Halloween!

Yesterday was Halloween and at our school it was the annual Jog-A-Thon. The theme for the Jog-A-Thon was Dr. Seuss and each grade chose a different character. My class along with the other third grade class dressed as "Thing 1 and 2." Since the other third grade teacher is pregnant and due 1 week before me we decided this would be a great time (especially since we are both into the second trimester) to break the news to our classes. 
The smaller circle says "Thing 2 Coming Soon"

When I went to pick up my kids they were all dressed up with blue hair and all! They were adorable. I left my sweatshirt zipped until we got to the classroom and then casually unzipped it. They were so funny and did not figure it out right away but when they realized there was a baby in there they were SO excited! The class consensus seems to be that it is going to be a boy (smart kids!) Ha ha

It was an exhausting day that continued with a Halloween get together at our house and ended with my first emotional breakdown of the pregnancy. I was in tears (sobbing!) by 9:30 due to a combination of little things but mainly because I was so over tired. 
Shaun was wonderful of course, as always and offered me just the right amount of quiet time, hugs, prayers, and encouragement. 
How did I get so darn lucky with this guy?!?

This morning was rough. I was still exhausted and rolled out of bed 40 minutes later than usual with giant bags under my eyes. 
Got through the day and still have to make it through tomorrow from 5:00am to 9:00pm since we have to go to the Homecoming Game after work. Sleeping in Saturday morning is going to be heavenly!

Here are the 2 preggo teachers liven it up at the Jog-A-Thon!
