Life In General

Home With Hannah

2010-09-22T11:26:00.003-05:00

Life is definitely different. Everyone said it would be.

We went to a meet up through The Photographic Life web site yesterday. I actually took this picture with my own little camera! I'm so proud! Of course the staging was all Mary. :)

I am starting to figure out a routine of some sort. I slept with Hannah as much as possible last night. I didn't let the feedings drag on like I have been. When she got up around 7:30, I was considering going down for one more nap. But once I finished her routine (feed, change, pump) I was awake. When I realized she was going back to sleep, I swaddled her up and put her on my bed. I've been working like a mad woman every since. I've done laundry, ate breakfast, cleaned, actually gotten on line.

She should be waking soon for another feeding, but I'm feeling like I can handle it. We may go out for a walk this time.

Life In The Hospital

2010-09-06T09:37:00.005-05:00

Monday. Labor Day.

I can see families out on the nearby bike trail. Normally I would be so excited about this day off work. It feels strange for it to be just another day in the hospital. I try to imagine what all of our different friends are out doing today.

Labor Day is for labor. Let's get this show on the road, Hannah. Avoid that surgery!

She is going to be so shocked on Thursday. I don't think she has any plans of leaving me for at least 3 more weeks.

Meghan, RN and Betty, LVN are my nurses today. Meghan is young and very sweet. She tells me about her family drama and she lets me get away with stuff. (ya know - like standing up and stretching my hips or other such crimes against pregnancy) She's the least protective one. Betty is more mature. She takes good care of me and tells me how it is. She has a lot of life experience.

This is my morning routine in antepartum.

1. Wake up around 5 or 6 because I can't stand the bed for one more second.

2. Look on Facebook to see who stayed up late. Hit 'like' on everything of interest so that I get lots of notifications all day.

3. Look in my 3 email boxes to find mostly nothing.

4. Find something on Netflix Instant that might hold my interest for a few minutes.

5. Call in my breakfast order promptly at 7 when they open.

6. Watch the Netflix thing.

7. Get my blood pressure checked and my temperature taken.

8. Have a huge scale rolled into my room and face the daily numbers.

9. Listen to Hannah's heart on a monitor for at least 30 minutes while they record it.

10. Eat breakfast.

11. Get dressed for the day. - For this I am extremely thankful. I don't have to wear a gown and I'm not attached to any tubes or wires.

12. things come to a complete halt. Now I sit. I repeat # 2-4 a lot.

I don't turn on the TV because:

1. I am spoiled to my DVR. I really have no tolerance for the commercials.

2. I can't control the volume from my bed. The nurse who admitted me informed me it was broken and then adjusted it for me manually. If I want it different now, I have to ask someone to do it. Not worth it.

3. I can't type in a channel number. I have to click past every channel to get to what I want. There are 40 channels.

4. It gives me a headache and makes me feel un-alive. Like a zombie.

5. There is NOTHING worth watching.

I mostly do the following:

1. Sit and think.

2. Listen to my music on the laptop.

3. Look at the tower across from mine and try to guess why those people are in the hospital.

4. Wonder who will come today and at what time.

5. Listen to the second hand on the clock in my room.

6. Read.

7. Cry occasionally - due to hormones. (My doctor said the crying is very normal and that I should watch The Color Purple and just get it all out. Maybe today.)

8. Pray. For Hannah's health and mine. Mostly I worry about Down's Syndrome. We didn't test for it.

9. Run through various escape plans in my head.

The best thing is when people stop by to see me. I think this is because I'm not exactly sick. I'm just at risk of becoming gravely ill on a seconds notice. I don't need to "get my rest" or any such thing.

I like visitors. I like it when they come for about 30 minutes to an hour. They tell me about life outside of here and I tell them what I ordered for lunch. Then we think excitedly about Hannah's arrival and then they go. And this makes me feel happy and normal for about 2 more hours of my day. It's like getting a happy shot!

The nurses check my blood pressure and temperature every four hours. This breaks up the rest of the day somewhat.

Bruce comes in the evenings. He takes me on my wheelchair outing and then we sit in the room like we're home on the couch. We watch a movie or talk or both. It's probably the best part of every day because I almost feel like I'm home.

I think God is teaching me a lot through all of this.

1. How to let people do things for me. This is a big one. Small things or big things - saying yes to offers was already hard enough. I've now learned to actually ask people to do things.

