one day until Thanksgiving!

I've never been more ready for the Thanksgiving break! First of all, no work, second, I get to pig out on some Thanksgiving eats, and thirdly, we get to go to the doc to find out if the baby is a boy/girl! :) I can't wait! My belly is officially obvious (at least, the kids at school are now noticing). It's finally starting to sink in that I am really  pregnant. You would think the sonograms would be proof enough, but I guess it doesn't feel real until you see your body changing.  The kids at school have been so funny. Even kids that don't know me are finding out and saying, "When are you having your baby?" or "Is it a boy or girl?" One of my students was standing next to me yesterday, put her hands on my belly and said, "Hi little guy." :) It was too cute. Working with kids while your pregnant seems to make the pregnancy that much more enjoyable. They are really sweet about the whole thing. I'll finish this blog with a memorable quote from one of my students. After falling out of her chair twice in one day and having me ask why this was happening, her response: "I don't know.....I guess since it's fall???" Too funny.  :)

17 week update

So, it's been way too long since I've typed up a blog, but I kinda forget I have it (plus, I don't know if anyone is actually reading it..so if you are, let me know). :) My belly is come and go as of now. Some days I definitely look pregnant and some days, the bump just kinda disappears. Example below:

The first pic was taken on Oct. 21 and the second one on Oct. 27.... and a few days later, my belly looked just like pic one all over again.  I just took another one and will try to post it (if it will load!) We will hopefully find out if it's a boy/girl (if baby cooperates) next Tuesday. I can't wait to go back and see how baby has grown. As of now, baby is supposed to be the size of an onion. I weigh more that I've weighed since my freshman year of college (yes... I gained the freshman 15!), but I know it's all for the baby (that's usually what I say as I chow down my meals..HAHA!)  My computer is being extremely sloooow, so I better go before I throw it through the wall. ;-) Here's today's belly pic (at 17 weeks...about 4 months along)
