Living in Texas you never know what type of weather you are going to get from day to day! A couple of weeks ago the Meteorologists we talking about how we were going to get snow and ice, how it was going to be this big deal and there would be road problems...and we didn't get anything! I sat and looked out the window ALL day that Sunday just watching for something to fall from the sky so that we would have a day off from school...and of course no such luck! I would check my phone and then check outside..and drive my husband crazy the entire time. So when the Meteorologists started this chit chat about the potential of ice again on Friday I refused to get my hopes up (who am I kidding...I was secretly hoping for it , every teacher needs a Snow
*ice* day every once in a while) this time! Mind you it was in the 80's on Wednesday..but Thursday brought around some cooler weather! Lucky for me I had car duty outside on Thursday so that meant I got to stand outside for a solid 30 minutes in FREEZING weather, and what do you know it started to sprinkle! My hopes of this weather thing actually happening were increasing! I decided to play it safe and head straight home incase this ice thing really did happen! Well as the night went on we got some crazy sleet and ice..and the glorious phone call around 9:16 (
yes I know the exact time...it's on Christmas break, my kids are CRAZY and this teacher will take any break she can get! :) ) from my mom saying school was cancelled!! Usually they don't call and tell us until that morning so that is what I was expecting.. so it was a nice little surprise! I was beyond excited to start my 3 day weekend...though my husband was a little less than thrilled I would be home all day Friday since he was trying to study for his finals! Apparently I'm not the quietest person to live with...who knew!
Well we woke up Friday to an outside covered in ice, so during one of Will's study breaks I
encouraged made the husband go outside to take pictures with me!
The husband was thrilled when I told him I NEEDED something sweet to eat and macaroni and cheese....so then he got to spend 30 minutes trying to get his windshield where we could see out of it! Good thing he loves me...and knows that there is only 6 more months of these cravings! Then I'm sure it will be something else ;)
Well when you are cooped up all day and are supposed to not be bothering your husband because he is studying diligently for his finals...it turns into a craft weekend! I think my nesting phase is beginning and since I can't work on the nursery yet I did a little Christmas Crafting!
The husband was really glad I found something to keep me occupied with...but about every 5-10 minutes I needed his assistant for something! I told him that it was not my fault because he was the one that didn't want me lifting anything! Sunday Night I was glued to the news to see if we would be cancelled for Monday...I knew the roads were probably okay and that it was a long shot but remember teachers LOVE snow days **
especially when you are going to be on maternity leave when everyone else is having to make them up!!** I went to the same school district that I now teach in and the rule has always been if Dallas ISD closes for a snow day than not to long after Garland ISD would close too..that is just how it has always been! Well I saw that DISD closed so immediately started texting all my teacher friends that we had to be next, well apparently our new superintendent didn't get this memo! Hopefully someone will let him know for furture cases :) I think the whole time I was hoping and praying we would have one more day off the husband was praying that he would have his apartment back to himself on Monday to make up for his Justi filled Friday and weekend! So bright and early (extra early since we didn't know how the roads were going to be) Monday I was off to see my littles at school and I think some of them had the same feelings about needing one more day as I did, but we all made it through our Monday!

16 Week Bump Update..one of these days I will get a good camera and have decent pictures! Though I am loving our christmas tree in the background in this picture!
How Far Along: 16 weeks
Size of Baby: Baby Buck is the size of a Turnip this week...about 5 inches and 5 oz
Gender: Still don't know..I getcomplete different guesses from people, and of course they all just know they are right! My mind changes daily..honestly its probably more like every hour. I'm going to try and convince the doctor to tell us on Monday but if not we for sure will find out in January!
Total Weight Gain: I am not sure but I'm thinking last week and this weekends ice days really killed my weight gain. We have a doctors appointment Monday so I'm sure my doctor will let me know...can't wait...
Maternity Clothes: Luckily still being able to wear all my regular shirts and dresses, but I have started to wear maternity jeans occasionally though I can still fit into most of my regular pants as well!
What I miss: I usually sleep on my stomach so I am really missing that!
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well but still waking up a couple times of night though before I was pregnant and this would happen I would be exhausted the next morning... now I'm not really that tired so that has been great!
Cravings: Once again they are all over the place! The most consistent things I have wanted are fruits (mainly berries and grapefruits), sandwiches, milk and cereal (can't get enough milk lately), and every morning I have to have orange juice! During the ice storm though for whatever reason I *needed* candy and macaroni and cheese! I can not remember the last time that I had macaroni and cheese!
Best moment of the week: I think the best moment of the week is people telling me that I have "popped" out more and that they can really tell I'm pregnant (I'm guessing instead of just looking like I put on some lbs!) it makes everything seem more real!
Hope you all have a great week and will see you next time!
