Week 3 of bedrest- and hopefully my last

So I'm starting to feel like that guy in About a Boy who measures his days in 15 m inute units. Showering (the highlight of the day)- 2 units. Eating- 1 unit. Waling dogs- 1 unit. Flipping channels-4 units. America's Next top Model marathons- about 20 units.

I'm hopefully going back to work next week but that means I can stop worrying so much. 80% of miscarriages happen in the 1st trimester. 1/3 of women bleed during the 1st trimester- half of those are fine. 70% of women who miscarry once will have a normal pregnancy the next time. Just thought you'd all like to know. A little more typing will take up another unit- so there you go!

Love you girls!

P.S. Just a reminder that Sarah Mol's play is on the 16th &17th of May. Anyone still planning on attending? I'll have Christmas breakfast ready for you ;o)

Grace Edwards Is Having a Baby...

Grace called me last week to tell me she was pregnant. The weird thing is that after talking with Molar a few days later we realized that Megan and Grace have the same due date! And... that due date which is Megan's birthday is also Grace's birthday. How weird is that!? Just thought I would share that.

This is just to say...

That I love you girls very much and hope you're all well.


That is all.

Update

So.... went to the doctor yesterday and they made me go to the hospital to get another ultrasound and my cute lil' kidney bean of a baby still has a heartbeat and has grown since the last ultrasound. Happy news! And, I'm further along than my original ultrasound showed. I'm 9 weeks today. The baby is an inch long, has eyelids and ears, fingers, and toes. (Although in the ultrasound just looks like a blob that has a tiny flickering heartbeat.) And more good news- the doctor put me on "modified bedrest" which means, I should take it easy, lay around most of the time, but I can do whatever I feel up to. And not go to work. I think I'm only going to take a week off, although he wants me to take 3. I don't want to take advantage- I just need some mental health time before I start telling kids I hate them- which I was about to yesterday. (love you, jen!) Thanks so much for all the prayers! I'll be sure to keep you posted.

Oh- and I lost my cell phone. I swear I'm getting dumber. So, if you'd like to chat, my home # is (609) 568-6036.

Please pray...again

So I made it to 8 weeks- yay! I didn't make it that far in my last pregnancy. BUT.... I'm bleeding again- I hate my life. I havee to go to the doctor today at 1:30 which is making life increasingly difficult to keep missing work and finding subs. So please pray that everything is still ok! Thanks, girls!

Thought you all might want to know...

That I have no school for a week. WOOT for Spring Break. It came not a moment too soon - I think I actually said the words, "I hate you" to one of my students. I'm a horrible teacher sometimes.

Love you all and hope you're well!

Ethan broke up with me...via text message.

and this is what Jessie is emailing to him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAL!

Hot firemen!

So, I was taking Zola out for a walk when I smelled smoke in the hallway leading outside. I thought it might be coming from the garbage area, but alas I didn't see anything odd.


Well...I walked Zola and came back in and was on the phone with my mom and I smelled it again...and I was walking up the stairs my neighbor came in and I asked him if he smelled anything and he did...I asked if I should call the super...

I called Pedro, our stellar super, and of course he wasn't home.

After much coaxing my mom and roommate and I decide to call 911. 3 minutes later there were 2 fire trucks speeding towards our apt.

and 1 more minute later they were running up the stairs and banging on everyone's apartment door.

they didn't find anything, but said they smelled something when they came in...and if we smelled anything again to call. they were hot.

and so not mad. I told my mom she should date the guy I was talking to and she was down.

so, I feel save. Thank you New York's Bravest.
