Halfway There!

Whew...Week 20! Not much new...not much to tell you all really. Still throwing up:( Not showing :( Not feeling any "kicks" since the umbilical cord is in the front :( I am counting the days until I can go on maternity leave to be honest. There is not much fun about a teacher who feels crummy 99% of the time. The earliest I can go out is March 23rd. However, Christmas break is coming so that will help give me a little reprieve.

You know what's really sweet though: Many of my former students who were around through our adoption nightmare and remember the ordeal of Mrs. DeLorenzo "going to get her baby" and coming home with no baby...are now in high school. Most have heard from younger siblings or neighbors that we are pregnant and have come back to visit or sent me letters saying how happy they are for me and my hubby. Isn't that cute? That is why I hate being at work when I am cranky. I love my students...they are such great kids. I even heard a few of my female students who see me running out of the room to go throw up say "I'm never having a baby." I have explained that not all women throw up so much (just lucky me - lol). Even funnier is how some of the boys react to me being pregnant...they don't want to make me get up so they come to my desk to ask me questions! I tell them I am not disabled :) Little cuties!
