Last Leg of the Journey

Today I presented my graduate research project at UNR. It went really well and it's a great weight off. It was cool because my principal and a few teacher friends came for support. Now I just have to finish my humongous paper which is due November 10and I will be done with my educational career. And that my friends, is some of the best news ever.

Funny

Today I saw a guy wearing a shirt that had the words "Recreational Gynecologist" in huge letters across it. I thought it would be rude to take a picture to post on here, so you'll just have to take my word for it. I wonder if his wife is the one who bought the shirt?

For the Inquiring Minds

Thanks to everyone for their kind words about the baby! We are so very excited. So, to answer a few of your questions:

1. I am 12 weeks and due April 26.

2. I haven't had any morning sickness! But I do have quite the gag reflex. I had a student throw up in front of me a few weeks ago and I just about lost it. I just can't handle anything gross right now.

3. I am not telling my students I'm pregnant (unless of course they read this blog!!!). I figure they'll figure it out eventually. I just don't want any awkward conversations about "How'd that happen?" Ironically, the Sex Ed. teacher is scheduled to come in the week I'm due, so I figure she can clarify for my students exactly how babies are made. In the mean time, they can just think I have a tumor or something.

4. We're not finding out what it is, but we are pretty sure it's a boy. (Forget I mentioned this if it ends up being a girl.) I want to find out, but Jamin doesn't, and so he wins.

5. All of the names I like don't sound good with our last name.

6. I wish I could start maternity leave now.

7. I have been very successful in my mission to give up Diet Pepsi during pregnancy.

So that pretty much sums up everything to this point! Only 8 weeks until graduation!

The bun's a cookin'

Yes, it's true...Jamin and I are going to be parents in April! We are so excited we can't even stand it!
