TGI..(finally)..F

I'm so thankful it's Friday. I have been wore out all day! We had some bad weather come through middle TN last night and I am the weather "worry warrior." I will worry myself sick until the worst of it finally gets here and then usually, nothing happens! Haha. I guess it's better to be prepared though... just incase. Since Jordan works nights, it makes nights like last night even harder on me. One day while I was in grammar school we had several tornados hit middle TN while I was at school. I will NEVER forget this day as long as I live. At one point they had everyone in the gym, against the walls, with books over our heads when a teacher runs in screaming "It's coming! It's coming! Get DOWN!" The tornado actually came through the field infront of the school and circled AROUND the building. NO ONE could have told me there wasn't a GOD that day. I truely believe he was the one protecting us. Even though it didn't actually hit the building it was still one of the most scariest moments of my life and every since that very day I have been TERRIFIED of storms. I'm talking eyes glued to the radar, not sleeping a wink until it's passed king of terrified. So all day yesterday was spent with an uneasy feeling for the weather to come later in the night. After Jordan left for work I was texting him telling him I'd wished he'd just stayed home with us. I know, big baby, right? A few times I even contemplated going to stay the night with my mother in law or mother. So after a long night of radar stalking, nothing happened at our house except a little wind and rain. Needless to say I was T-I-R-E-D when it was time to get up this morning. I have literally been dragging all day. I feel like I could fall asleep right now as I type this. Luckily, I only have 2 and a half hours left in this work day! So I am saying TGIF with pride on this Friday afternoon.

As for weekend plans, we don't have too much on the agenda. We have to take my car to get 2 new tires sometime tomorrow. (We had to get the other 2 last week.) I'm kind of hoping for a slow and relaxing weekend. :) We did have plans to take another peak at little strawberry tonight after I get off. As of right now, that's still up in the air because my sister in law hasn't talked to the ultrasound tech she works with yet. But. We will be taking a trip up there sometime this weekend... if not tonight. I am SUPER anxious about this peak since I am just a few days shy of 15 weeks and 15 weeks is when we saw Tuff's little private area for the first time on the big screen. I'm hoping to have some official results for everyone on Monday. What do you guys think? Blue or Pink????

I will tell you all this, strawberry has been causing some more consistant morning sickness. Which is odd since I'm in the 2nd trimester now. My sickness is worse now than it was in the 1st trimester. Oh well, I guess everyone is different. And I look at it like little strawberry is just reminding me on a daily basis that he/she is indeed growing in there. If that's the case, I don't mind the sickness one bit. :)

On another note, I really appreciate the wonderful tips from Amber and Amy on the Day School I wrote about in my post yesterday. I was feeling pretty good about it but after I read your comments, I felt even more assured and the extra assurance sure helps!!! I know I'll be a nervous wreck leaving him the first few times but I know now he'll be in good hands! So thanks girls!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!!
