“On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was…‘It’s October 3rd’.”- from Mean Girls
I saw a meme of this on FB and it made me laugh. i love that movie! just summed up high school girl life weirdly…
anyway…home today. might go out in a minute. gotta get rent and thinking about running some errands. i really want to make the white chicken chili ive been meaning to throw in my crock pot all week, however i do not have chicken broth. its cold and rainy here in NYC. im loving the weather today. i absolutely hate the rain, especially here in the city, however it has been so hot all through september that i am overjoyed that the humidity has broken and i can wear sneakers again. not only is it too cold to wear sandals, my feet are only slightly swollen (nothing too noticeable) and i can fit my feet in normal shoes again.
im sitting here, listening to a day at the theater radio on my i heart radio app (seriously if you dont have i heart radio on your phone, you need it! its fabulous) and thinking about all the lesson plans i need to do. ive gotten a few great ideas in the past couple of days and i finally feel ready to sit down and write some unit plans out. i need to read over what each grade is doing in ELA right now to align my plans to whatever they are doing in class, but thats the only thing i need to do to please my administration. gotta play ball, right?
so yeah, im sitting here crying and singing and thinking and cleaning. what a saturday! i already gave 2 hours of lessons this morning. the first lesson was terrible. thankfully, the parents didnt blame me at all. the child did not want to do anything. she was in one of her moods, they said. no one could coax her to do anything. she finally came in the last 10 minutes of her lesson, sang some improvised pumpkin/fall songs and i tried to get her to pluck some rhythms on her violin, but it didnt work. she isnt ready to play an instrument. shes 4. she needs time to be 4 and should be in a more general music setting. oh well! orchestra went well. i actually got to lead the rehearsal today instead of whatever my “boss” wanted to do. she sat in to help the cellist, but she didnt step in too much which was good. and now all the kids have the right book, so next week should be even better! im going to check out the second violin part next week and see if we can split into three parts eventually. that would be idea for this group. there are 4 violins and 1 cello, so breaking into 3 parts would be possible. we shall see.
baby is doing well. lots of pushing and moving. i went to the doctor on thursday. im now 193lbs, which means ive put on about 40lbs throughout my pregnancy. not too bad, but i was a little over weight to begin with. so im just getting a little concerned about taking the weight off once the baby is here and im back to work. im really going to have to work at it to take 60lbs off…but it will happen because it has to happen. i cannot be this heavy even again (well, maybe the next pregancy, but thats it). we still cant decide on a name. itll come, soon hopefully. my husband is set on Warren, but im not thrilled with it. i still like Frederick or Evan. i also like Oliver…so we’ll see.
my husband admitted to me last night that hes a little nervous and freaked out to have sex with me. he said its not that he doesnt want to, but when we do he feels very restricted because of the baby. theres a big bump in the way and he cant do what he wants to. so, it has resulted in much less sex than we would like to have, which is a shame because ive been more in the mood throughout this whole ordeal. i cant blame him though. its gotta be weird and scary for him. plus, im officially 8 weeks away from my due date today, so i know hes getting freaked out that he might start my labor, even though i assured him he wont. its still very safe to have sex and actually its good to have sex. its good for us as a couple, for us as individuals and for the baby. hopefully he calms down a bit soon.
on the baby front…hes not in position quite yet. i think his head is on my right side, with his feet up near my ribs. i always feel a lot of pushing on my right side and hardly anything on my left, so i think hes pushing his head backwards. my stomach will become hard and round on that side, so thats why i think his head is there. i also get pushes on the top of my stomach that feel like either a heel or a knee. i cant feel them when i push back on him. hopefully he will rotate soon and get into position for his eviction notice. cant believe its 8 weeks or less…hopefully not more.
alright i better get going. later!
