Just checking in

I am about half-way through this pregnancy already! Time is sure flying by fast. Today I am 19 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I have been feeling our sweet baby boy kicking and flipping around for about the last two weeks. I just love it, and think it is by far the best part of being pregnant! When I was pregnant with Carson I did not recognize his movements until I was 22 weeks. We've decided to name our second son Collin John Beardemphl. We both really liked the name Collin, and John is my daddy's name. I thought it would be special to name him after his Pappy. :)

We got our nursery bedding in a few weeks ago and yesterday Clay and I painted the nursery. It looks great, and I can't wait to get it all set up. I ordered Collin's furniture yesterday, as well, so it should be here in a couple of weeks. I feel like I'm really on the ball this time around. I've started picking up a few things here and there that I know we'll need. I got rid of just about every baby item we had when Carson outgrew them. You can bet I'm kicking myself for that now, but we just didn't have room to store them. So, we're starting over from scratch!

On Friday I got a little scare and completely freaked out thinking that something was wrong with our baby. I woke up with really strong cramps, but told myself they would go away. I went to work and about an hour later they were just getting worse. I had one of my students up reading his phonics test to me, and I couldn't even concentrate on him because the pain was so bad. I called another 2nd grade teacher to come relieve me and I ran to the bathroom in tears. I was crying from pain and crying because I was so afraid something was wrong. When I came out of the bathroom the principals were there telling me they had gotten me a sub and to go home. I called the doctor's office and they were able to get me in an hour later. Well, all of that big ordeal just turned out to be a bladder infection. I am thankful that is all it was, but I sure felt like a goof for making such a big deal out of it. I did learn a lesson, though... that when I've gotta go, I better go! That's hard for a teacher to do since I have 20 little ones that I can't leave unattended. Good think I work with amazing people that take great care of me. :)

That's about all that's been going on as of late. We go for our next ultrasound in 3 weeks, so I will certainly have more news then!
