Baby Gaver!

Ira and I are expecting a baby! I'm due on March 17th. We had our first doctors appt yesterday 8-24, i'm 11 weeks along now. It was exciting for us both to hear the heartbeat and see the baby in the ultrasound. It makes it all more real now. We have know i was pregnant since july 17th but i didn't want to tell anyone until our first appt and i was closer to the end of the first trimester in case anything were to happen. So far everything looks good according to the doctor. i have blood work drawn next week and go back to the doctor in 4 weeks.

It's been a while since i wrote anything. Ira started student teaching a couple weeks ago and seems to be enjoying it. He is still working at Ameristar part time, so he's pretty busy. This week for about 3 days we didn't even see each other due to our schedules. The teacher that he is under was out on friday so Ira got to teach the entire day by himself, there was a sub in the room but she didn't do anything.....but still got paid to sit and watch him. It's kind of great that he got to do a day by himself already, talk about jumping right into it all.

Other from that we have just been trying to enjoy what is left of summer, although i am looking forward to fall. Its my favorite time of year! everything smells good and i love the cool, jeans/sweatshirt weather.

I have been practicing my clarinet on my off time lately. i'm thinking about taking an open audition for sioux city symphony. Part of me wants to audition and part of me doesn't due to the time commitment. i keep going back and forth and the audition is this next sunday the 30th. and of course its scheduled right in the middle of my 3 in a row at work so now i need to rearrange my schedule in a hurry. i'm just not sure its all worth it.

The other thing i have been considering lately is going to days at my work. i just feel like i sleep all the time and that i never have any free time or energy. plus on nights i don't work i end up being unable to sleep and sleeping during the day, wasting my days off. i don't know i just keep pondering all this.

stay tuned who knows what's next!
