ultrasound today!!!

We had our complete ultrasound today. Our little boy is quite the show off. He was doing summer saults, sucking his thumb, and playing peek a boo. He was waving his fist at us, as if he was telling us to leave him alone. We already love him so much!!!

I am so glad it is spring break!!! I have a week off and nothing that I have to do !!!!!!!!!

16 week appointment!!!!!!

We had our 16 week appointment today!!!! At first, she was having a little trouble finding the heartbeat b/c the baby kept moving around. So, she sent us down the hall to get an ultrasound. The tech found it right away!!! 154 bpm!!! Then she said ohhh!!! We were like what was that. She said well I think I can tell the sex, do you want to know or do you want to wait for your next appointment. Pat and I looked at each other and said OF COURSE WE WANT TO KNOW!!!!!! Right when she said that, the legs closed!! So I got up and moved around a little and went to the bathroom then came back. Then we saw it!!!! He is proud of what he's got. IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!
We are really excited!! I had an inking that it was a boy at first and then the heart rate was high so it put some doubt in my mind!! He is already a tricky little boy.

food poisoning on top of morning sickness...not a good combo

So after being up all night friday night, We determined it was probably something other than morning sickness. I started throwing up about 1am and didn't stop until about noon on saturday. Then I thought I was feeling a little better and tried some chicken broth but I threw that up as well. I kept trying to take my anti-nausea meds but couldn't keep it down.
After some gatorade, I was finally able to keep some broth down about 6pm last night.
I can't remember the last time I have been that sick. I think pat thought he was going to have to take me to the ER. He said if you don't keep this broth down (the one at 6pm) I am taking you to the ER.
I was still a little weak this morning, so Pat let me stay home while he went to church. I am doing pretty good now. I kept down some soup and I am feeling a lot stronger.
I don't think I will be eating chinese at the mall for a while.

no school again and 12 week appointment!!!!

I can't believe we were out of school again today!!!! That gave me a chance to make-up my 12 week appointment. I called to reschedule (they closed tuesday due to weather) and they asked If I could come today. I said you betcha!!!!!! Everything is going great. Pat couldn't make it on such late notice but the doctor let me call him so he could hear the heartbeat!!! It was a strong heartbeat of 160!!!! We are so happy that everything is going well. It looks like we will be back in school tomorrow. I am getting a little bored.

icey weather!!

**** UPDATE**** NO SCHOOL WEDNESDAY!!!! YAY!!!!
Maybe I will get out of my PJ's tomorrow (or not :)!!)


I am so glad to have a day off of work today but now I am feeling a little trapped. Pat took the four wheel drive vehicle to work and gave me strict orders to not go outside. I was suppose to have my 12 week appointment today but they cancelled all appointments. I was really looking forward to checking on the baby today but I guess it will have to wait. I'm hoping school will be cancelled again tomorrow but I am so bored!!!!!!!!!

OH BABY!!!!!!!!!

We went to the doctor today and it is confirmed...... I'm 8 weeks pregnant!!!!!! We saw the baby and a strong heartbeat. Our due date is August 8,2009!!!!! We had told ourselves we were not going to get excited until we saw the baby. Last time, we had an empty sac, a baby never developed. To Chellie and Nate and Amy and Luke sorry for having to get up and go puke sunday morning. Thats the routine these days. Also, I hear a congrats is in order to Amy and Luke. I'm so excited for you guys.
Prayers are much appreciated. The doctor said that everything looks perfect but until 13 weeks I'm going to be a little uneasy!!!!!

crazy day!!

Oh man! The kids were so excited about the possibility of snow. They were so crazy!
Add the speech therapist being gone (tuesdays all my kids have speech and I get a 30 min break, which I desperately needed today) two kids forgetting their meds , indoor reccess and a sick TA.
To quote one my of students, "Today was upsane!" upsane aka insane.
I was suppose to have a meeting tonight but it was cancelled, now I wish I would've signed up for the refresher. I really wanted to go but I didn't think I would be out of my meeting in time.

Two of our reg ed friends came in b/c they couldn't go to PE (one broken arm and one twisted ankle). They said "Mrs. O'Bryan do you have a headache?" I said " As a matter of a fact I do, why do you ask!" They said "b/c we have only been in here 5 min and we have a headache!"

By the end of the day, I was about to pull my hair out but then I got hugs and kisses and I love yous as they got on the bus and I remembered why I do this everyday!!!
