Good Morning

Today after I take two of my kids to school (the other has afternoon kindergarten) I'll be off for another blood test. I'm a little nervous. I'm hoping my hcg levels have doubled like they should and all will be fine. This is the most nerve wracking part of the pregnancy for me; the first trimester. Oh and of course the battery of tests ran in the first month of the second trimester.

I've been awake since 4:30 this morning. It seems in the last5 days, I fall asleep earlier and wake up earlier. I don't mind waking up earlier, but since I am pregnant, by noon I am really tired. But I can't nap bc I'm afraid I'll over sleep and my kids will be waiting at school for me wondering where mom is. But by the time they get off from school, and I have one of the craziest schedules, with my son getting out at 1:55, my youngest daughter at 3:05 and then my oldest daughter at 6pm bc of softball practice, I'm all over the map. It's just as bad in the morning. We leave by 7:40 am, my sons school starts at 7:55. But there is this huge long drive thru line (his school is valet drop off) that by the time we finally reach the school it's 8am. I know we should leave earlier, but if we do, we are there before anyone else (yard duties) and I can't leave him alone. My oldest starts at 8:15, but the school is right next door, so we just hop over there next.

But since there are 3 schools on one block, literally, elementary, junior high and high school, there is traffic galore. it's a mad house getting there an back. By the time i get back home, it's 8:30. Then my youngest goes at 11:35.

So I only have an hour and a half before I have to leave again to pick up my son. And the schools are about 5 or so miles (I forgot and don't really like to think how far I drive 10 times a day, LOL) from the house and no bus.

So....there's my daily schedule. Not to mention the work I do at home and school work. I'm so glad I'm taking most of my classes online. I really thought it would be hard and it was at first. But since my school offers sit ins whenever I want (I can sit in during a day class if I need more instruction) this can help. I haven't done it yet as I don't get much time to and it's about half an hour from the house with no traffic. But if I get to a point where I need to, hubby said he'll come home early enough one day (maybe per week if I need to or just once) so I can sit in.

Well, I'm off. I'll report back when I get my results later this afternoon.
