Can you tell I'm pregnant?


This is me at 15 weeks (one week ago). I had a funny experience at school about a month ago. Before I told my students that I was pregnant, I felt like I was starting to show a little (around 11 weeks). I had a student in one of my classes tell me that I looked pregnant in front of the whole class. I was embarrassed because I realized I was definitely starting to show, and she was embarrassed because she thought she had really offended me and that I wasn't pregnant. Poor dear. At least she'll be more tactful in the future. I told all of the students about a week later that I was, in fact, pregnant.
I realized my last post was kind of negative about being pregnant, so I better let everyone know that we're very happy and excited about this new little one in our life! Everyone seems to think it's a boy, including Trevor and me...but can you really be sure? We'll find out in about a month. I'm really looking forward to feeling the baby move. Sometimes I just need the assurance that he/she is still alive in there.

You look beautiful! I can't wait to see more pregnancy pictures of you. It's like a line from Gilmore Girls, "women all over the world would line up to see that tiny woman fat"

You look great! I totally know how you feel about wanting to know your baby's still alive and doing OK in there! I went to the doctor today and they used the little machine to hear the baby's heartbeat. In the few seconds it took the nurse to find it, I was SO SO nervous! But there it was, beating away.
I can't wait to hear whether you're having a boy a girl!

Cute, cute, cute! I love the bump! Both Ella and Henry were wiggle worms, and though it was bothersome at times, it was worse when they were still. It's so easy to convince yourself that something is wrong.

I'm so excited for you!

You're absolutely adorable! I love it! I think it's a boy, too. Now watch, it will be a girl and prove us all wrong. :)

So my vote is it's a girl. I know boys are WAY DOMINANT on both your's and Trevor's sides, BUT I am trying to defy the odds :). Yes, you can KIND of tell you are pregnant... so it's fun that people know, but still VERY cute!

Yay I am glad you took a belly picture. You have to document the growth! I liked your story because it is the total opposite of my kids at school. They didn't even notice I was pregant despite the growing belly. I told them at about 20 weeks or a little after. I guess middle schoolers are a bit more observant than 2nd graders:)

Oh my gosh! I feel so bad! I had no idea you were pregnant! Congratulations!! That is so great! So I saw your link on Sheri's blog and thought I would check it out and i am so glad I did! Who knows how long it would have been before I noticed! :o) Well our blog is
4ratsinutah.blogspot.com if you want to see it. Take care and enjoy, I actually miss being pregnant. I know crazy!

Yay! And I want it to be a boy so Baby Hawkes can be friends with Naters. Of course, if it's a girl, Naters can marry her, then we can be related. That would be excellent. Of course, Curt has already betrothed Nathan to a female Pickup or Johnson, but it's always good to have options :).
