Baby is the size of an: apple
Maternity clothes: Not yet. I did notice another pair of dress pants that was more snug but still zip-able. I bought another top this weekend that is cute :) While in Raleigh I checked out some more maternity clothes but sorry folks, I'm not willing to spend $50 on a shirt that I will only wear for a few months.
Food cravings: Kit Kat bars. Mmmmmmm :) The hubs said he almost bought be one of those giant bags for Halloween that they sell at the store, but didn't since I'm trying to eat healthy. Boo! It is like Justin read this blog post before I even published it- I walked in the door today from work and low and behold there was a giant bowl filled with kit kats :)
Anything make you queasy or sick:Still the smells. Exhaust really got me on my drive to school last week. Let's just say that I finally used that bucket that I've been keeping in my car and my vomit count is now up to 9 :( And.... my bathroom makes me queasy. I know it is all association and psychological but it still gets me.
Miss anything: Turkey sandwiches.
Have you started to show yet: I have a bump. To people who know me and know I'm pregnant, it is kinda noticeable to them, but to strangers, it probably doesn't look like anything is there.
Movement: Nope.
Birthing Classes: We are signed up to take the Bradley Method and start November 11th! The next 10 Sunday afternoons will be filled with lots of fun ;)
Best moment this week: Going to Raleigh and visiting all of our favorite places from our first hometown together with Justin. And.... I told my students! They were so cute :) I gave each student a baby bottle pop that said, "Mrs. Powlison is having a baby!" When I told them at first there was a bunch of gasps and mouths wide open. I wasn't sure if they quite understood it. But then, they started clapping and cheering. When they were all leaving school they all came up to me and gave me (or should I say the baby) a hug. They said, "I want to hug the baby." Some kids came up and were touching my stomach and were putting their ears up to it and saying they could hear it. Sorry kiddos- I doubt that. I took some photos but I am not allowed to post them, which is a bummer because I feel like it captures their genuine excitement and happiness.
Best kid comment about the baby this week: I was talking with my students about how the baby is in my belly and my belly will be getting really big and fat soon. They asked why it wasn't big yet and I said it was because the baby was still small and was only the size of an apple. One of my students responded and said, "It's a chicken?!?" Noooo... it's not a chicken, it's a baby :)
How have I been feeling: I have been feeling great! I had some headaches earlier in the week, but no more back aches and feeling good!
Looking forward to: The hot air balloon festival this weekend and feeling the baby move :)
Since the baby is the size of an apple, here are some pictures from when we went apple picking a couple weekends ago!

I made him take the apple away since I wasn't sure if I would post these pictures before I made the news public.
