Just days before I took pregnancy test number one I was explaining to my therapist that I wasn’t going to get pregnant easily. I was convinced of that for two reasons. One, because I’m an Aries, the least fertile sign in the zodiac, and two, because it took my mother seven years to get pregnant. Obviously I was wrong.
This embryo has taken over my body. I’m exhausted and nauseous all of the time. I was pleased that I was just queasy and not puking until yesterday, at the walk through of our new house, when I found myself doubled over in the backyard. Several hours later, on my way to use the bathroom (as I now have to pee at least 47 times a day), I randomly puked in the sink. Pretty sweet, huh.

A “pregnant” teacher, who thought she wouldn’t get pregnant because of her Zodiac sign and her “incapacitating mother” lol! … Sweetie, it will get better., I promise. It’s time for a new “Belief System”, huh!
As a teacher, you know knowledge is power. They’re wonderful books on pregnancy. I hope your mother will encourage you and help you embrace your experience.

As a “teacher,” I feel that I should “mention” that you “may” be going a little “overboard” on the parenthesis.

This little comment dialogue just cracked me up. I mean “cracked me up.” Or (cracked me up). Okay, now there’s too many teachers on here. Hope your pukies are over when school starts!
