Oh, my it is sooooo sad that my last post was in April!!!!! Where the heck have I been?????? I guess I'll just pretend that I'm just starting to blog today for the first time. How does that sound????
I've had a few people ask me if I've started journaling yet about the joys and tribulations of pregnancy. I am ashamed that I haven't. So why not start today right????? I still can remember when I found out I was pregnant. I was at my 5:30 am turbo kick class thinking, "Why not take a test???" I guess I was tired of being frustrated. But my impatientness ran out and at 6:50 am I sat in the bathroom with my mouth wide open. I ran up the stairs screaming to Will, "WILL WILL GET UP GET UP!!! OH MY GOD!!!!" Of course tears running down my cheeks (Ok so we are debating on that spelling lol). Will jumps out of bed thinking I found a spider and I need for him to get the little bugger!! LOL I yelled, "WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!!" Will just sat there speechless. I was told to calm down of course LOL. The next thing I did, called my mom!! LOL I just can't keep anything from her!!! We both were trying to calm ourselves down just in case it was a misreading. Well, 4 tests later it was still positive and here I sit at 23 weeks pregnant!!!!!
I'm not going to lie, it has been a roller coaster and I think it always will be. SICK SICK SICK!!! Perhaps that is why I haven't been journaling about this miraculous life changing event? It wouldn't of been the best journal that is for sure!!! I would say that finally at week 21 I have started to feel back to my normal self. CELEBRATE: 1 month of no puking!!!!!!! Sorry to gross you out but it had to stop because I was literally starting to go crazy!!!! People say you forget about the rough times of being sick but I think how could you??? Were you puking for 21 weeks??? LOL Now I totally understand what they are saying. But I don't think Will will ever forget. Having to take 2 trips to the hospital to be hydrated isn't fun for anyone.
September 6, 2009 (Saturday 11:30 pm): We just got back from a nice relaxing evening of visiting Nunny and Papa at the campground. By the time we got home I was exhausted!!! I headed up to bed (playing my ipod touch of course) and thought to myself, "Wow those are some crazy gas bubbles!!!" They kept coming and I looked at my stomach move a little. Suddenly I realized what was happening and tears began to well up in my eyes. My little peanut was saying hello to mommy!!! I put my hand there and just felt the vibrations. Then a quick yell to Daddy downstairs about what was happening. Of course my little peanut stopped but it was so amazing that I got to experience it for the first time. That night I woke up in the middle of the night to Will sleeping with his hand ontop of my stomach. I put my hand ontop of his and said good night to my little angel.
September 8, 2009: The big day is finally here!!! We were going to finally see our little peanut on the screen!!! Grandma (aka goose), Will, and I all met at the doctor's office together. I don't remember seeing my mom so happy before!!! I was so glad that she was going to get the chance to see her grandchild. Will of course looking so nervous!!!LOL I love him so much!!! There we were watching the screen and the little peanut was moving all over the place!!!! The tech asked us all if we wanted to know what we were having and right away I said yes!!! She began, "Ok, there is the butt, and you see those 2 bumps??" Ummmmm ok???? LOL I didn't know what I was looking!! I thought oh, it's a boy. Look there is something sticking out???? Yeah, that would be the umbilicol chord!!! LOL "YOU ARE HAVING A GIRL!!!!!" Will immediately grabbed my hand as tears came rolling down my cheek. My mom took off her glasses and said, "Oh course it is. It was meant to be." My little girl will be named after her great grandmother. Mary Jean Hudson will be here in January. He due date is January 8th. There are so many memories from that day.
