Bouncing Belly

Well today, I am pretty sure I freaked the kids out at school. Today we were playing a game and I sat down on the carpet with my kiddos. I'm not really sure how much longer I am going to be able to do this, but so far, I at least get down on the carpet with them once a day. As I was sitting there, Gunnar really starting moving and grooving in my tummy. The child sitting next to me happened to look over and said very worried "Mrs. Pettit, your belly is moving." It really was shaking, it looked like he was really beating me up. The kids thought it was pretty funny, but they also were very concerned about me and the baby. The decided that the baby just wanted to play the game with them.
Yesterday I stopped by school to *smile* for our class picture. (I wasn't at school because of driving Kyle back from the doctor.) As I was walking back with the kids after the picture one of the kids looked at me and said "Mrs. Pettit your belly is getting so big, I think the baby is going to make it explode. He just keeps getting bigger and bigger and pretty soon, BAM, you explode!" My aide told him that he thinks he is watching to many alien movies, which is probably true!
I think this is quite the experience for a lot of the kids in my class. They are all very excited about the baby, they just don't really understand that he isn't going to be coming out ready to play and come to school with me.
--Kyle is in a lot of pain today. His eyes are really bothering him. I don't know that he got out of bed other than to get food and use the restroom the entire time I was at work. I only know he had food because there was not only evidence on his shirt, but also on the bed sheets (BUSTED). When I got home he said "hey I picked up the house, but I can't see anything today, and my eyes hurt." I thought that it was quite the concept, he cleaned, but he can't see. If only I couldn't see, I am sure I would think the house is clean too! In his defense he really did try, he cleaned up the baby room some more after I was home and I even caught him playing with Gunnar's mobile. I love seeing Kyle get excited about the arrival of our little guy, I know he is going to be such a great dad!
