Is it really almost July?

Isn't it amazing how quickly time goes by? I cannot believe it's almost July--half of 2008 is over, people! Where has the time gone??

I'm currently on my 6 week summer break and it hasn't come at a better time. If you don't already know, I'm 14 weeks pregnant and man, has it taken a toll on me! I'm not complaining, though. Honestly, I've had it pretty easy compared to other women. My first trimester consisted of nausea, but only when I was hungry (which was often), so I felt like I was constantly eating! I even had to keep saltines in my bedside table so that when I woke up, I could eat a few so keep from being nauseous while getting ready for work. My first trimester also consisted of EXTREME fatigue...I still don't know how I got through my day at work. All I wanted to do everyday was put my head down and nap. When I came home from work, I'd immediately change my clothes and take a nap with Bella on my couch...sometimes for 2 hours! I'd even go to bed as early as 8:30pm or 9pm...sleep for a full 9 hours, and still want to nap.

Now that I'm in my second trimester, the nausea is practically all gone and my energy is back. However, I swear I have to pee about 10+ times a day. I'm not really showing yet, and because the symptoms are gone, it doesn't really feel real. Makes me want to pee on the stick again just to make sure. But the pants are slowly getting tighter and the mood swings are in full force. (poor Jerome) So for now, I'm enjoying sleeping on my back and stomach, still fitting in (most) of my clothes, and eating most of everything...no aversions, yet!

Life is good for us. Jerome is working crazy hours (I swear he's at work more than he's at home!) but he's enjoying it. I am on summer beak, but go into my classroom for a few hours a few times a week to get ready for the new year. I will be teaching 6th grade next year, so I totally need to get ready!

Oh, yesterday, Jerome and I were at the Verizon store and we both got new phones. I *almost* got the Blackberry Curve, but ultimately decided that I'm really not that important enough to need a Blackberry. We had to add another line to our Family Plan so that we have a local number...my work was complaining to me that everytime they had to call me, it's long distance for them. So instead of getting a basic landline that costs $40/month, (I don't know why it's so much here) we added a new line to our account for $9.99/month. So Jerome got the Motorola Razr2 and I got the new LG Decoy. It's a slide phone, so we'll see how much I like it. It comes with an attached bluetooth!! Two for one, baby!

Alright, the baby is hungry, so I have to find something to eat. I'm craving salads, so I'm easy peasy. Until my nexy bloggy blog...
