Kids Say the Darndest Things

So.. if you are in for a good story and laugh, please keep reading this post.  I have a student in one of my classes that has quite the stories.  Today during class we were talking about traits and how traits help an organism survive in a given environment.  This lead to this student telling me a wonderful "true" story about his dad.  I was told that the student's Dad is a professional diver for the marines.  One time his dad was dying and he ran into a Megalodon Shark.  (Refer to picture below if not familiar with organism).

Now, those of you who don't know this shark, it has been extinct for a few million years now and it is quite massive compared to other sharks alive today.  I wanted to make sure the kid wasn't sure so I asked him, are you sure it was Megalodon or another shark?  He ensured me with much enthusiasm that it was indeed Megaladon.  Anyway, his dad got a picture with said shark of him standing on top of it with the shark's mouth wide open. I told him he would have to bring me the picture sometime....  By the way, this was after the student told me a few days ago that his dad was also the head security guard for Marilyn Monroe.  I have to meet this guy!   Anyway, I hope this little story brings a few laughs because it certainly made me chuckle.

I'm Having a BABY!

Well,  I thought  I would get on the blog and post the exciting news that I am pregnant!!!  I am really excited, anxious, nervous, and pretty much every other emotion you can feel.  I always thought Braedon and I would wait a little longer to have our first baby, but that plan is out the window now.  We are both so excited though.

Our little baby will be coming into the world July 13 if the baby really does come on the due date.  We find out in about a month what we will be having.  I think it is a girl...we shall see!  And here is a list of interesting/not so fun things about being pregnant.

1.  I am nauseous all of the time.  They lie when they call it morning sickness.  More like all day sickness.

2.  I crave lemons...with salt...weird...

3.  Braedon has a habit of bouncing his legs the beat of any music he hears (probably because he is a drummer).  He also shakes his leg at church...he basically can't sit still and before I never really cared.  Now that I am pregnant I can't stand holding his hand when he does that because it makes me so nauseous...he finds it amusing.  I guess it kind of is.

4.  The junior high girls I teach ask to touch my belly... awkward...... Then I just stand there awkwardly because it throws me off every time one of the girls ask.  And I am not even showing that much yet.

5.  I am super forgetful.  And for those that know me well, you already know this was not one of my strong points before I was pregnant.  I didn't think I could get worse, but I was wrong.

Well, wish me luck with the rest of my pregnancy!  I am at 15 weeks, so it's going pretty fast! Wahooo :)
