My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Well My husbands Grandmother died last week. This is really sad being that he is the only grandson ( male decendent on his fathers side) So this baby meant a lot to this grandmother . There was a lot of pressure to have the baby before she passed ( she was very old).. Atleast we got pregnant..
I'm not heartless.. I just regard death as a peace ending to life especially when it comes to death in old age. It's where i find me peace with death.

i went to the Dr's yesterday.. Doctor let me listen to the heart beat.. He's soo funny it's like he was doing me a favour letting me listen.. i guess it's my own non chalent attidude though so i don't take offense.. It was abotu 144 BPM ( when i got home and counted). He told me to book a Ultrasound ASAP.. since they take 2-3 weeks to arrange i should do it now even though i don't have my health card to officially go yet. So HOpefully that appoitment i'll get to know the sex..Which i'm not telling my husband, cause he keeps telling me he'll cry if it's a girl and i think thats just horrible.. But it's a culture thing i know.. Doctor told me to come back in 2 weeks for a pap. Made me pee in a cup and requested some blood stuff.. He seemed to be a little weirded out i waited so long to get any of this done.. But my hands were tied.. China wouldn't do anyting until 10 weeks and i left at 14 weeks.. Between those 2 points i knew i was leaving and no one wanted to do anything because i was leaving.. / couldn't get a doctor.
My family Doctor asked who i wanted for a Gynecologist.. I had no idea. i'm not familiar with any in the area except one thats kinda weird. This guy was doing some things down there.. and started singing " When a man loves a women".. Ok it was funny but made me a little uncomfortable.. I'm not against the guy.. just prefer something else. His sense of humour is slightly different
Had my first day of work.. Oh it was rough.. 10 Kids testing my limitation.. ARgg.. And the paper they waste. take a whole new sheet to cut one little hole in it.. then the next one does the same.. I told them they are killing trees.. they told me it's not a tree it's paper.
I"m sooooooooooo frustrated! I don't mind them using paper but they should use it wisely they are kindergarden to grade 2 age.. They don't know this lesson yet?
I'm not this big save the enviroment kinda person.. However, i don't believe in wasting things..

I think i might have to head to a library to find some french enviromental books ( or english and translat as i go) and do a recylcing / help our earth unit. The director of the daycare old me they were good kids.. I had one girl jumping on the boys kissing htme making them run.. Argg.. they were all running.. they kept standing on this stwirly thing.. Arggg.. I know it takes time when your a new teacher.. This is why i like them really young.. they just trained that they have to listen to adults.. I don't have that scary angry thing to me.. Kids just don't fear me.. the only one that does is my own daughter.. when i need her to.

Well i'm going to go eat my berries.. YUmmmm.. I got away with no pre natal vitamins.. I promised i was just eating super healthy and there was no need.. he didn't push the matter.. PHEW! So I actually have to eat healthy now.. Naw i'm pretty good in my opinion

Sorry for the passing of your husband's grandmother. My baby's heart rate was at 170 BPM, the dr told me that higher heart rates are girls and low heart rates tend to be boys. Maybe it just a wise tale, but you never know. =)

Sorry to hear about your husband's grandmother. Also glad that your appointment with the doctor went well, even without your card. That doctor that you were talking about, singing when a man loves a woman, Creepy! That would freek me out a little hahaha! As for your job, well congrats and good luck! I used to work in a daycare and I know how it can be. I'm now a interventionist at school so I have kids testing me everyday. For the wasting thing, I used to only let them have a certain amount of paper or even cut a sheet in 2 or even 4 so they wouldn't waste as much. It was a too bad so sad thing and they learned. Hope that your day goes better!
