    How are you feeling? Do you think the baby is another boy or  do you think a girl?

    Hey!!!  I'm feeling GREAT!  Sleepy still, but really great : )  I'm not sure what I'm having (boy/girl).  It's much easier to think boy (since I carried one to full term, and we were 100% prepped for a boy)....  But, who knows?  I DO know that my skin isn't breaking out, I'm craving the same as before  (salt, pickles, hot peppers), I don't look preggo at all from the back, but from the front you can see a little bump (which just looks like I ate a bagel), and from the side you can notice the bump MUCH more (all this - in OLD WIVES TALE - points to BOY : )  But - who knows?!?!?

     

    How are YOU feeling?!?

  • Glad to hear that you're feeling great!!! Your OWT made me giggle. I hope you do have a boy. Are you guys planning to find out?

    I'm doing well. Enjoying my summer off. I so do not want to go back to school in Sept. I don't feel like organizing and setting up my classroom.

    Yeah - I'm glad I'm feeling well too : )  Those OWT's make me crazy!!!  lol...  We are planning to find out, and I can't wait!  We have an u/s next Thursday (one day before 15 weeks), so I think that's too early - then we have another on 9/3 (at 18 weeks) - which is 2 days b4 my birthday - - - hopefully I'll get a birthday surprise!!!

    LOVE that you have summers off - SO jealous!  My dream is to become an ElEd teacher - I actually started my masters while I was preggo with Jack - got one class in & had to stop (the whole stillbirth thing put it on hold).  I really want to get certified though...  and possibly become a teacher's aid in the mean time.  Do you suggest a certain route to complete the cert?  Or, do you know of any schools who hire assistants (with only a bachelors in public relations - not education)?

    "Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies. God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut

  • I remembered about the whole Masters thing because we were actually emailing each other when you got pregnant w/ Jack. That's so weird that your B-day is the 5th. That's when we had our Big U/S- last yr. Most schools will hire aides without the certification. The pay isn't that good though. Perhaps you can send your resume out to various districts. What school did you start your Masters? I ended up finishing mine last Summer at Cabrini. Let me know if I can help you in any way. Take care.

    Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Now I totally remember going back & forth - - - you really helped me alot!!!  Thanks for that, BTW : )  9/5 is a good day : )  I do know the pay isn't great....  HOW "not great" - I'm not sure...  But, if, say there was a daycare on site, with reduced cost for employees, it could end up okay.  I don't HAVE to make THAT much.  Plus, I'd love to get my foot in the door & get back to my plan to teach!  I started my Masters at Chestnut Hill College............  I'll look around and see what I find (although, this is something I'd do in a year or more).  If I have any questions, I'll let you know!

    Thanks Carolina : )
