Limbo

I feel like my life is in limbo right now. My next big adventure is subbing for a teacher that is going on maternity leave. She is due February 5th so I could start subbing any day now!!! The closer it gets, the more anxious I get knowing that I could get a call today asking me to be there tomorrow ready to teach 5 classes of 8th graders! I feel like it's one of those things where I won't feel ready until I get there. I've visited the classroom a few times and I'm somewhat familiar with her procedures. She even has a detailed outline of each day and the worksheets I will need to use. There's nothing to stress about there. I guess the main thing I'm worried about is making an impression the very first day that even though I'm a sub, class still needs to function just as well as it did with their own teacher. I've been visiting the classroom so the transition can go as smoothly as possible... I guess I just feel like that first impression is so important and I need to be ready for that with very short notice... but I don't feel like I'm there yet. I don't know what more I can do to feel ready. I guess I will just have to wait for that phone call and make the best of it! Hopefully the first day will go smoothly and I won't have to worry about it! Sorry for the rambling. My thoughts are all over the place right now. I'm guessing after the first day I will feel a lot better about it, but until then....

On a lighter note, we find out whether we're having a girl or a boy in 6 days!!! I'm so excited! It's like Christmas all over again but better. I'm excited to be able to do some shopping for the baby and paint the nursery. I've been feeling the baby kick more and more which is amazing! I am 19 weeks today so 1 more week and I'll be halfway there! I can't even believe it.