1. Before every dr. appt. I have to pee in a cup. So there we were after the ultra sound and I kept saying to myself, "I"M HAVING A GIRL!!!!" Ummmmmm I'm not peeing in a cup!!! LOL
2. The nurse wanted to take my blood pressure. I laughed and said, "You don't want to do that now. I can feel my heart beating!!!!" She immediately took the cuff off and said, "Yes, we are going to pretend that I didn't put the cuff on your arm!! LOL" By the end of appt. my blood pressure went down to 128/76 THANK GOD!!! LOL
3. My brother called while we waited for the doc to come in. I got to tell him on the phone and we were all going crazy!!! I got off the phone and my realized that she had to go to the bathroom. I told her where the bathroom was at. She left the room. Will and I still waiting and then all of a sudden we heard my mom, "Ummm I forgot where my daughter is at. She just had her first ultra sound and I can't find her." Then I heard Dr. Mohammadione say, "Oh she is right here. I will be in right behind you. Hello. I'm Dr.. Mohammadione and I'm her doctor." LOL That was their first meeting!!!!
I could keep going on and on about that day but I will leave you with this last memory that I thank God I was able to have. When my grandma passed away one of the last things I got to tell her was that Will and I were going to get married. After she had passed, Will sat with me one night and said, "I think our first born daughter should be named after your grandma." I have always been so close with my grandma. I think about her everyday and miss her so much. I've always wanted to be able to tell my grandpa that we would be naming his great granddaughter after his lovely wife. And on September 8th I was given the amazing opportunity to do that. I can still hear his voice on the phone. Both of our voices trembling from excitement and tears. I feel my grandma has had a part in this pregnancy and I thank her and God for letting me experience this with my grandpa.
I know there will be so many more memories and I'm so glad I have finally started journaling about them. I can't wait to meet my little girl. I can only hope and pray that she and I can be as close as my mom and I. I look forward to this journey...................

We're SINKING!!!
Hello to all!! I wanted to wait to do a post when I was on my laptop so I could insert some pics but the fam is asleep and I am in the office awaiting everyone's arrival:). First of all this vaca has been simply amazing. Wait for it........ AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. We have done so much and yet I still feel so rested. I think as time goes on I get more and more awestrucked of my bros accomplishments. We got to visit his squadron and see the plane that he flies. Again, AMAZING. I'm actually at a loss for words (YEs, Will it can happen, just not around you lol). As I look back at our fun days I think the most memorable will be yesterday's adventure. And what an adventure it was!!!!!
We were getting a pontoon boat at the marina. We woke up to an overcast sky and wind. But we figured the clouds would go away. Naturally the marina forgot to call us and let us know that they were not going to let any boats out today because it was too windy (HMMM that should be our first clue but wait........). Good thing we can go to another marina that is awaiting our arrival thanks to a phone call. I of course spoke up and said, "Well tomorrow the weather will be better wind wise if we just want to wait." The fam's reply: "What??? You don't want to go now???" Ok, insert foot and just agree. I was worried that it was going to be too rough, but what do I know I"m just a special ed teacher lol.
So there we are on the boat relaxing and yet chilled because of the wind. Jenica is wrapped so tightly that all I see on her is two eyes and a nose LOL. My bro had to make a phone call so I got to be captain Maegan!! I don't think I have gripped the wheel so hard in my life. BABOOM BABOOM BABOOM. UP and down up and down. We were in some rough waters and we kept getting splashed with water. Everytime we would hit a big wave you would hear me say, "OH my gosh I'm so sorry!!!!" This of course had them laughing hysterically because as the bro put it, "You can't control the waves!!" Poor Jenica looked like she was going to loose her lunch!!! That really was my focus of not hitting hte waves!!! The bro took over the wheel and I went back to relaxing. Until my bro purposely would hit a wave and get me wet. LOL
Now we are cruisin and trying to find Pirate Cove Beach to dock at. NOw we are getting more and more wet that my mom and I are covered in a towel. Jenica quickly gets up and runs to the back of the boat. I thought this is it the poor girl is going to get sick!!!:( My bro slows down a bit and now let me give you a visual here: We are all on the same side of the boat. Will is now sitting next to me and my mom. My bro says, "Umm why are you all on the same side of the boat???" So, I thought oh we need to even out the boat (Again I"m not captain here I'm just a teacher!) and Will and I move to the other side. I'm just sitting there enjoying the sun and WHAMO!!!!!!!!! I'm drenched and I look at the floor and see the bag of snacks floating to the back of the boat!!!!! Now, Jenica is hovering over the side of the boat and my bro slows way down. I run to the back of the boat. My mom now is hiding under a towel. It was classic!!! Suddenly we decided, "Oh our stuff!!! We might want to get it out and covered (DUHHH!!!) Jenica runs to the front of the boat with Will. The boat is almost at a standstill. Jenica goes to get my purse and I kid you not, we hit a wave that is so big that the front of the boat was down under. I thought HOLY SHIT WE ARE GOING DOWN@!!!!!! Will quickly grabs Jenica and yanks her back or she would of been swimming with the fishes!!! My Mom is screaming, bro is panicked beyond belief, and all I am doing is mouth wide open still as a statue because I'm about to pee and poop myself!!!! LOL LUckily my bro revved up the engine and we were saved!!! We decided that going to the pirate beach was not necessary!!! Suddenly we found an open beach and a bee line to the beach. Jenica brought me my purse and I thought, "OH its just my wallet in there so it should be fine...." UMMM then I realized something , "DUH!!! I brought my ipod to listen to music." Its been a black screen ever since. The consensus is that it needs time to dry out. But don't worry I have warranty on it so I should be ok regardless.
