It's hard to believe that it's only been a week since I last posted. It feels like ages ago now. School started on Wednesday, so things have been much more busy lately. The school year has gotten off to a very smooth start though.
My students were very happy to hear my news, especially the eighth graders. Some were, however, a little upset. One said to me, "Wait. That means you have to go on maternity leave, right?" I nodded. "You can't do that, Mrs. Sherrod! This is your last year with us. Can't you come and teach just the eighth graders? You can bring the baby with you!" I smiled and laughed a little. Then I told her that I would actually be doing that on some days.
So the question of the week seems to be, "How are you feeling? Are you having any morning sickness?" The answer, thankfully, is no. I have not had a day of morning sickness. There have been a few brief moments of nausea, but they've quickly passed after I got something to eat. I consider that to be a huge blessing and, prayerfully, it will stay that way.
My biggest complaint right now is fatigue. Friends have told me that pregnant women tend to get their energy back during the second trimester though. It's getting close to that time for me, and my energy levels have already been picking up. And that's without coffee too. (I never thought I could live without my coffee in the morning!) All I'm drinking is milk and water now.
On the bright side, I started a new exercise class next week. It's called Body Flow, and it combines Tai Chi, Pilates, and Yoga. My friend Chris told me about it when I saw him at the gym a few weeks back, and I'm so glad I listened. I went twice last week, and it's made a world of difference. I feel more well-rested at the beginning of the day, and I don't feel as tense after the class.
My next prenatal appointment is on the 16th of this month. I'll get to hear the heartbeat then. I can't wait!

Try water aerobics too if you can find it... I took a class when I was pregnant w/ Shaye until I went on bed rest. Very relaxing and energizing at the same time. As for the morning sickness take it as a blessing and keep some food in the tummy for the little baby!
Amber right with the water aerobics its great for the body and it does put strain on you. Yoga is the best so many of my friends have done it when they preganet and felt so rested and everything. Your doing on great job already. Watch with the books they can scare you or you'll come out with weird things from them like Amber she came out with I forget to breath sometimes. She got it from one of her books it was really funny. Love ya Amber<3 You are so blessed with not having Morning Sickness. You and Wes are going to be great parents with or without books.
Love you guys always,
