Out of the Mouth of Babes

Well, I must really be pregnant because the kids at the daycare are starting to notice. And I sure get some funny comments from some of them, so I thought that I would share a few.

- (from a 2-year-old) After looking me up and down a couple of times said "You have big tummy"

- (from a 4-year-old) She stared at me and asked with a serious expression "Is there a ball under your shirt?"

- And my personal favorite came from two 7-year-olds. The first boy asked "Are you pregnant?" And the second boy looked at him and said "You don't ask that question to a woman".

I had to hide my face some of the time to keep from laughing out loud. I have also been given several name suggestions from the children who think I should name her Sidney, Sara, or Jeremy. They weren't happy when I told them that Will and I had already picked a name we liked. Of course, like father, like son. I have also gotten some very bold statements from the parents at the daycare. One lady just a week ago looked at me and asked "When did you get pregnant?" I thought about telling her it was about 36 weeks ago on a romantic night, but I bit my tongue instead. Another parent stared at me incredulously and told me that my cork (belly button) was sticking out already. At that, I had to laugh. I guess being pregnant at a daycare has its funny moments. This is my last week working there. My bosses are starting to worry about me lifting and bending over and stuff like that, so I will just get to relax for the last 20 days until the big day. Woohoo!

People say the weirdest things to pregnant women. At least you are laughing about it. I hope no strangers have tried to rub your belly yet either. :) Almost there!

You sound very gracious to all those nosy strangers. Soon soon! We'll be out for the baby blessing. :-)
