I have some friends praying for me. This update is for them.
Being pregnant doesn't help with teaching at all. This morning I was ready to quit because I was so sick of all the kids and their bad attitudes etc. But by this afternoon I was feeling so much better! So I didn't quit my job.
I had a good meeting with my principal about grading policies and I feel very enthusiastic about teaching now. I think I'll wake up tomorrow feeling (mentally) very good...physically I might not be feeling that good though.
Recently I have had various degrees of morning sickness. It's been getting better though. I enjoy, however, being able to be joyful despite the nausea. This nausea is because God found pleasure in allowing my husband and I to conceive when so many of our friends are having difficulty in this area. I am especially grateful to even have a wonderful husband who loves me and is excited to have a baby. How many people don't even have this much? But God has been gracious and merciful to me. Even above all of this he has provided me with a job. So if I complain about my high school freshmen not knowing 8th grade math, at least I have a job. And it's a good job too!
My husband and I are expecting our first child in mid-May. We are so excited!
