What's happening in Week 5

This pregnancy has already raised a lot of concern for me.  A lot of people would say I am lucky, but considering I have one pregnancy to go off of,  I am very confused about the differences in my symptoms.  Last time, I was sick and totally exhausted early on.  There were days I would lie on the couch with a pillow over my head and just sleep the day away.  Now, I feel... GREAT!  I can't explain why I think that's bad.  I guess having a lack of pregnancy symptoms is making me nervous. I see a doctor on Tuesday for my 6 week (really 5w6d) ultrasound appointment and I am so anxious about it.  I want that room to give me good feelings, but last time I was there I had horrible news. Everyone tells me each pregnancy is different, so I am taking those thoughts in stride.

Along with reaching week 5, Darius and I closed on our first home last week!  It is the best little first-time home in the world!  It has the perfect amount of fixing-up to do.  I didn't want to take on a house that required a lot of projects because that's just not in the budget.  I also didn't want something totally perfect because then I would feel like I can't make it my own.  Our house is perfect!  We have been in the process of painting and getting it all ready over winter break.  I am so excited to move on Saturday into our first home!  I know Gus is excited too! ;)  Also, it thrills me knowing I have a room to make into a nursery!  This is something I've always dreamed of!  I can't wait! :)

Tomorrow is back to work and to say I am dreading it is an understatement.  I absolutely love teaching but going into the career, I had no idea the amount of politics hidden behind it.  It's that kind of stuff that makes you feel like it's not worth it.  But, for every once in a while to have those precious moments with the kids makes it worth it again.  It's a hard job to explain, but I know the teachers out there reading truly understand.

Let's get on to the weekly questions:
