Simmons, Party of 3!

It's true! In about 6 months, these two people will be parents! Weird! (Trigger already looks less than thrilled).

Since we're so far away from everyone who probably cares about the progress of this little nugget, I'll keep you updated here!  We've seen him or her once already... I was in complete denial. I was positive there would be nothing to see and the doctor would call me insane! Nope! I'm not just getting really fat...there is, in fact, a baby growing in there! You can see the big head and little arm right there!

So far I've been lucky, I haven't really been sick! At least not pregnancy sick. I've just had a sinus infection for around 6 weeks and counting. Now that I'm passed my first trimester, I wouldn't say I have tonnnns of energy like people say, but I at least don't feel like a walking zombie.

So far I just feel like I look like I've eaten 7 pizzas, not pregnant. Ahhh the joys of being only 5 feet tall. I'm looking forward to when I actually look pregnant and not just fat! Serious comment, not looking for compliments here!

On that note, in the last 13 weeks, I've noticed a dramatic change in the things people say to you. It's like a switch flips and people think they can say whateverrrr they want to you in terms of what you look like. Call me dramatic, or hormonal, or whatever you'd like, but there are certain things you should just keep to yourself! A good rule of thumb:

• compliment (you look so cute) great! 
• comment (you're showing early, I can't believe you're already wearing maternity pants, I think your having a girl because you're carrying wide already) pleaseeee keep to yourself!

I'm just speaking for myself, but I think a lot of pregnant ladies would agree... You don't feel very cute, you don't feel very well, and your hormones are all over the place. It's not a great time for ANYONE to be commenting on your appearance!

On a lighter note, my students are hilarious and want to be the ones to name the baby. I might be zombie-like tired, but don't worry...I'm not that crazy! They ask me about the baby basically every day, which I think is funny. I really didn't think they would care one bit! They also ask me about "Mr. Simmons" all the time, which is reallyyyyy funny to me. If you know Jacob at all, the fact that anyone refers to him as Mr. Simmons is just really funny!

Oh and also, we got a new car! A car seat wouldn't exactly fit well in a 2 door car! I'm prettyyyy excited about it!