Our day was ended with a lovely day at the beach. The clouds went away, the water was calm, and the sunbathing was fabulous!!!!:)

RUN, RUN, AS FAST AS YOU CAN............
Hello all!!! What a week!!! For starters, it turns out that my school doesn't like to communiticate with ODE (Ohio Department of Ed) very well. As many of you know it is getting to be that wonderful time that all teachers dread: OAT (Ohio Achievement Testing). It seems from the special education perspective that we are always being told what we can or cannot do. I have such an awesome teaching partner who helps to keep me abreast of what is going on!! Nita found out from the other school that she is at, that there were some accomodations we were making that are not allowable and some that are now allowable. CRRRAAAZZZZYYYYY. It turns out that I can scribe for my students who have a disability with written expression and my 3rd and 4th graders cannot use calculators. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! So, in 5th grade they can use calculators????? I love the education field!!! I just wish that they could get it straight. Here, I've been letting my students use a calculator all year long and now I have less than a month (minus spring break) to get my students ready. As my buddy's mom would say, "I hate these tests MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!" Ok, ok, as Nita and I say, "I need to close the book on this." Thanks for listening though!:)
So Tuesday, began a very important day for me: I RAN!!!:) I guess you all have been inspirations for me. And let me stress the word "run" here. I would "run" and then walk. I know that is what you are suppose to do when you are first starting out. I did download to my IPOD the hip hop couch 2 5K (THANK YOU SARAH!!:)) I like that I have been setting goals and really working towards them. Although it seems that my scale is broken!!!:) LOL But at least I've gone down another inch. Keep it coming!!! I will listen to my buddy's pep talk today after school and keep going.
I will end my blog with a funny story that I think you will all enjoy. Actually, make that 2 stories. All to do with my lovely hubby. Let me start out by saying how much I love him and this is why:
1. I asked Will last weekend about doing the 5K with the fam in Columbus. Will asked me to look up the conversion of K to Mi. and I told him it would be a little over 3 miles. Wait for it........... "Uhhhh you know that would be like over an hour of walking?" LOL!!! He's saying this to a person who exercises at the YMCA 5-6 days a week!!!
2. So there I am running at Copeland Park with Mellody (PS: She is in training because she stinks at running with me. She is either trying to walk in front of me or wanting to visit with every person/dog at the park. We call her the welcoming committee.) Ok, so I'm running telling myself, "I can do this! Just keep going. Wait is that???? Yes it is!!!" Will was sitting at a picnic table enjoying the sun and playing on his palm pilot. He said that he knew I was at the park because his wife and dog were MIA when he got home from work. I ask him to join me for a walk. He proceeds to say that he is ok just sitting at the picnic table. I continue on my run. Once I was done, he walked with me out of the park. Oh I forgot, we live down the street from the park. I look ahead and see a familiar car. Will asks, "Do you want a ride home?" Yes, he drove to the park which again is down the street from us. I couldn't help but laugh. I told him I thought I could handle it (I was going to class at the Y in 30 minutes LOL).
