time keeps crawling by...

Well, here I am, 7.5 weeks along, and still so far away from the "you're in the clear" date. I've been eying that November 4th doctor's appointment since I made it nearly five weeks ago, so at least it's a little reassuring to know I'm getting closer to that.

This past week while telling a story in one of my classes they thought I said "I'm having a baby" instead of "If I have a baby..." so they are all "convinced" I'm pregnant and like to tease me about it. It will be really fun to actually tell them and hear them cry "WE KNEW IT!" I just can't even begin to fathom how excited these kids will be to hear that Baby Garcia is on the way--it's always a big deal when a campus baby is born, but I think the fact that James has been here so long and we both teach here will make this one even more exciting for the kids.

This past weekend I along with some of my friends threw a baby shower for our friend Megan, and it was definitely weird to be around all this baby talk, knowing that I'm pregnant but that not many others know. I did end up telling Megan and Alan, mostly because Megan flat out asked me at one point, and we all know how bad I am at lying!