2. Quietness is good. Time without any distractions. Time to sit and reflect and maybe even create. We live in a society of constant input. We're bored without it. Time to process all that input is rare. It has actually been a blessing.

3. People in the hospital feel caged and isolated. I am going to become a person who visits people in the hospital. I will go prepared with a funny story and an encouraging word. I will ask what the nurses are like and what they had for lunch. I will leave when the conversation dies and they start to feel the need to entertain me. I will encourage other friends of this person to do the same.

4. Husbands can take care of things. I do not have to be super woman. I can let Bruce do things. Heck - I can even ask him to do things! They actually like this. It's how they best show love.

5. God is in control. I am not. And trusting Him is the most peaceful thing I can do right now.

Bed Rest Day 26

2010-09-05T16:18:00.001-05:00

I've been in the hospital for 6 days now. I feel perfectly fine, am not attached to any tubes or machines, and would desperately love to go for a run. However, I am supposed to remain in the bed all day with occasional trips to the bathroom or the recliner chair in my room.

This is extremely mentally challenging. I am thankful to feel so healthy, but I think it might be easier to stay here if I felt somehow sick.

I had my first thoughts of escape today. I thought, "I could just get up and walk out of here. I'm not under arrest. This is a free country, right?"

Today is also the longest I've gone without seeing anyone. Even with my home bed rest, I saw Bruce for several hours a day and through the night. He left at 8:30 last night and I haven't seen anyone but my friendly nurses since.

It's a lot harder today. It makes me even more grateful for all the visitors and phone calls I have had since I got here. The nurse says there are ladies here for months and no one comes to see them. Can you imagine?

I am truly blessed, that's for sure.

And don't start to feel pity for me because I'm alone today. I have someone coming around 5 and Bruce will be here tonight. Like I said. I'm truly blessed.

Pool Drama

2010-08-24T15:16:00.002-05:00

I do not think I'm asking too much. We pay extra to live right by the pool. I'm allowed to walk 20 steps to get in and relax for an hour a day.

The pool is locked. Again. I put on my swimsuit and trekked my 8.5 month pregnant, bed-rested self over there and realized the padlocks were back on the gate.

This pool that is so conveniently in our back yard has been locked for 90% of August. One of the hottest Augusts on record. And my 8th month of pregnancy. And my last month of summer break.

It might be the hormones, but I'm feeling pretty peeved right now. I guess I'll watch Dr. Phil in my swimsuit.

35 Weeks and 5 Days

2010-08-23T18:26:00.006-05:00

Had a sonogram today to check amniotic fluid and breathing practice. She's too big for a good picture, but it's still cool to see her. The best part is at the end when we watch her practice her breathing. So if you're easily bored, scroll to the last minute. ( about 2:50)

My blood pressure is still holding in the "elevated" range. And we did a non-stress test today. This consists of me laying on my back with a monitor strapped to my tummy for 30 minutes. They do a print out of her heart rate and any contractions I might have. I also click a button every time I feel her move.

This test went very well. She did all the things she was supposed to do. Doc said she showed every sign of a happy, healthy baby.

She got a face shot for me to take home. It's hard to see, and it's really skeletal. We think that's a foot next to her cheek, but who knows?

Bed Rest - Day 10

2010-08-20T17:01:00.004-05:00

Today started off rough. The kitchen was starting to need attention and my sweet husband had to get to work early. I was trying to figure out how to not clean the kitchen today. I didn't say anything because my hubby is a sweet gem and has taken care of everything for the last week and a half.

Then, before he walked out the door, he stopped in the kitchen and cleaned it. (I told you he's a gem.) So I stood watching for a minute and then went to sit on the couch (prison) and cried. So sweet, sweet hubby had to take care of house chores and watch his wife cry while he did it.

Bed rest is not for sissies.

He consoled me and then suggested that I call my sisters and visit. About 20 minutes later, one of them called me on her way to an appointment. We chatted for a while and she really lifted my spirits just by being herself.

Then I looked at my work email and someone had actually written me back! I cried a relieved tear about this and read every word two or three times. I have been very stressed about my lack of control over work. The opening days of school are so important and I am having to miss it. This was not in my plan!

After that I called the other sister to find out about her job interview. This also helped my attitude.

And while I was on the phone with her, my supervisor called me! We discussed my sub and some of the opening week info that I missed. It was a short conversation, but made me feel a thousand times better.

I even got to speak to my sub this afternoon while she and some others were setting up my room. Boy do I feel better now!

