19 Weeks 3 Days

It's hard to believe we've made it all the way to 19 weeks.  Seems like only a few days ago I was headed to the doctor for my 8 week appointment!  It's been quite a wild ride here in North Alabama for the past few weeks, which is why there has been no update.  Between tornadoes, no electricity, Travis graduating and school stuff I just haven't had the energy to blog.  However, we had very little damage due to the tornadoes (just a big tree uprooted in our front yard).  We went 6 days without electricity but vacationed in good ol' Huntingdon, Tennessee with my parents.  I'm happy to announce I have been recommended for tenure and it looks like Tony will also be rehired next year.  And, can you believe I have a brother who is a college freshman at UTM. 

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 19 weeks 3 days
Gender: we will find out next Wednesday!!!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Absolutely not one ounce gained since last visit!
Maternity Clothes: I really need more!!
Sleep: It keeps getting worse!  Sleep is amazing until about midnight and then it's almost miserable!!
What I Miss: Energy!
Cravings: Juice, fresh fruit, superhero popsicles, shaved ice!
Symptoms: headaches, no energy and a growing bump
Best Moment of the Week: We had our 8th grade picnic today for band and choir students and all of my girls wanted to take pictures with the "mommy to be and baby".  Then they loaded them on facebook.....all of them labeled "me with the mommy to be and baby".  I love my students!
"Baby Change Moment" of the Week:  Meltdown in Target.  I am overwhelmed with the number of crying babies that are always in the baby section and the fact that Tony wants to buy everything NOW!

**Sorry the picture is bad!  It was taken with my iPhone since I lost the other camera in the move to our new house!
