Baby love...

Well it has been a super super exciting week and a half! We found out on Saturday September 17th that we are having a baby!!!! :) I was however not expecting to find this out so quickly. haha I was actually taking a test to show my sister that I didn't know whether I was pregnant or not yet, because I expected the test to say "not pregnant" but to my surprise it did quite the opposite!! haha I didn't think I would get a positive test for at least another 3 or 4 days, but that was not the case at all! So of course I had to take three tests (maybe more haha) to make sure that I was actually pregnant!

We were rather excited when we realized this meant that I am actually pregnant and that the tests aren't just lying! haha Charles and I have been ecstatic ever since that Saturday!! We told out family this past Friday that we are pregnant, and I think everyone was pleasantly surprised and super excited!! I am glad that we have such a supportive family!! We made cute pictures using the picture above and adding the words We are having a baby!!! :) They were pretty cute, and they definitely surprised everyone!
Today was our first baby appointment, and we didn't do much except talk about when the due date would be, and getting a million samples of different vitamins! Then I have to give what seemed like a million vials of blood!! I hate giving blood, its for the good of the baby and at this point I would do anything for our little peanut!! :) We are soo extremely excited to go though this wonderful journey!! So I will keep everyone updated as we go to the doctors, and of course I will have to post ultrasound pictures..duh! haha :)

Other than that extremely exciting news, not too much has been going on. I am enjoying teaching very much! There are days that are more challenging than others, and today would definitely be one of those days! But that's ok, I know this is a completely different group of kids then I am use to working with. They know way too much about things that 5th and 6th graders should not know about. I never know what to say when they start talking about some of the things they do, but I will learn! haha I will hopefully be full time at one of the schools within the next few weeks so I don't have to keep traveling between the two. That will make life much easier on me!!

Well that's about all that is happening right now, life is wonderful and I am so thankful for the amazing husband that I have, that supports me through everything, and who is just as crazy excited about this baby as I am! We are having an amazing time living our life together and I couldn't ask for anything more! :) Well that's it for me today, I will update again soon!! Have a wonderful week everyone!

What a week!

Well it has been awhile since I have updated! Oops!! And probably the only reason I have time to do it today is because I am at home sick! Yuck!! But that's what happens when you work with little kids everyday!! Haha!
Well it has been a very interesting week to say the least. I had a job interview on Tuesday with Tulsa Public Schools, and I wasn't sure how the interview went, I honestly felt like I wouldn't get a job offer. But to my surprise I was offered a Job!!! :) So I will now be a part time Special Ed teacher at two Tulsa public schools! I am very excited, I was not sure how I felt about it at first, but I think this will be a great experience for me! It will be a very different variety of students between the two schools, because I will most likely be teaching 3rd grade at one school and 5th grade at the other, so it should be interesting!! The fun part is though that one school is a year round school and the other is not, so there will be a couple of times where the year round school has a three week break, so I will be getting paid to only teach part time! Can't beat that! :)
So other than that exciting news, there is not really much going on around the Wilson house. Charles is doing FANTASTIC in school this semester! He makes me so proud, I just wish I was half as smart as he is! :) (He will hate me for saying this about him! haha he is rather shy about his smartness! But he amazes me, so I have to say something about it anyways!) September should be a pretty slow month around here, but October on the other hand will be crazy, because Charles has a test just about every two days during October! Yuck! But I will be here to be as supportive as I can be during that time. I know his stress levels will be crazy! :( But once October is done with November and December will be smooth sailing!
Well I don't know much else to talk about right now, so I guess I will just say hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!! :)
