A First For Everything

This is one of those things that I thought I would never get into. I told myself that boy I would have to have a lot of time on my hands to be able to sit down and commit myself to this. Well, the time has come (temporarily at least). I am pregant right now with twin boys and my doctors took me out of work about a month ago. That means for the last month, I have been trying to find ways to keep myself busy. The only catch is that my doctor just told me this week that I need to relax and stay horizontal as much as possible. That brings me to why I started this - I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment and nothing to do.
Let me introduce myself a little bit. Of course, my name is Lindsay. I have been married for about a year and a half and now we are expecting. I am a teacher, nanny, and cake decorator....or at least I have been lately until I had to stop working.
Well, I have to say a little about the whole being pregnant thing. Who would have thought that I would be having twins?! Everyone always tells me that God only gives multiples to the moms that he knows can handle it. I never thought I would be one of those but hey, I can't determine what God has in store. Most people say that I am pretty laid back so I think that may help me a lot. My husband on the other hand is my exact opposite with the whole laid back thing. I think most people are more excited to see how Chip reacts to the twins more than me. I think he will be a wonderful daddy though. I know that he is super excited about them getting here. He will even sit next to me on the couch with his hand on my stomach for hours at night waiting to feel them kick. I just love him even more for that!
Anyway, I have been teaching for about 3 1/2 years, working as a cake decorator for about 11 years, and have been watching other people's kids my whole life. Teaching is where my joy is. Even though I have days where I wish I could just throw in the towel, I also love my students and love seeing when I am making an impact in their lives. I have known since I was little that I would become a teacher. What is funniest to me is that I have been teaching for these last few years at the school that I went to when I was in K-3rd grade. Its so much fun teaching beside teachers that taught me when I was 5 years old!
Ok, enough about my life for today. You will hear lots and lots more to come!
