Another preggo teacher

[Guest guest]

Trisha and Diane,

We are all in the same education boat. Iam just getting into the PG

boat with you two too. I took a HPT this AM and I am pretty sure it

is positive. I will be due May 17th.

This past Monday was my first day with students. I found out 2

weeks ago yesterday that I would have a change in position from

acting as a sign language interpreter for Mainstreamed students, to

teaching K-1 Deaf and Hard of Hearing kids. It was NOT my first

choice, but I have to work one more year if I want to be a SAHM when

I have this baby. I even concidered quitting and trying to

freelance interpret, but I do not have credentials for that. (Note

to self, get that ASAP!!) SO, I had Monday-Friday of last week,

with 3 days of meetings, to get my class together. The toughest

part was that the K-1 class was across the hall last year so most of

my time was used to put " stuff " away in closets. I still feel SO

disorganized! I have not taught since my son was born so everything

has changed in the past 4 years, where curriculum is concerned. I

have spent so much time just trying to get to know the new series

that I feel like a zombie when I get into actually teach it. NOW I

know why I am EXTRA tired lately.

Trish, I would be SO excited to have a break so early in the year.

Diane, I would also be looking forward to getting one in Jan if I

could. Do you think you will go back after winter break or just

start your maternity leave at that time? I have to wait the entire

9 months to pass =S That's okay since I will hopefully be able to

quit working 30 school days before the school year ends so I will be

able to use all my saved sick days. My OB was flexable with that

last time and gave me a note about a month before I was due. I plan

to not go back to work, full time at least, until the youngest is in

kindergarten.

Hope you both continue to do well. Trish, I will pray for you to

have an easy labor and delivery!

Jeanette I am so happy to be getting a break so early in the year - I

just do not want to go back. If I could have planned this I would

have had my due date in the end of April - beginning of May so I

wouldn't have to be there at the end of the yearand would then have

the summer 6 weeks off. We go till the end of June. I work at an

inner city school so it is especially rough in the spring. Things

happen for a reason though so this is meant to be this way for some

reason. Good Luck getting started with your new class and keep us

updated on your progress. - Diane

Diane,

I hope this comes after you have had your little one. Sorry it has

taken me so long to reply. I just can't seem to find the time to

get on here regularly.

I have not had my OB appointment yet, but according to the web sites

I should be due in the middle of May. We go until June 10th which

means if I don't take any sick days this year I should be able to

stop working at the end of April and get paid until the end of the

year. This is an especially difficult year for me, adjusting back

to teaching, so I am looking forward to that SO much!

Hope things go well for you!

Unfortunately I am still here awaiting the arrival of my little girl.

The doctor wrote me a letter saying that it was in the best intrest

of my pregnancy to be on rest until I deliver. I had my last day at

work last Wednesday. That is making me so happy in itself. I feel

impatient now wanting to hold my baby and today she isn't moving much

at all so I feel a little worried. Her pattern has been though a

couple of days of a lot of activity and a couple of days of rest and

the doctor said as long as I feel 15 movements in one day not to be

worried. I have only felt 7 so far and it is still early but this

time it makes me feel uneasy for some reason. I think it is because I

am so close and now think about having a stillborn. If there is

something to worry about I guess a pregnant mother will worry. Good

luck with your school year and your pregnancy - I hope all goes

smoothly. - Diane
