Oh, those students!

So yesterday morning, when I was on 'morning duty' (watching the kids in the cafeteria since it's too cold outside) one of the 5th graders, who did not know I was pregnant said, "Mrs. Bally, you look like you pregnant."
I responded, "That's because I AM pregnant!" :) Student a little shocked.... Now, if I had not been pregnant, I probably would have been a little sad the rest of the day!! But, knowing that little Baby is starting to get bigger, I was excited! And yes, I owe pictures - I realize that - sorry!!!!

Another funny conversation at school that my principal filled me in on...
Location: Downstairs
Who's involved: Our custodian, Mr Heath; principal, Mr. Barber; and students in line waiting to use the restroom

Mr. Heath: Do you know when Mrs. Bally's due date is?
Mr. Barber: Actually, I don't really have any idea!
One of the students from their classroom line: July 2nd!!!

Mr. Barber shared that with me and I just thought it was so cute!! The kids are pretty excited - some ask if I had the baby over the weekend (no), several stare at my belly like it's ready to explode or something, and one thing I do love is that they are very honest and candid! (see first student comment above)

On a separate note, the web streaming didn't quite work for the inauguration yesterday, but luckily we had some t.v.s in the building that the kids could gather around! Definitely a historical day! :)

Tomorrow's another big landmark day - 17 weeks/ 4 months!! I can hardly believe how fast these weeks go - I can't wait to meet our baby and for it to get WARM outside!

Love
Laura
