How are you feeling?

I am positive I have never been asked this question so many times, as I have in the last four or so months.  It seems like the necessary question to ask a pregnant woman.  I'm pretty sure just about 90 percent of people I talk to ask me that. 

But I am not complaining.  I am happily accepting everyone's concerns and nice gestures for me and plan on soaking it all in the next three months.  

Last weekend Chris and I went to this university that isn't far from our house.  I can't believe we've never walked around here before.  Besides being super windy that day it was perfect for pictures.  I have plans of coming back and having someone take some real maternity pictures for us!

I am so thankful that it is Friday.  This week has seemed ridiculously slow and I am ready for the weekend!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I've had a few interesting conversations with my students about being pregnant, but this one definitely takes the cake for the funniest and most awkward. 
Mrs. Vale, when is that baby coming? In about 13 weeks. Did you get the thing you get when you're pregnant? What thing? You know where you vomit? Yes. I was sick at the beginning but I feel really good now.So are you thinking about doing that whole breastfeeding thing?Cue embarrassed teacher and attempt to think quickly.  Um, yes. Most moms do that.So what. You think you'll do that for about 18 months or so. Okay, time to get back to work. 

And within 30 seconds half my class had heard from another that he asked me about breastfeeding.  Let's just hope this wasn't a topic of conversation at multiple dinner tables that night.
