Breastfeeding

I don't mean to be critical of anyone who doesn't breastfeed but I stumbled upon this really interesting information on the internet.  I found the benefits of breastfeeding listed on this page very interesting, especially #4.  That one is awesome, my favorite!  Well, okay, it is not my absolutely favorite fact about breastfeeding.  It is my favorite benefits of breastfeeding for the mother!

I completely understand there are a lot of reasons why women don't breastfeed.  I am supportive of either decision.  I was so blessed to be able to breastfeed my daughter.  I pray the circumstances will be the same for my next child, that is my wish for me and my future children. I understand not everyone has the same opinions as me.  I just wanted to share this really interesting fact.  Be sure to click the link to find out what the awesome fact is.  Maybe you already knew it.  I didn't.

I know this post doesn't fall exactly into the theme of the blog but it is kind of about pregnancy. . .

Quotes!

I found comment some children said to a teacher!  They are cute.  Enjoy.

Pregnancy and children

So this quote by kids is not one about teachers but it is worth sharing.

Share your stories

I would really appreciate teachers sharing their stories about children and the comments they have made about pregnancies.  Parents could also share stories abut their children and the comments they have made about their teacher's pregnancy.

More student quotes

When the blessed day comes when our family will have the opportunity of adding another member of our family, I will be sure to add more quotes from comments children make to me in regards to my pregnancy. In the meantime, I will scope the internet for more information to share.

It's a sad world we live in

As I searched the internet for more student quotes about pregnant teachers, I realized what a sad world we live in.  Do a google search for teacher pregnancy stories and you find links to stories of teachers becoming pregnant due to an improper relationship with a student.  There aren't many stories about young students saying things about their pregnant teachers (who were in an appropriate relationship with a spouse).

A good time to get pregnant

As I searched the internet for more quotes about teachers being pregnant I found a thread, "When should a teacher get pregnant?" 

Really?  Like they can plan that.  Who can plan that?  For most people, pregnancy is not something you can just say, "Oh, I'm going to get pregnant in September." For most people it is not that easy, so to expect a teacher to be able to do that is totally unreasonable.