God has really taken care of my spirit today. I found myself thanking and praising out loud on several occasions. It is amazing how He can meet me wherever I am in a given situation.

On another note, I tried to go float in the pool this afternoon, only to find it locked again. Grrr. But I did shoot a 35 week pregnant picture because the swim suit emphasizes the baby belly so well.

Ball Game In 103° Heat

2010-08-05T23:36:00.002-05:00

After an enjoyable August evening at the Rough Riders game, I am currently thankful for:

1. A husband who fetches ice water on an as-needed basis

2. A sweet baby who dances to ball park music in my tummy

3. Air conditioning

4. Showers

5. Air conditioning

Sonogram #5

2010-07-20T13:26:00.000-05:00

Hannah was looking good today. She weighs 3 lbs 8 oz. She's head down and facing back, which is where she's supposed to stay until birth.

She was boxing and making sucky faces while we watched. Sooo amazing.

Groceries

2010-07-19T20:05:00.000-05:00

Making fajitas tonight.

Amy's Here

2010-07-18T19:56:00.003-05:00

I had Praise Team today while Bruce picked Amy up from the airport after an all night wedding party in New Orleans. We let her sleep while we went to see Sorcerer's Apprentice.

All in all a restful day.

Game Chest and Home Team

2010-07-17T21:56:00.004-05:00

Overall a pretty lazy day. Bruce & I went to the Game Chest at Valley View for a while. Then we went to home team where we had a great discussion about speaking in tongues.

I also discovered Scentsy tonight. I purchased a small warmer and a few scents. It's surprisingly reasonable! No worse than buying Glade products.

Out With Friends

2010-07-16T19:48:00.000-05:00

Going to see Inception.

Our Traditional Anniversary Dinner

Thirty Weeks (Seven Months)

2010-07-14T14:14:00.001-05:00

Went swimming today and snapped a shot in my bathing suit. Short women have nowhere to put a baby but straight out.

IKEA

2010-07-13T15:00:00.002-05:00

My first ever trip to IKEA. I made it all the way through the 2nd floor and then half way around on the first. Then I saw a glorious sign that said "shortcut to exit". I promptly left my sisters and went to sit down with a cold drink.

2010-07-12T10:32:00.001-05:00

Went to Babies R Us to do some more registering and found a great deal on crib bedding. This is getting exciting!

Hanging Hannah's Curtains

2010-07-11T16:36:00.001-05:00

Surprise Shower!

2010-05-19T17:01:00.001-05:00

It was supposed to be the last Mu Alpha Theta (math club) meeting of the year. But these sweet students caught me completely off guard with a surprise baby shower!

A couple of them came to the meeting early and distracted me while we wondered where the others were. Then they all walked in at once with decorations, cake, presents, games and snacks! It was the most surprised I've ever been!

2010-05-19T17:00:00.001-05:00

Baby Movements

2010-05-18T17:55:00.004-05:00

The first time I felt Little Girl moving was on Mother's Day. What a gift! I wasn't convinced that it was her that day. It was a few days of consistently feeling the movement before I knew it was the baby.

Just this week, I've noticed her more often. Last week it was just when I was resting. She was really active about 2 days ago. I noticed her several times while I was up teaching class.

In this picture you can see her little hand right above her head.

This morning I flopped back on the bed after putting on my shoes. I landed abruptly and told Bruce, "That probably woke her up." Sure enough, a few seconds later, bump.... bump bump.... So cool!

It's really amazing and comforting to feel her moving around. It lets me know she's alive and well in there and getting bigger every day.

5 months (22 weeks)

Sonogram Video

Final Resolution

2010-02-08T21:01:00.003-06:00

Almost one year ago today, I received an email from Dallas ISD telling me to repay a bonus. After a year of ups and downs and IRS bills for $16K, it is finally, completely finished.

IRS

2010-02-02T17:24:00.001-06:00

Although it's supposedly been worked out, we still haven't received
the refund from our 2008 taxes. When I saw this thick envelope in the
mailbox, I panicked. Turns out it's just a form to use for our 2009
return.

Will this nightmare ever end??

Chicken Pot Pie From Scratch

2010-01-24T22:19:00.003-06:00

This was a long project, but Amy told me it was worth the effort. She was right. Yum!!!

I also made a video of "the making of". I edited a 2 hour process down to the 4.5 minutes of questions I had along the way. It may or may not be worth 5 minutes of your time.

