It's been awhile...

So I haven't felt the need to post anything lately, and I really can't think of anything but aimless thoughts to fill you in with. So thats what you are getting today.

• The main thing I have been thinking about lately is the big question of BOY/GIRL? I know deep down in my heart I am hoping for a boy, but I don't feel as certain about that as I did last go round. Here are my thoughts- If it is a boy, I will be estatic to get to carry on Josh's last name and to have the little hunting buddy Josh NEEDS, as well as getting to have a Momma's boy, since Maddie is so hard core a Daddy's girl. On the other hand, if it is God's will for me to have another girl, I will have way less to worry about. Since my children will be sharing a room I will have very minor changes (more like updates) to make to the room. I will get to use all those WONDERFUL outfits that I hated packing away when Maddie outgrew them, and I will not have to worry about the circumcision (which honestly kind of scares me, probobly just the unknown). There are several other reasons I have been debating about in my head, but those are my main thoughts.
• I LOVE FALL!! I used to say that Summer was my favorite season of the year, and yes it does have the best attribute any teacher could ask for (summer's off). However, the weather during Fall just makes me smile every morning when I wake up. It is cool, the colors are beautiful, and there are 2 great holidays in this time period (Halloween and Thanksgiving) Both of which I enjoy more than I used to because I love to dress Maddie up, and I cannot get enough time with my extended family these days, so Thanksgiving is Marvolous!
• I go back on the 5th for my braces to get adjusted....too bad its on a Monday, because if I am sore I will have to endore an entire week at school in pain. :(
• I am back to 22 kids again this year at school....I'm not in the mood for griping, so Im just going to leave it at that.

Thats about all I have for now, I'm sure after I find out what K-Baby's gender is my thoughts will become open for the many other things that I can talk about.

Doctors Appointment, Sickness, and Football...

• So Thursday I went in for my 16 week checkup hoping that he would take a quick peek of the baby, however, he did not. I did get to hear the heartbeat for the first time though, and Im not sure, but it sounded fast too me. I know that wives tale has been proven to not be accurate, however its all I have to go with for now, so a girl is on my mind. It is weird how I refer to the baby. When I talk about my baby in the belly in single terms I call it a "him/he", however when I talk about Maddie and the baby I say "the girls". Well I guess I will have to wait until October 1st to find out. My special sono is scheduled at 3'oclock that day, and I am going to go crazy until then!
• A few days ago my throat felt a little scratchy but I thought to myself, surely I cant already have strep throat, its only September. I usually get it more in the Nov and Dec time frame. Well last night after coming home from work I started to feel the lump I usually get, then had a hard time sleeping cause it hurt to swallow. I woke up on the verge of tears wishing I didnt have to go to work, cause its hard to keep a class of 21 in check when you cant communicate with them very well. However, since I will be taking time off for the baby I dont have many days to spare, so I made myself get up and go to work. I almost fell asleep in the car on the way to work...not so good. Then I struggled all day talking to the kids and trying to put on my happy face, because it was Grandparents day and we had over 150 Grandparents come to eat lunch with our kids. I survived through the day...barely. After school was over I called my doctor and told him all my symptoms and my history of having Strep every year for the past 5 or 6 years, and he was nice enough to just send in a prescription for a Z-Pac. I am crossing my fingers that it works, because I cant stand another day like today. So I went to Wal-Mart to pick up my prescription, and it was a nightmare! SAISD switched insurances this year and I still did not have my card. Well I thought they could just call it in and see what plan I was on. I got in line, they said come back in 30 minutes. So I did...waited in that line for 25 minutes for them to tell me that they couldnt do it cause I didnt have my insurance card! They sent me to the other line, by this point I was miserable and upset and I actually started to cry in Wal-Mart. The poor cashier was looking at me and didnt know what to say. She said the only way I could get it today was to pay the full amount which was 30 something dollars or else I would have to wait on my prescription card. I was so upset, but finally I asked if they could just call it in and this other guy acted like it was a major inconvience and said it would take awhile, to have a seat. It took 10 minutes and I got my prescription for 10 dollars. Its not my fault Blue Cross cant send out our cards in a timely manner. I did feel like an idiot for crying, but I just lost it. Between being pregnant, sick, and very tired I had no strength to hold it in.
• I have been really wanting to get to a football game!!! Josh worked last week, so I didnt go to one. I would have if I knew that my family was going to Wink to watch Shea and Seth. So I talked to my cousin Tina and she said they were going to the Wall v. Ozona game tonight, and I was excited cause it just happened to be homecoming night and it worked out perfectly since Josh was working again. However, she called today and said they were not going, and I do not feel like getting out anyway. Luckily its raining like crazy and there is a good chance it would not have been that enjoyable anyhow. I would have loved to see my friends, but also would not have wanted to get them or their children sick with Strep. So needless to say, Josh will be off next Friday and WE WILL BE GOING SOMEWHERE TO WATCH FOOTBALL!!!!
