My Bump
Students always ask me "How's your baby?" or "How is Hannah?" But one day I got a different question. . .
On Fridays we can where jeans to school. One day I wore jeans and a Tee-shirt that said, "I love my bump. I love my bump." Many of the students didn't know what it meant, when they asked, I said, "I love my bump," and then I rubbed my belly. The student would then say, "Ohhh." Some of the older students thought it was funny.
A few weeks later, I went to a second grade classroom to give something to one of the students. A student came up to me and asked, "How's your bump?"

A first grader walked past me and noticed my belly had grown and asked me, "Your baby is growing up?"
I smiled and said, "Yes."

Baby Due Date Countdown
5-17-11
I have a school blog. I post assignments for the students and links to websites that we will be visiting during class. A friend showed me a countdown and I thought it would be great to put a count down to my due date on the blog. So many students ask me if I have had my baby yet that I thought that if they saw a reminder of how many days are left it would help them understand how long a pregnancy can be.
When one of the 7th grade classes saw the countdown for the first time one of the boys was a little confused.
7th Grader: Why does it say due date? Why doesn't it say the baby will be born?
Me: Not all babies are born on their due date. I don't know if that is the day the baby will actually be born.
7th Grader: But why doesn't it say when the baby will be born? Why does it say due date?
Me: No one really knows when a baby will be born, a due date is just a guess as to when the baby will be born.
7th Grader: Why didn't you put when the baby will be born?
Me: The doctor doesn't know exactly when the baby will be born. The due date is just a guess. I don't know when the baby will be born.
He still wasn't satisfied but I had to move onto our lesson for the day. I did not know any other way to explain it to him.

Why are you working?
5-16-11
When I was 25 weeks along and we had just a few weeks left of school until summer break a 4th grade girl and I had the following conversation.
4th Grader: Mrs. Gardner, why are you working? You're pregnant. You shouldn't be working.
Me: I have to work, I have bills to pay.
4th Grader: What about your husband?
Me: He works to help pay for bills too.
