16 weeks

Sorry for not posting for a week. This summer will have me limited on internet access until we move and get internet at home. I may only be able to post once a week.
The baby and I are doing fine. My headaches are still going strong for a few hours a day. On Friday I had a bad one that lasted most of the day.
Moodiness has also kicked in. Rob liked it when I took it out on the lady at Kroger, but when he became the target it wasn't as much fun. I didn't know what to do because I knew I should be mad, but I couldn't help it. Rob is a good sport though. He just calmly waited for me to stop being mad since he knew he didn't do anything that deserved my wrath. :)
We were supposed to take a picture Friday of my ever growing belly, but we have had a crazy last couple of days. We leave for camp tomorrow, so it will be a little while before I post again.

This picture was taken one night when my stomach was pretty big. But, if you flip back to the first picture it is crazy to think that I have changed that much. I think I look about the same now as I did in this picture, but next week will be 16 weeks, which means time for another picture. We'll see then how big I have gotten. People are starting to notice my belly now, which is fun.
On another note, the pregnant Melissa is a lot more forceful than the non-pregnant Melissa. For example: We went to Kroger (the same one that refused to give us milk for the price that was on the sticker a few weeks ago) yesterday to pick up some baking items needed to make cookies for today. Anyway, we knew it was a Saturday and would be a little busy, but this Kroger made me mad. They had one lane open plus the self check-out. We were third in line, so it wasn't a big deal until someone tried paying with food stamps and we had to wait for someone to come mess with those. Again, normal stuff, but we were standing in line for about three minutes, without moving. Now there are three more people behind us and the self-check out is backed up. I left Rob in line and found the manager to ask why on a Saturday there was only one line open. She wasn't very friendly, but I told her as she was walking away that it was bad business. By the time I got back our line was moving, and before we left she had called up another cashier and some baggers. Okay, so that took a lot more room to tell than I thought it would, but Rob and I got a kick out of me doing something pretty out of character.

Oh and as far as the polls go...so far our child will be a girl with half blonde/half black hair. :)
Eventually I'll remember to post a picture, but I finally have a "baby bump" as one of my students called it. It still changes size drastically (we think from gas...which I've had a lot of) :) The second trimester has brought along headaches and lots of zits. Yesterday, I only had a headache for about and hour, so that was good since for around a week I have had at least a small constant headache. Those of you that remember when my face broke out really bad when I was on the patch birth control...well that is what I look like again.
Other than those two things all is going well. With this being my last few days of work, I'm excited to be able to sleep in soon.

Job opening

There is a posting for a job I really want at a middle school close to our house. It sounds like a perfect fit for me, so be praying that God will open the right doors for me to get this job. If I could get a job before the summer starts, it would ease my anxiety about the fall. I sent a letter to the principal to let him know I wanted the job, so after Wednesday when the posting closes for contract teachers to transfer to it (which is not me), pray I get a call for an interview.
Thanks.
