The Honeydew

Yesterday my fifth grade students nicknamed my bump "The Honeydew."  It came about through a conversation, first about the current size of the baby, which is approximately two pounds, and then in attempts to compare something concrete to this size.  They first generated "Canteloupe" but realized this wasn't a sufficient baby nickname.  Then they came up with "The Honeydew" (after the melon) and it sounded perfect.  Therefore, until we settle on a name, the baby bump will now be referred to as "The Honeydew."  I am really enjoying my student interest and involvement in this pregnancy.  The girls are especially cute about it and have several names to offer.