I think I might need some help getting Will to be motivated here!!! LOL Once spring has come he tends to get a little more motivation to do things. God Bless America!!!

Say it again??????????????
Hello one and all!!!!
So what a week! I mean what the H***!! Monday was pretty fantastic, I'm going to admit I kicked butt at turbo kick (yes, dad the feet were leaving the ground again lol). Wait I need to back up here. On Friday, Feb. 27th I made a purchase of a lifetime....... Drum roll please............. I still can't hear you............... Ahhhhhh IPOD TOUCH was purchased!!!!! Again, nothing short of fantastic. If anyone is looking to buy an ipod, I strongly suggest the ipod touch (thanks Buddy for showing me yours!!:):) Ok, so now we are to Sunday and ummmm well I think I finally went to bed at 1:30 lol. And Monday..... another late one:). Tuesday arrived, and my throat was a bit scratchy. Well by the end of the day I was down for the count. And Wednesday I called off. Yes, I actually called in sick. So what if I did school work at night. I'm pathetic!! LOL Thank God I have a teaching partner because she keeps me rocking LOL!!! Nita leaves me a message that I think you all have to enjoy. Ok, I hope I get this all right, " Maegan, I hope you are feeling better because this is how my day was: I tried to unlock your door and the lock spun and the key wouldn't come out. So, the locksmith had to come. In the afternoon, I was called at Jones to let me know that *********(6th grade student who I had for a few years and is now on her list) went to her classroom to let everyone know that I (Nita) showed her condomns in my room that I keep in my drawer. God I hope you are going to be there tomorrow!" HOLY MOSES!!! I was laughing so hard. Have no fear people it was a complete misunderstanding with the condomn thing. She saw a green tea bag that she thought was a condomn. LOL!!!!!! We won't even go into why she knows what a condomn is or looks like. I had to go in on Thursday to rescue Nita!!:)LOL By Friday I really thought I was on the mend. Which brings me to today. Somehow in the night, we had a burglar come into our house and steal my voice!~!! LOL The doc says its viral. So, I'm praying to have my voice back because we have testing this week and I have a 1st and 2nd grade standfords to read. LOL It doesn't get much better than this!! Through all of this I have been trying to stay as positive as I can. I'm not going to let this bring me down. Wait, the 80's song just popped into my head.....Nothings going to break my stride, Nothings going to hold me down, Oh NO, I got to keep on moving.....:)LOL I'm thinking Will might be a little glad I don't have my voice LOL:).
I would like to end this by saying, thanks to all of you who prayed for my family this week. OUR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED!!! All is good on the homefront and there is no need to worry. Needless to say we are very happy and relieved!!:)

Dearest Betty
This morning my mom got a phone call from my Aunt Margret, "MARCIA!! Have you been watching 13abc new this morning?" My mom replied, "No, why? Is everything ok?" "BETTY Died in a house fire last night! I just saw it on the news!!" I knew when I answered the phone this morning that something was wrong with my mom. I could hear the frantic panic in her voice. I asked her what was wrong and she kept saying, "BETTY DIED IN A HOUSE FIRE!!" Ok, so now for some back up information. Who is Betty you asked? She is my second cousin. She lived with her mom 2 streets away from Will and I. Someone was driving down their street last night and noticed the house was on fire. So, they called 911. The firemen had trouble finding Betty and once she reached University Hosipital (MCO) she was pronounced dead. Thankfully, Aunt Sopie had a stroke a month ago and was in a rehab center so she is ok. Will and I drove past the house today and were just speechless. My heart aches for Betty's sister, Dorothy. Could you imagine getting a phone call like that?? The last time I saw Betty was at my cousin's wedding. I was given the opportunity to sit next to her at the reception. She always was so complimentary. I remember her telling me, "Your hair is just so gorgeous. How do you get it to curl like that?" She had a rough life, dealing with mental illness all of her life, but somehow she stayed strong. I am happy that she is with all of the Leonhardts, including her dad, Joey, and my grandma, Uncle Tom, Aunt Mary, and Grandma and Grandpa Leonhardt.
