It's you!
"It's you! I just know it! You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!"
No, it's not me. I'm not pregnant.
"But is HAS to be you. Who else could it be? You just don't want to tell because it is too early"
No, really. It's not me. I promise. I haven't cheated on my husband.
"Well, who else could it be?"
Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.

I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school. I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me. I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out. Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years. She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense. I'll let you know if I'm right or not when she announces.
I just hate that everyone guesses that it's me. I hate when people ask me about kids. I've started to tell people that B and I are not going to have children, just so they'll leave me alone. I just hope I don't hear, "see strange things can happen" if I ever really DO get pregnant. It's a hard line to balance.

Urgh. I feel like that at work too. I guess because of my age and the fact that DH&I have been together so long, people are just waiting, and asking. It's like I can't be tired or have a stomach bug, without someone asking..do you have something to share????? Nope, not me!
ReplyDeleteI hate all those questions. It's actually one of the reasons I told a few teachers at my school about my RPL. Although I asked them to keep it private, enough know that something is going on with me that they've stopped asking. Thank God.
ReplyDeleteI think it's worse in the teaching profession. I'm not sure why.
Ugh, I'm so sorry. Those questions are so insensitive.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being in your healthy weight range!
Wow Emmy that is sort of harsh though obviously she couldn't have known what you guys are going through.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of my student who suggested that a better new years resolution for me than to clean my house was to have a baby. LOL.
Oh G-D. I am so sorry. That is horrible.
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers "It's you!" very, very soon!
