is... I really don't want to go back to school next week. We start on Monday and I am nowhere near ready for it.

3. The truth is... We need to take Jack Jack to the vet. He will randomly barf and we can't figure out why. We tried changing the food but that didn't work.

4. The truth is... Josh has less than a year left (about three quarters) until he gets his AA degree. That means he can possibly get a better paying job! YEA!

5. The truth is... Josh and I watch cartoons. Adult shows stink. Most of the time we just have them on, we never really pay attention to them.
