More signals means less delays

Oh dear London Underground

Pressure

I ended up feeling quite under pressure today to do things that a pregnant lady just shouldn't have to do, except that I haven't told everyone I'm pregnant yet, and didn't want to do that today, so I just ended up looking moody and uncooperative - oh well!
Have also been feeling a bit light headed today - I hope this isn't a precursor to nausea and sickness :(

6 weeks and feeling less tired

I have a new theory since coming back from the residential - I need to eat more... still trying to do Weight Watchers has been sapping my energy I think - although I was surviving on a daily basis it wasn't much fun.
I ate well on the school trip, and feel less tired now. Also having eaten a decent lunch at school for the last two days, I'm not having to nap in the evening. Saying that, maybe it's just a coincidence and I'm just naturally less tired at this stage of the game.
I really hope that this morning sickness lark is genetic, as mum said she had none with my brother or I!
Busy weekend - rugby all the way (not playing obviously) but coaching for school, then on a coaching course too!

Canoeing

So far so good. Attempted the climbing wall, although I didn't make it
all the way up- my tutor group were very encouraging though! Watching
the kids canoeing now, relaxing in the sunshine, so not too bad!
Should survive now until I get home to bed tonight!

8 hours sleep, blooming marvellous!

The kids were in bed by half 10 and there was not a peep out of them
after 10.55! Saying that i've just had a small boy at the door unable
to put his sleeping bag in a stuff sack, before i'm up and dressed! I
guess that means I need to get a move on!

Residential here I come

just waiting for my dad to give me a lift in to school - thought I was going to be lugging my rucksack on the train, so it is quite a relief to be going in the car! I will have to take the train home tomorrow though, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Losing it!

Oh I've just reached that utter exhaustion stage. COuld barely finish that lesson. I need to sleep, but as I've already discovered dozing off in the staffroom begs too many questions and comments, I think I need another alternative. Could I sleep at my desk or will boys and girls be laughing in the window at me?! I can't think, let alone teach. The sooner I have told people at school, the easier this will be - but I think 5 +3 is too soon :(

 

School residential trip tomorrow

So tomorrow I am heading away for an overnight trip with my Form 1 tutor group. Should be a good laugh, certainly different from sitting in a classroom all day anyway. I don't know how I'm going to manage tiredness wise though. At the moment I'm needing to get home and have a wee sleep as soon as I get in and before I even think about whawt's happening that evening (my husband does the cooking mostly, so that's one less thing to worry about, in general), so being away for 2 days will be quite tough. I'm consideirng bedding down in my store today for a wee lunch time nap. The monring up to breaktime is bearable, but break is too short to be particularly re-energising, so that double lesson leading up to lunch will be tough today. This time tomorrow I'll have arrived at the outdoor pursuits place, and probably have been dragged in to a canoe by now :) I just hope to god they all sleep tomorrow night, as I've been asleep sound from 10 until half 6 recently, and I dread to think how I'll cope on Wednesday if they keep me up all night!

Tired

Do I eat my dinner first, then watch a DVD, or do both at the same time?! I will want to go to bed about 9pm, which will look unusual to everyone, but do I really care?!
Oh, too many options as far as I'm concerned :(

too full

Just been out for brunch for my brother's birthday - very delicious but I ate too much. My brother and his girl friend don't know yet.
Having been to the loo twice already, didn't really want to dash out again - didn't really need to wee, just felt so bloated!
Have now been for a walk along the seafront, and back through the park, so feeling a lot better, but exhausted now - that last walk back up the hill is what really kills me - and I'm on the train to work all this week, so I expect I'll be dead on my feet by Friday.
Saying that, the outdoor pursuits place for two days may do for me long before then! I don't know when to tell people at school, it's weird being so new and not really having any close friends on the staff yet; will have to tell my head of dept soon though for risk assessments etc to be done.
Going for a wee lie down now with my caffeine free diet coke, and then some planning for this week - or maybe I should do the planning/marking first, or it may never get done - but then if I'm putting myself, my health and my sanity first, then maybe that's OK!

5 weeks plus 2 days

Here is my belly, not growing yet, but this is my benchmark
