catching up

I had my first run-in with the pregnancy police last Wednesday. I was talking to a teacher friend of mine about my headaches and migraines and how they've come back since week 13 after not having a single one for the first trimester. I told her the doctor prescribed me Midrin and that caffeine helps sometimes too. In walks another teacher and starts chewing me out. HARD. Tells me I need to start thinking about my baby (hello, like I don't always?!) and how all this is going to make the baby's head wired wrong and so on and so forth. I told her that I'm going to trust my doctor and what he tells and she starts in on me again about how none of this is good for the baby. I walked out the door at that point, saying, "And the baby's mom, laying in bed in pain so bad that she throws up until 4 in the morning, then has to go to work on 2 hours of sleep isn't good for the baby either, so I'll take the pills and ceffeine." Next time, I'll tell her to be glad she won't have to have my "mis-wired kid" in her kindergarten class because there's no way I'd chose to send my kid to Encampment if she's still here teaching! She's a grump anyway and is ALWAYS "right" about anything and everything.

I went to Salt Lake City Wed. night-Saturday last week. WHAT A BLAST! I had so much fun. I found some great bargains while doing some shopping, too. A $30 yellow newborn sweater at Baby Gap for $8, some maternity clothes on sale, and on Saturday coming home we found the Outlet Malls in Park City where I found more great deals. More maternity clothes, and a green sweater and Christmas onesie at Osh Kosh B'Gosh for $11 total, and a sleeper and 5 washcloths for $11 total also.

While at the conference, Mom and I got to meet Keith Lockhart, the conductor of the Boston Pops Symphony. He's awesome! We also got to sit 20 feet in front of the Army Herald Trumpets, which only presidents of the US get to do. Those herald trumpets play so great! That was an awesome part of the trip. We also got to see a concert by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Oak Ridge Boys!! It was recorded to put on TV this summer, so make sure you keep your eyes out for that and watch it! What an amazing experience that was!

Josh left early yesterday morning for the week- he took the 8th graders from Saratoga to the Teton Science School. I can tell the dogs miss him- they look all over the house for him in the morning. I miss him too. :(

I thought maybe my morning sickness was going away, since I didn't throw up for 5 days. But it came back this morning. Maybe it's a fluke. Keep your fingers crossed. :)