Saturday Night

2010-01-23T22:12:00.001-06:00

Grading Tests Old School

2010-01-22T16:08:00.001-06:00

The scanning wasn't happening so I took it back a few decades. This is actually pretty quick!

On another note, the stolen calculator turned up in the boys bathroom. Woo hoo!

Theft

2010-01-21T10:40:00.000-06:00

One of my expensive calculators was swiped right as my first period
class was entering today. I am really careful with these so I'm pretty
upset with myself for losing one.

Visiting Uncle Bob

2010-01-16T16:45:00.000-06:00

Drove to Ft Worth to visit Uncle Bob in the hospital. I mostly visited with Aunt Alene, though. Which was very nice. Didn't remember to take a picture until I was driving back to Dallas.

Dinner With Dear Friends

2010-01-13T20:35:00.005-06:00

Today was a boring school day. But afterward, I got to see the ladies who mentored me as a new teacher. This is a wonderful group of women and I am blessed to have them as friends.

Out With My BFFs

2010-01-12T22:08:00.003-06:00

Enjoyed an evening out with the girls. This sign was on the door of
the restaurant. What are Heelys?

Footnote to yesterday. Something interesting actually did happen. My niece, Emma, called me up to pitch Girl Scout cookies. She was a sales woman to the tee! It was impressive, and I ended up with 5 boxes. Good job Emma!

Getting Ready for Bed

2010-01-11T22:35:00.001-06:00

Nothing exciting today. Goodnight.

Better Than Usual Sunday

2010-01-10T21:20:00.005-06:00

Although we did the same old Sunday stuff, it was more fun than usual today. Also, the Bartlett's came along, which made it extra special!

Praise Team Practice

Lunch at Campisis

Movie and a Cowboys Game

2010-01-09T23:43:00.003-06:00

Went to see "It's Complicated". It was pretty good. Then watched the Cowboys kick some Eagle tale. Woo hoo! First playoff win since 96!

How I Entertain Myself

2010-01-08T16:55:00.000-06:00

So I spent the day trying to work this problem with my students (and some teachers at lunch).

(for those of you actually thinking about the problem.. that's 36 square units)

We all knew it was obviously less, but was it really true? Was there any way it could be more? Had a lot of good discussions with the students, but at the end of the day I was still looking for a definitive answer.

When the last bell rang, I decided to prove it to myself. Algebraically. For every rectangle inscribed in a square. Yes, this is my idea of fun.

Unfortunately I was busted by a fellow math teacher. When I told her what I was working on, she laughed at me and then took this picture.

The nice arrow above my head was her idea.

Leaving for Work

2010-01-07T07:15:00.000-06:00

This is my window after I scraped it.

Hard Working Students

2010-01-06T14:40:00.003-06:00

We're reviewing for semester finals next week. Are they working hard? Or just napping?

The Battle of the Dr. Pepper Bottle

2010-01-05T19:13:00.003-06:00

I had this Dr. Pepper bottle that absolutely would not open. I tried pliers. Bruce gave it all he had. It just wouldn't budge. Somehow I think the plastic lid had welded itself to the bottle.

So, I got serious about it.

Back to the Grind.

2010-01-05T16:18:00.000-06:00

My students came back today. I'm now officially exhausted.

Back To School

2010-01-04T21:36:00.006-06:00

Today was a staff development day, so it wasn't too hard to get back into it. I also got to see a fellow math teacher's new baby!

Then I tried another fancy recipe. This time it was a gourmet mac & cheese, which I served with a pork tenderloin. It was delicious! We'll be taking leftovers for lunch this week.

Packing Up Christmas

2010-01-03T21:04:00.004-06:00

Video duty this morning.

Then we packed up the Christmas stuff.

The End of the Procrastination

2010-01-02T23:39:00.004-06:00

Today I did a lot of school work that I've procrastinated for two weeks. Bruce played with one of his Christmas presents. Then we went to SMG for "Up In The Air". Not as light-hearted as I had assumed, but a good movie.

New Year's Day 2010

2010-01-01T20:18:00.002-06:00

Did a Wii workout. I look scared, but it was a good workout.

Then we went to see Sherlock Holmes.

Then to El Chico and the new spinach chipotle enchiladas. Spicy and flavorful. Yum!

A Cooking Challenge

2009-12-30T23:23:00.006-06:00

I challenged myself with a harder recipe than I normally try. I made chicken cutlets with angel hair pasta in spinach cream sauce. I followed all the directions to the letter and ended up with perfectly browned chicken. I even got to beat the chicken breasts with a mallet. (See video.)

