I have started telling my classes the exciting news by playing a game of hangman. The puzzle is "Mrs. Cunningham is having a baby." It is really funny to see their faces once they have figured out the answer! I plan to have the kids write down some funny advice, baby name suggestions, and if they think it's a boy or girl and save all of it in a book or something. My friend Annie gave me that idea! I have already gotten some great advice. One 3rd grade girl said that "if the baby is crying, peek-a-boo is best!" I will definitely keep that in mind. I have also gotten some great names, such as Bob, Fred, Football, Soccer, etc. I do need some more boy name ideas so we'll see!
So far, most of the kids have said, "You don't look pregnant!" So, THANK YOU!! but it is definitely sticking out there more and more.
I did have a 1st grader ask, "So, how did you know you were pregnant?" hmmmm. My 'quick thinking' came up with, "Well, my husband and I were wanting a baby, so we were expecting it." At least she bought that. Next time I'll use my friend Katie's answer, "The doctor told me."
There will definitely be MORE TO COME with these funny stories!
Also, look back soon for pictures from my school Christmas party and my cousin Megan's baby shower.
