Kids and pregnancy

I enjoy the comments I get from students now that I have a pregnant belly.

Third grade student: "Is your baby going to come out from your legs or your stomach?"

First grade student: "What I don't get is how the baby comes out?!"

First grade student (after giving me a hug): "Whoa! Your stomach is hard as a rock!"

It's also always funny when they ask if I'm pregnant. The older kids are kind of scared to because they are starting to understand that it may not be the best thing to ask a woman.  They are always relieved when I say that yes I am.  Sometime I want to say that I'm not and see what someone says. :)

Today in third grade one of the student comes up to me with a kids anatomy book and there are pictures of a lady's stomach with the baby in size at different times during pregnancy and she asked me which one was me.  :)

I've had a couple kinder kids come up and put their ears up to my stomach and say they can hear the baby.  It's pretty darn cute.

I kind of love it when the kids will just come up and hug my stomach.  I had one student that would do it like every hour.

I remember being freaked out when I had to be around pregnant ladies when I was younger.  I have a memory of spending the night at a friend's house and when I saw that her mom was pregnant I started crying because I was scared.  Haha

Nursery (Part way there)

We are only part way through with the baby's room but so far we are loving how it is turning out.  I finished the mobile that hangs above the crib.

We have the main pieces of furniture except we need to add the dresser.  This Saturday we will be painting it and putting it in the room.
We were super excited to find a newer mattress on craigslist.  It's kind of scary buying a mattress off of craigslist but the people we got it from lived in a really nice clean house so that made us feel comfortable (plus we got a mattress pad to put over it).  We bought the frame at D.I. and a headboard from D.I. too for a total of $20.  The headboard will be painted hopefully this weekend too.

Thomas and I love to just peek in the room and look at it whenever we pass.

I am slowly collecting books to start baby's collection.
Thomas' mom is making pillows and a valance and bed skirt for the room which will add some more color.
I think they only other piece of furniture we need to buy is a mirror to go above the crib :)
Little Brooklyn already has a nice stock of tutu's and shoes thanks to her Aunt Angie and Grandma Sandee :)
