Before we knew the gender of our baby we would ask our daughter, "What is the baby's name?" She would answer, "Baby in Mommy's tummy."
In February 2011 I announced to my students that I was pregnant. I was a computer teacher for grades K-8 at a charter school. A friend suggested I either write a book or start a blog about the reactions and comments of my students in relation to my pregnancy. I thought it was a good idea. Now I am a kindergarten teacher at a school in a school district. In January 2014 I announced that I was pregnant. I will post something once a week.

Eat Lots of Food
Some students in another class found out that I was pregnant.
Boy Student 1: You have a baby in your tummy?
Me: Yes I do.
Boy Student 1: How did it get there?
Boy Student 2: That's easy.
Really? I couldn't wait to hear how easy it is to get pregnant.
Boy Student 2: All you have to do is eat a lot of food.
Boy Student 1: You have a baby in your tummy?
Me: Yes I do.
Boy Student 1: How did it get there?
Boy Student 2: That's easy.

I Can't Get Pregnant
One day my feet were tired from standing and walking around so much so I brought a chair outside with me to sit on during my after school bus duty. One of the kindergarten boys said, "That's not fair. You get a chair." I said, "When you have a baby in your tummy you can sit in a chair." Then he said, "Hey, I can't get pregnant!" I said, "Oh, well." I am glad he knows enough to know that he'll never get pregnant.

Doctor Appointments
I often tell my students when I am going to the doctor because I either won't be in class or have to leave early. The next day someone always asks, "Did the doctor take your baby out?" I tell them not yet, he just checked to make sure the baby was still okay.
