Baby bump....

Or should I say baby HUMP!  My bump has definitely turned into a hump...  Here are some pics of my belly (ahem Chana and Cami) and some fun things I am finding increasingly difficult to do at school like: -give my kids hugs because I'm just the right, tall height for their faces to smash right into my belly
-stand up for more than 10 minutes, most teaching is done sitting on a child's desk who is absent that day
-bend over to pick anything up, therefore my kids pick up anything I drop like markers, erasers, or papers
-wear shoes all day, I often teach barefoot in the pm (which makes it quite hypocritical to tell my kids to keep their shoes on)
-walk my kids to lunch, recess, and prep, thank goodness for my level 2!!!  Braxton hicks arrive every time I have to make the long journey to the lunch room
-get out of my rolly chair, which leads to me just sitting and rolling around the class a lot
-sit on the floor to play math facts games, we no longer sit on the floor.  period.
-make it through the day without peeing at least 3 times, we takes lots of bathroom breaks
-wear dress pants, I am super sick of the same 3 pairs
-eat regularly, we have snack time (at least I do) every day at 10:30
-not get annoyed by my kids, let's face it everything annoys me at this point

but.... I have found some great things that have come from being pregnant around kiddos. 
See examples A and B:

Student A:  Mrs. Deaton, are you going to have your baby soon?
Me:  Yes, (student) very soon!
Student A:  That's cool.  I know a girl in my neighborhood that is pregnant. 
Me:  Oh really?
Student A:  And she is only 15!!!
Me:  Wow, that's pretty young to have a baby.
Student A:  Yeah, and she's not married either.  But, my dad said you shouldn't say mean things to pregnant ladies.
Me:  Oh really, how come?
Student A:  Well, he says you shouldn't ever make a pregnant lady mad.
Me:  (trying not to burst)  Very true!

Student B:  Mrs. Deaton I have a secret to tell you (as she grabs my face and pulls me close)
Me:  Oh really, what is it?
Student B:  (giggling)  I think you're baby is going to be really cute!  Don't tell anyone I said that!  But she is :)
I just love kids!  I may have been a little ornery with them lately, but we'll blame it on the hormones.  They really do make me smile!  I can't wait for our little B to get here to make me smile!

You're little students are very smart- one should NEVER make a pregnant lady mad, and you ARE definitely going to have a very cute baby! ;) You look adorable- I hope little B decides to make her entrance before graduation so we can see her!!!

Loving the baby hump! It is soooo cute =) Then nice thing is, as soon as she is here...it goes down, but the not nice thing is that it isn't tight ;) that is a work in progress!

I loved reading this post, becuase I totally understand what you meant by all of that school stuff! I can only imagine what the last 5 weeks would've been like. Hang in there, she will be here SO soon!