It was a lot of work, but not too complicated and completely worth the effort!

Lazy Day At Home

2009-12-29T22:31:00.005-06:00

I did the laundry, bought groceries, cooked dinner, worked out with "The Biggest Loser" Wii game and played a cool new game with Bruce.

I waited for the snow most of the day and finally got to see it around 4:00. Too warm for any accumulation, but beautiful to watch fall.

Frosty Sunday

2009-12-20T08:35:00.001-06:00

Got up early for video duty in Plano. I had to scrape my windows, so I wasn't exactly on time.

I am happy about the following:

Picking up my sister Amy from the airport and taking her home. All the Allen girls were together for about 15 minutes yesterday.
My husband is the sweetest, most caring one alive. And he's mine!
Acapella music. It makes my heart happy.
Lunch with my best friends. And the fact that our group has gone from 3 single ladies to 3 happily married couples. (almost) :)
Beautiful Christmas decorations at church. (I remember a time when I would have been appalled.)

Go Boys!!

2009-12-19T22:44:00.001-06:00

Got home in time to see the Cowboys finish off the Saints. Woo hoo!

2009-12-12T14:30:00.002-06:00

My cousin Allen is Buford Biscuit. The family went to see them perform at the Meyerson Saturday morning.

Why I Teach

2009-12-11T19:26:00.000-06:00

My job is rewarding even under stress.

Very Long Day

2009-12-10T21:12:00.002-06:00

At 7:30 this morning I got to attend a meeting at which I was the model for critiquing a lesson.

Directly after that, I had a camera crew in my first period class. It went well but it was stressful to have a camera and boom mic follow me for 75 minutes.

This was also an 'A' day, so no planning period. Then tutoring until 5:00.

I've been laying on the couch since I got home and I'm about to go to bed.

Late Again

2009-12-09T18:16:00.001-06:00

Leaving work late again. The custodians are hard at work on the night
shift.

Back To Work

2009-12-08T21:34:00.001-06:00

I had to do my job today. Boy did I get spoiled having a student
teacher. I even had to do after school tutoring. I am as tired as the
first week of school.

No More Mr. Choi

2009-12-07T18:17:00.002-06:00

Today was my student teacher's last day. He did a great job and I hate to see him go.

A Good Sunday

2009-12-06T15:56:00.008-06:00

Praise Team and Audio duty today. Then lunch with Linda Mom and the BFFs. And Mary sent me the photos from the waterfall shoot last weekend!

Home Team Christmas Party

2009-12-05T22:36:00.003-06:00

We had so much fun at the home team Christmas party tonight. We went on a photo scavenger hunt around the neighborhood. It was a blast! We ended with a game of pass the presents. I hadn't done this one before, but it was very entertaining.

I leave you with one of the videos of the scavenger hunt.

Nertz Night

2009-12-04T22:28:00.003-06:00

We played Nertz at the Bartlett's with Kathryn and John. Had a great time. This picture is of Bruce and I fighting over the Nertz Necklace. The person who Nertzes each round gets to wear it for the next round.

School Supply Shopping

2009-12-03T17:36:00.000-06:00

It's interesting what I get excited about. Did I mention that my
favorite birthday present was an industrial hole punch?

Math Club Meeting

2009-12-02T16:19:00.002-06:00

The Mu Alpha Theta kids had a meeting today. We made posters to
advertise the club.

What the Kids Learned Today

Back To School

2009-11-30T12:26:00.002-06:00

The last stretch of the morning walk to my classroom.

Last Day of Vacation

2009-11-29T18:10:00.004-06:00

Started off at Praise Team practice this morning. Then church, lunch with Kathryn & John, and a Short & Sweet photo shoot in the rain. We even found a geocache nearby after the pictures were taken. Did you know there's a waterfall in Richardson?

I managed to take absolutely no photos today for my 365 Project. But Bruce asked me to help out with a picture for his presentation at school this week. So the day was saved!

Apparently I am demonstrating that the lack of a legally-possessed firearm will not deter a murderous intention. (Do I look much like Kathy Bates in this shot?)

Lazy Day

2009-11-28T15:29:00.002-06:00

Hanging around the apartment all day.

Good To Be Home

2009-11-27T12:45:00.002-06:00

Picked Up Mary and her family from the airport. I think Madi was
thrilled to be home. This was the first thing she did.
