I am obsessed with baby clothes.

This was a super nice gift from J's cousin who was visiting from New York. It is my favorite outfit so far and I hope baby can wear it eeeeverrryyydayyyyyy!

Also in today's post:

A recent first grade conversation.

Me:
What do you think I should be for Halloween?

Student:
(thinking)... A snowman.

Me:
That's a really good idea. Why do you think I should be a snowman?

Student:
Because you're fat and you have a baby coming and snowmen are big and fat.

Me:
Oh. Ok. Thanks.

More first grade conversations.

Conversation 1:

My Former Student:
I know that Ms. C is pregnant!

Another Teacher:
Yeah! She is! How do you know?

My Former Student:
Because she is wearing special pants.


Conversation 2:

Student:

Your baby is growing.

Me:

Yes, he is growing bigger everyday!

Student:

But it's getting so big! It didn't used to be that big, and now it's so big.

Me:

You're right, and he's only going to get bigger and bigger!

Student:

When are you gonna take it out? 

Me:

...(thinking)...ummm... he'll be born around February....

(then I walked away)

Funny first grade conversations regarding my pregnancy.

(The wall by my desk at work)

Conversation 1:

Reading Specialist:

"...and I'm so happy to work with you all this year! Plus, you have a great teacher!"

Student A:

"Our teacher has a baby!"

Reading Specialist:

"...Uh, yes! That's right, she's having a baby!"

Student B:

"We're gonna see it come out!"

Me:

"No... I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen."

Conversation 2:

Student A:

"Are we going to see your baby?!?"

Me:

"Yeah! I'll come visit with the baby after it's born!"

Student A:

"What if it accidentally comes out during class?"

Me:

"Don't worry, that won't happen."

Student B:

"Yeah, it won't happen cause the baby can only come out if she cuts her stomach open."

Me, not wanting them to get freaked out about a stomach being cut open:

"Actually, that's not true. It can come out in other ways without cutting."

Student A:

"How?"

Me:

"I can't tell you that. You have to ask your doctor."

School has started and my students are super cute!

Nicholas, a boy in my class, is really excited about my baby and likes to talk to me about him/her all the time (he also gave me the drawings pictured above).

The other day, he said that if the baby is a girl, then her name is Kelly. If it's a boy, then his name is Mickey (sounds a lot like Nicki, which is his nick name).

Today, he said, "I hope your baby is cute. I hope your baby is not bald".

I asked, "Why not?"

He says, "So he can stay warm".

Later in the day, when it was time to say goodbye, he said,
"Bye! I hope your baby grows well!".

Too adorable!
