i had my 12+ week check-up today & the doctor did our first doppler & found the heartbeat right away!! yeah!! i told him i'd been having dreams about twins thinking he might search for a second hearbeat & he pretty much told me that we would have to wait until ultrasound day...another 5 weeks. the heartbeat was strong & steady--very cool to hear and made this experience a little more real for us. i'm glad mike could be there with me to hear it...he was definitely excited & even went baby clothes shopping with me afterwards & picked out most of what we bought. we didn't go hog wild...just went to herberger's to look at their sales & they had their sets of 5 Carter's onesies on sale for less than $10!!! mike was the one looking through them & he found a set of boy ones that had firetrucks on every one...he just had to get them. i made him pick out a little girl set, too & then we picked a set of neutrals. fun, fun, fun...
where have i been this last week?...everyone's mentioned that i haven't been blogging. to be honest..i'm tired!!! i started teaching summer school for Schuyler this week--full days in special ed & then leave there & immediately go to VBS. tuesday night i had 23 toddlers--thankfully i had my mom's help & other moms & grandmas who offered to stay. last night we only had 16 because of ball games & stuff. we go 2 more nights...i'm definitely more ready today because i slept in & then came home and napped after my doctor's appointment. yay for naps!!!
all week my body has been going about my regular routine but my heart is with the teachers from schuyler who are fighting for the resignation or termination of their current superintendent. several of them have put in so many hours of research, prayer, meeting, phone calling, and preparation. they met with the board last night to present their thoughts & their fears. please, please pray for them & the board as the decisions are discussed and determined. the staff who have been a part of this have put in late nights and they are physically and emotionally exhausted. they don't just fight this battle for the sake of their jobs & staff moral..they are fighting for their children & future generations of schuyler county. tonight, before you fall asleep, please think of their fight and fall on your knees in prayer for them.

well written:) Do you know what the plan is for Friday night? I am trying to figure out my plans b/c brax has a game at 7:30 in lanc and i would like to make it to it but i want to go with bronson too.
thanks...
we're sending home a note tonight but pretty much we're loading the bus at 5:30 to go to I-MO camp. while there, we're having supper, serving the camp by tidying the grounds (part of the theme of vbs is serve & be served), taking a final offering for our missionaries & hearing from them 1 more time, letting the winners (boys or girls) pie a youth leader & signing t-shirts. we're planning on being done by around 7:30 so that any kids riding the bus back to the church are there by 8...if you needed to leave early with bronson you could, or you could come out & you could leave early & he could ride back to town on the bus or with andrea...another busy night for you, huh?
hope that helps.
i've been praying- i've been filled in on all the details. lmk if there's anything i can do, typing, etc. i'm able and willing! let me know how it all goes! i'm glad it was on the news! maybe more accountability from the board members... they need to realize how serious of a situation this is and stop the job hopping too!
congrats on the appt! : )
I appreciate your prayers...we need them all. What a grueling week, but a good weight loss program:) See you tomorrow!
