O.K. - I'm nine months pregnant and I went with my class yesterday on a field trip to a corn maze. I was a little nervous about riding the bumpy bus so I chose to follow the bus in my car - wise choice I think. It was a gorgeous morning when we arrived at the farm and my students were super excited about finding their way through the maze. I, myself was a little skeptical about the entire situation. I mean, an almost due pregnant lady trapsing through a jungle of corn, feeling trapped and helpless if something were to happen and I'm with a bunch of 4th graders who would probably panic more than I would. Anyways, as the time approached for us to enter the corn field I was determined to make it through. I also thought that if it did put me into labor that wasn't such a bad thing (I'm very ready to have this kid). So, in I went with three 4th grade girls and my student teacher to keep me company. I have to say I don't regret my decision to join them. I mean, the terraine was bumpy and wet but my sweet 4th grade girls kept running ahead and letting us know which ways were dead ends so I was able to cut through that corn maze in no time and make it out in about 1/2 hour, without any falls, contractions or water breakage. I had prayed earlier that morning that I would be able to enjoy this time with my class before I leave them for 6 weeks. I have to say I felt great throughout the entire field trip and was able to have so much fun with my kids. It was a good day!!
We are on our way in - YIKES!!
Trapped in the corn but "oh, what a beautiful morning"
YES!! We made it out!
They think they are so funny!! I think I win!
