Walking Birth Control

Some of the great things about being pregnant while teaching:

1. You get to gross your kids out with facts about the baby’s development (Yesterday they asked if the baby pees while it is in the womb!)

2. Even though you have a belly showing, some of them are still unaware of the fact you are pregnant and are shocked when they find out (three months after the rest of the school knew!).

3. Students totally understand about the fact you can’t remember half of the stuff you are supposed, can’t find anything, misspeak constantly, and even refer to it when it happens as ‘baby brain’.

4. When every little scent was making you nauseous, and when they ask you questions about development and get gross answers (see #1), they tell you that you are their walking birth control. Hopefully it sticks for a while!
