Lots of you have been asking about my pregnancy. Thanks so much for your questions, concerns, and prayers. I am just about 25 weeks along. I'm feeling great. I'm definitely showing. Last week at church, someone congratulated us on our pregnancy by taking a look at my tummy. I guess it's pretty obvious now.
The kids at school have started to say what I call memorable comments, well they always say memorable things, but now they're about me and our little guy. I have done my best to smile and address the fact that these comments aren't exactly appropriate to be making towards a teacher or to anyone for that matter. Here are a few examples from the last couple weeks:
"Does your back hurt Mrs. Walcott?"
"Yes, I guess it does a little bit."
"Is that due to your pregnancy?"
"I think so Adam," I said.
"Well, you should be thankful it's not vericose veins."
---------------------------------------------------
"I can REALLY tell from the side that you are pregnant!"
"Yeah Mike, I can't really hide it anymore."
"Well, you are gonna have to work really hard to get rid of that [weight]."
----------------------------------------------------------
"Mrs. Walcott, tell me about your exercise routine."
(I ponder the question.)
"Jimmy, are you calling me fat?"
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Would it be weird if I came and visited you in the hospital?"
"Yes. You may not come."
"But I'll know when you're there becuase my mom works there."
"It would be weird. You may not come."
"What if I just show up?"
Being a high school teacher definitely adds an interesting layer to my pregnancy experience :)
