The First Baby Gift

Everything has been a little crazy since announcing to everyone that we're going to have a baby! I have been overwhelmed with the thoughfulness that has been shown. For some reason I was most worried about my students' reactions. I told them by playing Hangman and the phrase was...Mrs. Watts is going to have a baby. It was so hard not to bust out laughing during the game. We had to spell out the ENTIRE phrase before the light bulb went on in their heads. I saw it click on most of their faces and their reactions were sooo sweet. They are sooo excited.
This is one of the cards I received that was so thoughful.

Sterling gave me this card and it was so sweet. Love that kid!

This morning my sweet Zakaya came in with this gift in a bag. I asked her what the gift was for and she it's because I'm having a baby. I opened it up and found the most thoughtful gifts for Baby Dub. I have been sooo tempted to buy a few things here and there, but I'm afraid once I start I won't stop! So I'm forcing myself to wait until we know pink or blue. This gift was so thoughtful because it will work for boy or girl. It's also special because it's the first gift for the baby. Hopefully if we have a girl she will be as sweet and thoughtful as Zakaya:).

And a funny story...during all the craziness of the announcement, Reece raised his hand and asked what we would name the baby. I told him the names for a boy and a girl. He looked at me very seriously and said, "Hmph, well I hope it's a boy then!" He doesn't like our girl name:)! LOL
