22 Weeks

The time is flying by! I'm already 22 weeks and popping out. I took a sick day this week, and my students thought for sure I had gone into labor. They told me, "You just look big," as their justification for saying I went into labor. Thanks. These are the same brainiacs that struggled with 6 divided by 3. They kept shouting, "3!" When I reprashed the question as 3 times what number gives you 6, the answer was still an emphatic (yet clueless), "3!" You should have seen their faces when I asked 12 divided by 3. At this time I would like to point out that I teach 10th, 11th, and 12th graders. As a result of my experience, I have started reciting times tables to Boomer in the womb.

Brian was able to feel Boomer kick for the first time, which was awesome. Now Boomer's movements are visible from the outside, especially at night when he's really active. (A sign of what's to come???) I can sit there and watch my belly poke out at random intervals as he's adjusting himself. It's one of the most incredible feelings, but yet frightening at the same time. Ever watched the movie Alien? I rest my case.
