Secrets Out!

The last remaining individuals to find out I am expecting were my students(and if you remember they have been spreading a few "rumors" about me on the playground as well). On Thursday, I finally decided I was going to tell my students at school. I was trying to come up with a clever way to share the news with them (and then convince them not to say anything to their friends so it would be a surprise for all the students--not sure how well we did on that one!)

Here is how it went down. First up, the students were doing journal entries about qualitative and quantitative data collecting. So I showed them two pictures to identify those items within the pictures. Next up, I had them infer with a picture of two tigers playing/fighting in water. The very last picture was of my last ultrasound and had them predict with the image was. I heard responses anywhere from a deformed alien to cheerios to an animal. Most students did realize it was an ultrasound of a baby though, and as soon as I prompted them to predict who was carrying this baby...they responded with excitement and claps! I had a young gentleman (who seems like a "tough" kid call it a "peanut")! There were many congrats given to me and they were super awesome about it! There were a few of the students who said "I knew it!" but as I looked at their predictions it didn't back that up!

I think the group of students who will be going through this pregnancy with me could not be a better group of students to share it with. I really truly am blessed to work at such an amazing school with wonderful students. I would not trade it for the world!


Week 12 belly pick

My sleepiness is starting to get better. Still feeling great (except for smells can sometimes get me---I almost threw up in the bathroom at school the other day due to the smell). I also have another ultrasound next Wednesday so pictures to come! Until then, I plan to enjoy my 3 day weekend!
