About a month ago I started to notice that some of my clothes revealed a little more pregnancy than others. I started to get stressed about what I should be wearing to work and when I should tell my students that I was pregnant. I really wanted to wait as long as possible as I only just started teaching them at the end of September and I wanted them to get to know me a little better first. (The other faculty and staff all knew so I didn't have to worry about that.) I ultimately decided that it might just be easier to not worry about what I was wearing and just be honest when they noticed I was pregnant. I figured it would be easier to say "yes" when someone asked then to stand in front of the room and make a presentation out of it (hopefully as far removed from the day we discussed human reproduction as possible). In the past 2 weeks Matt & I have been evaluating my clothes in the morning to determine if today would be the day that someone would ask. I was just starting to get nervous that my plan was not so good - that eventually we would reach a point of ridiculousness where every study was wondering why I looked pregnant, but had not said anything. Finally today, two brave students came up to me at the end of they day and asked. Despite the fact that they might have been pretty sure in order to ask me, they seemed incredibly excited and surprised when I did say "yes," both shrieking and giving me hugs. Now let's see how fast the rumor can spread. Will my entire homeroom know by Monday or just half?
