The Nest

Just some babble.

I've again made some adjustments to my diet (diet as in what I eat, not diet as in what I am doing to lose weight since I am definitely not trying to lose). 

--For lunches, I will be packing more tuna sandiches (light chunk on yummy 22-grain whole wheat) and green leafy salads.  Yum!  I was never, ever a tuna fan growing up, but I've learned to like it within the past year or so.  Gotta get my good fish servings in!  We don't eat a whole lot of fish at home, but when we do, it's usually salmon.  Salmon is expensive, so tuna it is. :)

--Brining my work week morning food repertoire home.  What this means is eating yogurt and my delicious Oat Clusters Cheerio Crunch cereal on the weekend, too.  I don't know why, but I just wasn't eating this stuff on the weekends as well.  I totally should, though!

That means my husband will be the one eating all of the leftover goodies from dinner for lunch.  ^.~  Works for us!

Today was my first day in a little over two years, I believe, teaching the pre-kinder Sunday School class.  It didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped, but I just need to get used to the swing of things again.  I just completely blanked and forgot to do half of what I wanted to do.  I'm not sure why that happened, but oh, well.  I'll know for next time!  Thankfully, I'm just doing it everything other week.

A few randoms: so the lady in charge of the little children's ministries IS pregnant, like I had thought.  I had suspected she was when I saw her last Sunday, but she's at that stage where you can't be certain enough to risk offending someone who might not be pregnant.  I'm so happy for her!  We chatted a little, and she mentioned how she really didn't get much morning sickness at all in her first trimester (she's due in September) and how they are going to keep their name choices secret until the baby is born.  I'm pretty sure we are going to as well because I won't be able to tolerate any grief from anyone.  We didn't choose names that are all that common, and my family is totally the type to just never let you hear the end of it.  (For those just tuning in, my husband and I already have a boy's and a girl's name picked out, even though we are not yet pregnant.  ^^;;)

Speaking of names, there is a little girl in my class who has the name we picked for our girl!  One can only imagine how that set my heart a-flutter, lol.

On the baby-making front...

As we get closer and closer (we're so close!) to being at the stage of "not trying, but not preventing", I feel myself getting more anxious.  That rush of emotions and worries just hits me sometimes.  I do my best to push those things out of my mind, but it's hard to when they are all real possibilities.  It's crazy to think that yes, we are taking the risk of getting pregnant right away next month!  I keep thinking of how we're going to tell everyone, calculating when we would be due...it's a rush!  It's just a whole different game.

Even my husband is looking at things a little differently.  When we were out promoting our new TKD school on Saturday, this man walked by with either one or two small children and a baby in a carrier.  My husband made this funny look on his face because he had put himself in that man's shoes and had imagined himself doing the same thing.  It was cute.  ^^;;  He's so ready for a child of his own.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I mentioned that we did an event on Saturday.  The Life Time Fitness we have our school at was doing a summer camp registration fair, and we were invited to have a table set up so we could promote our program.  It went very well!  We're going to be super busy next week, but we really need to hook these students in (we're doing a ton of free trials).  I don't know how well I'll be able to manage working full time at my job and also working at these classes, but you have to do what you have to do.  "No pain, no gain," right?  Please say an extra prayer for us.  :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, that should be more than enough for now.  I've been super bad about keeping up with exercising, so I hope to get some in today.  All of this is in God's hands, so I am just incredibly excited to see where He guides us.  A lot of big changes coming up!
