This past week has been packed full of sickness, parent/teacher conferences and struggling with my pregnancy "glow" (as I like to call it). Jordyn woke up Saturday morning with a fever and has been hanging on to it for the last few days. Nothing to go with it, but a runny nose so hoping it will be over with in the next day or so. Unfortunately, I think she got it from my mom while we were there visiting last week. Thanks, Mom! :) Surprisingly, Raegan has not gotten sick yet and we are keeping our fingers crossed that she doesn't. She seems to catch all the colds in this family and just got done with a sinus infection last week.
A little rant: For many women, pregnancy is a time for glowing skin and feeling wonderfully beautiful. Unfortunately, this has never happened to me. I don't mean to complain (well, maybe a little) because I love everything about being pregnant and feel incredibly blessed to have this little peanut growing inside of me, but my pregnancy comes with two things: acne and splotchy redness. My hormones go nuts, as do every other womens, and the way my body reacts is like a 15 year olds. I never dealt with bad skin as a teenager but I can sympathize with them now. My chin (always just my chin) is an explosion of craziness and I also look constantly "flushed". Granted this all goes away once I have the baby, but for 9 months I am usually trying to conceal the zits and redness. This doesn't usually work, but not for lack of trying. To add a little salt to the wound, I found my first 2 gray hairs last week. I think I actually screamed when I saw them! I quickly plucked them and then was told by my Dad, "For every gray hair pulled, another 2 will grow back." Well isn't that lovely. So I've been feeling a little down in the dumps this week but trying to work my way out of it. I'm sure some of you enjoyed a little chuckle from reading this, because really what do I have to complain about? However, I feel much better now that I've got that off my chest. Now on to more important things....
AJ and I went to Raegan's parent/teacher conference last night for her preschool. They do an evaluation on the kids to see how they will perform in Kindergarten next year. We were very excited to hear that Raegan passed with flying colors. Her teacher said she is more than ready for Kindergarten and should have no problems learning to read next year. Its such a relief to know that she does well in school and even enjoys it. We were also told that she has a wonderful sense of humor and is very self-confident. There is nothing I want to hear more, as a mom and woman, that my daughter has great self-confidence. So we are very excited for her to start school next year and can't wait to see what she learns.
