Nicest Pregnant Person

It is good to be back at school and in a routine again. I love my job and the students; if I didn't, it would quite tough to go in each and every day. The kids have been great these first 2 days back (which I was a little scared of after having a winter break!). I have had fun with them, like I always try to, and I am trying to ease them back into the groove of thinking and analyzing everything around them. I told them about feeling the baby move, and they were excited with me. They all want to know what the baby is, and I know that I will be bombarded as soon as I find out! 

In my last class today, I had a student say out loud to the entire class that I was the nicest pregnant person she has ever met. She claimed to have been around many pregnant people and she has had several pregnant teachers, and she said that I am by far the nicest. I reminded her that I am only about 4 1/2 months into this, and she might not be saying that the last week of school. She thought about it, and then continued with, "No, I bet you will still be nice and cool." She really made me laugh, yet at the same time feel really great about myself. Being pregnant has been a blessing and has been amazing so far, and I am glad to see that my students see me as the same laid back, transparent, and welcoming teacher I was before. We all know how pregnancy can change a person!! Oh the things students will say!
