This is my first attempt at blogging, so it might
take me a while to get the hang of it. I love reading other people's blogs, and
since our family will be expanding soon, I thought this might be a great way to
stay connected to our family and friends.
We found out that we were expecting on June 30th, the day we left for a weekend away to celebrate our 1st anniversary. The first two weeks or so, I thought "Man, this is going to be so easy!" Little did I know how wrong I was going to be. Just a few weeks later, the morning sickness started. Whoever decided to call it "morning" sickness obviously never experienced it. I was getting sick morning, noon, night, and everywhere in between. In fact, mornings were actually when I felt the best.
Throughout the first trimester, I battled the MS. I went on medicine, which I didn't think seemed to help, so I decided not to renew my prescription. Big mistake. About a week after I stopped taking it, I ended up in the ER because I had gone almost an entire day without keeping anything down, including water. The doctor started me on medicine again, and this time I stuck with it. I had to learn that the medicine would not stop the sickness, but it would keep out of the ER.

As the beginning of the school year started to
approach, I began to get very nervous. I wasn't sure how I was going to be able
handle the MS and being back at school. Also, I knew we were going to have to
tell the students soon. (There was no way I would be able to keep it a secret
from them!) I should have known I had nothing to worry about. My students were extremely
understanding and supportive. If I was
having a bad day, they would be sure to stop in and see me to get my mind of
things. They continue to do this, and I
am so thankful for their support.
