Round Two

School started this week so I am just trying to get back into the old schedule. Every year starts the same with me missing last year’s class and wishing I could have them back. The first week always leaves me wondering if I will ever be able to connect with this new group of students. This year is no different – oh unless you count the devil’s spawn in the front row, and the other in the back row, and oh the other one sitting by the door, and a few more I am sure are lurking nearby waiting for me to let my guard down. We were warned about this incoming group of students, but I guess I should have been more prepared. Of course it doesn’t help that the first week of school consists of touchy feely get to know ya type activities. And in case you haven’t noticed I’m not really the touchy feely kind of girl. But hey, at least I’ve been kept busy. Hopefully this week will be better now that we are getting into the routine.

 On Tuesday I go in to have my progesterone level checked. Last week they reduced my shots. Supposedly my progesterone levels have always been pretty good, so I would imagine they’ll cut me off from the shots altogether pretty soon. I really haven’t had any pregnancy symptoms yet. I know it seems odd, but almost wish I had a little morning sickness just to reassure me that something’s still going on in there. The only symptom that is a constant is painfully sore breasts. Not much of a problem except that every morning a former student insists on bear hugging me. Rather sweet except for the fact that she throws herself at me leaving me wincing and my breasts throbbing for a good fifteen minutes.

 Our first ultrasound is scheduled for September 21^st. I’m still very uneasy. I took that whole day just in case it doesn’t go well.
