Summer School

Summer school will soon be over. Five weeks of intensive algebra - two classes, nearly back to back. This amounted to four hours a day in the classroom, with two hours for office availability and then grading/planning stuff. It meant that the yard (aka weeds) got way ahead of me, and that I was often stressed out trying to juggle everything. I still have 20 exams to grade, final grades to post, and then I am DONE. I should be grading them now instead of dallying on the internet.

Pregnancy stuff has been okay. Problems have included headaches and recently I've had what seems like a return to afternoon nausea, only it's different. It's more heartburny and burpy, but still in a throw-uppy way. And I've been found napping around 5 pm because I am exhausted. So the second trimester is not all roses and energy just yet.

I'm also no longer able to sleep on my tummy, and am working on the side sleeping. I wake up on my back all the time - which my doctor said is okay for now even though the books say NO BACK SLEEPING. She says there will come a time when my body will object to back sleeping, just like it now objects to front sleeping. And you can see why it is objecting:



Still not totally clued into the fact that a baby will be the result of all this, but becoming more of a believer. I'm looking forward to the day that I feel him/her move inside me.
