Tyler and I are both a month into school and the exhaustion is showing. Poor Tyler had to quit his job at the ER because with that, the shop, and school he never had time for homework or rest, let alone fun. He is really sad because he really loved that job.
I sincerly hope our child gets the good half of both of our brains. Not to say that Tyler is bad at history and art, but I barely passed college biology 101 with a C, and I dont think I understood a word of it. Tyler just got a 98% on his first Test, he only missed one question.
I am starting to get a handle on the kids in my class, I think. It is so hard to be the happy cheerful patient teacher, but I am trying sooooooo hard. While I no longer feel "sick" at school, I am now experiencing a new wonder of my changing body. My tail bone has hurt for two days straight and I feel like an old woman when I try to stand up and sit down. Apparently this is common, even at 14 weeks, but I thought I'd have another 4 months or so before the back pain would start. This only feeds Tyler and his father's theory that I'm having twins. At 14 weeks apparently our child is the size of a lemon, but I feel like i've got a whole bushel of them sitting on my tail bone.
We bought a new couch! Actually two corner pieces of a lazyboy that we pushed together to make a half circle. It is sooooo compfortable, but huge and dorky looking. We also traded in the old dryer that left brown streaks on all our clothes and got a new one. YaY!
I'm having a hard time feeling young and I think Tyler feels the same. I'm always exhausted and lucky if I can stay awake past 9pm. With work and school Tyler never has time for adventures, and we have sadly sort of drifted away from friends our own age. I think we are both living for the spring, while trying to enjoy each day. Tyler will get his Associates degree, I'll get the lemon out of my stomach, and hopefully we can feel human agin.