I think today really put some things into perspective for me, we just don't know how long we have on earth. Also, some people think they have such a hard life. Its time to think about what we have and how to cherish every moment. In a week my family will be going through another hurdle. I'm hoping and praying that things will go smoothly. So if you all could, please keep my family in your prayers!!:)

ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!
Hello to all!!! What a day today!!! First of all, I've been really pushing myself in the working out department. I go at least 5 days a week. Pretty much I freakin' love turbo kick. Yes, Dad if you are reading this my feet are leaving the ground at the same time LOL. In fact, there is one move that I have to jump and turn my body and do a 180 degree turn:P. I'm pushing myself to whole new levels and it feels so invigorating!! This morning I finally accomplished something that I had been wanting to do for a few weeks. I went to a turbo kick class followed by flippin fun (swim laps with flippers and in between each lap we do 12 pull ups). I always thought, "No, I can't do this it will be too hard. I know how turbo kick literally "kicks" my rear!" I was watching The Biggest Loser yesterday and I thought, "Darn it! If 300 + lbs are running then I can do it too!!" I'm happy to report that I did accomplish it today and it felt great. It will be my new Saturday adventure. What's the next hurdle??? I'm trying to gear up to run a little with Mellody. Again this has been another mind game, "There is no way I can run!! I'm too fat!! I'll die!!!" I'll let you know on my status of the running. I'm thinking about working with a trainer (she's my swimming instructor) and she is great. We talked a little about it today. We'll see. Maybe I'll start going on the tred mill (once I get my IPOD touch~hint hint Will:)).
I had an awesome dinner date tonight!! Will and my mom and I joined my good friends and their twins for dinner. I can't believe how big they are getting. THey will be 3 in June. It was so great to see their kids. To end my night I shall work on lesson plans. Yeah, you heard me lesson plans on a Saturday night. I am sooooooooooooooooo ccoooooolllllll LOL!

AUNTIE MAEGAN
So, I received the best news this week, "MY BROTHER IS GOING TO BE A DADDY!!!" I'm still in a bit of a shock. The way I figure it, we had a weddings 2 months apart, we might as well have kids 2 months apart!!! LOL Its kind of been frustrating though. Almost every time I tell someone the awesome news (big smile on my face) I get the reply, "Oh that is great. How are you holding up?? HOw do you feel about it?" Ummm lets see, I'm super excited and can't wait to meet my nephew or neice. How am I suppose to reply to that???? Then of course I'm told that it is human nature if I am upset. Again, remember that I had a huge smile on my face. At about this time I"m beginning to frown. I know that God has a plan for Will and I. Sure, it might be taking us a little longer to begin the family process but it hasn't even been a year yet. It will happen I know it!!! For right now though, I want to be focused on my brother and Jenica's happiness. Will and I are going there over Easter with the goose (my mom lol) and I can't wait to celebrate in person. I just don't know how I'm going to handle another neice or nephew being so far away though. Columbus sometimes feels so far away and I won't even dive into the Morocco distance LOL. I am so blessed to have all of my neices and nephews. "Maegan FARM" as Sam would say:). I have been thinking about so much this week and my students put it in perspective for me today. A student asked, "Mrs. Hudson do you have kids?" My other student replied, "No, (pointing at my picture calendar Sam is Mr. February lol) she has Sam. He is her nephew. and She also has a dog. lol" It just warmed my heart when she said that. I thank God for giving my family such blessings. So my reply to my students are, Yes, I do have Sam, and ray, and Zetta, and soon a baby seguine!!!" (I'm not going to lie, I'm hoping for maybe just one more baby to that list!!!:) Only time will tell. But for right now, Baby Seguine, I can't wait to meet you and share all the wonderful and yet hillarious stories of your Daddy. Your pretty lucky, you've got some pretty awesome parents. And to Christopher and Jenica, I love you so much and am so happy for you both!!!!
