i told my kids at school last week about the baby. i hadn't planned on telling them so soon, but i had other teachers saying stuff in front of them, so i felt like i needed to fill them in since they are definitely old enough to understand. so, we played a game of hangman with our reading vocabulary words, and i threw in some phrases... one of which was "Mrs. Sluder is having a baby!" it took them forever to get it... but when they did, they went nuts! it was really cute and they said some hilarious things. one of the best quotes was, "you don't look like you're having a baby..." and someone else says, "she's not ALL the way pregnant, you dumby...she's only a little bit pregnant." while i don't advocate name calling in my classroom, i let this one slide b/c it made me laugh. :) so, for those of you wondering... according to 5th graders, it's possible to be only a little bit pregnant. they're a liberal little bunch of rugrats, and they don't even know it...craig got my treadmill put together last night...and wasn't too happy i had tried to do it myself earlier in the day, just as i had expected. i certainly paid for my "persistance" though. my stomach and back were really sore last night. but i felt good this morning and ran on "the mill" (as craig calls it). it was wonderful! i am really going to love it. it will be very nice to have during this pregnancy and most definitely AFTER.
