I'm asking for forgiveness all around.....I know I've been much slower to update the blog, return emails, and phone calls, but this tiredness has been a whole new feeling for me! Please forgive me and know if I have been really bad about calling or writing you back, I promise it's nothing personal. I'm just a little slower than normal and I am sure it will improve soon.
Yesterday was my first day with students. I only had 12 kiddos, which was a really weird feeling! There are 15 on my roster, so we'll wait and see if the rest show. Then, we were off today for Tropical Storm Fay. I was rather relieved, because I needed a day to recover..ha! I came home from work and took an hour nap and then slept great last night too.....didn't even wake up to pee until 6AM! That hasn't happened once yet, so I know my body must have been tired. I'm glad to be back to work, but I definitely think my new routine (at least for now) is going to include coming home on time, rather than working late, and taking a nap before Mat gets home.
Yesterday marked the beginning of Week 11. The little bun is now around 1 1/2 inches and about the size of a fig (darn it, I just ate one of those the other day). Also, by now the baby is supposedly moving all around and even hiccuping as the diaphragm is developing. Of course I can't feel any of that yet, but I'm anxiously awaiting the time when I'll be able to. Each week that progresses, I just feel more and more thankful!
We've been sharing the news more and more....I think all of our friends and family know now and many people that we work with. Even many of my new student's parents know. With that comes excitement, but also a little bit of nervousness. I'm trying to release that as much as possible though because one of my biggest prayers is that through my experience, it will somehow be a source of strength or hope to someone else. God is already working wonders in that way! I never expected it would begin so soon, but it gives me such peace and gratification to know that God can use me in this way and I hope he continues to develop these circumstances so that it might benefit the lives of others.

Hi Keli and Matt, I am glad things are going good so far. I have been keeping you all in my prayers. Just rest up and remember the work will still be there when you wake up, so don't sweat the small stuff. You are going to be fine. Lorrie
I can tell how tired you are! Hopefully next week you can get a break at lunch, maybe that will help. I feel like we are with them ALL day, even though we have a break. I can't wait to hear you've felt movement...it's the best feeling! Once you feel it you freak when you don't- so with each good thing comes more fear! It's normal! Hope you and Mat had a nice birthday dinner, next year you will need a babysitter to go to a nice steakhouse! :) I will babysit!!!! KW
