It's been raining for almost a week now.

I really thought that during my six week break, I would spend a ton of time on LJ. Sadly, this is not what happened. I don't even know what I did with the last six weeks. It feels like I was just panicking about finding out where I would be student teaching...now, I'm starting student teaching in just two days

Aw, so exciting!! Glad things seem to be going well with your student teaching placement! It'll be an adventure, with its grand ups and downs, but definitely a worthwhile experience. So excited for you! :)

And yay babies!! Best of luck in your decisions. :)

I'm excited too! Even though the school isn't "the best" I'm actually happy about that. I feel like getting my experience at a school that is considered to be a "bad" school--I'm gaining more than what some will gain at the "good" schools.

BABIES!

Not everyone who has a baby gets a horror body afterwards. Just depends what kind of shape you're in and how well you look after your body before, during and after pregnancy. When my SIL was pregnant with my nephew she was still fitting in to her size 4-6 jeans at 8 months! And after giving birth you couldn't even tell that she had been pregnant.

WHOA. That's crazy! I don't think I'll be the woman who blows up or anything. I already try to maintain a good body and eat (fairly) healthy, so I don't think it'll be TOO hard to do that during/after pregnancy. Also, I don't eat massive amounts of food because I have all kinds of digestive problems. So yeh, here's to hoping I look great, can stay healthy, and have a healthy little baby!

Worrying is natural. I won't tell you stop because that would be pretty useless right? But just try to relax a bit. Every woman's body is different and I think it's safe to say that Jeremy loves your body no matter what right?

Right. But it's still scary that he's known me since we were 16. He's seen how small I am...and I'm just scared that he'll see me get bigger and be like A;DKFJ;ADKFJ BYE BITCH.

(He tells me all the time to shut up when I say this, but I'm a worrier.)

Logically, I know these things. I know tons of people who've had babies and look fabulous after. I just made the mistake of googling images of post partum bellies and I was NOT excited about what I saw. I'm just ridiculous, really. My mom told me that I was being over the top since I'm already in good shape and eat fairly well, I really shouldn't have big problems.

I'm a worrier, ugh.

and yeh, I hope they can just be happy for me and be excited that their son is married to a woman that actually has ambitions and wants a career. He could be married to someone like their daughter who quit school to work at a store at the mall...part time...with no thought about what she wants to do after that job grows old and the nights/weekends are fun to work anymore.

I love your leg warmers. I keep on seeing them as boot socks all over pinterest and they look so adorable. I don't have the patience to knit my own so I've been hunting for some on etsy.

Teaching in a predominantly black school makes me think of the movie Dangerous Minds. I always assume people want to be teachers to make a difference and where else could you make a bigger difference then at that kind of school.

The post-pregnancy body is one of the reasons why I don't think I will ever have children. It's shallow, but that's how I feel. It also angers me a little that women have to do all the suffering to have babies and guys have the audacity to just how women look post-pregnancy.

Just remember to slather your body with cocoa butter so you don't get stretch marks, and to eat really healthy. Also, you should ask your mom about her body post-pregnancy because yours will likely be the same.

I wish I could wear them with jeans, but it's just too tight to try to fit my jeans and the legwarmers into my boots, hah. I'll have to wait til it gets slightly warmer so i can wear them with tights and a skirt!

RIGHT?? That's the way I think of it. Only...these kids aren't like, thugs or anything, hahah. I mean, yeh, where the school is located, it has a terribly high poverty rate--but they aren't inner city kids.

I mean, it sucks the man doesn't have to go through anything, but I guess I just figure it's the way it is, and I want to have kids soooo, there isn't much other choice.

I plan to use cocoa butter, even though it doesn't always work, and I definitely don't plan to be unhealthy while pregnant. And asking my mom wouldn't really make a difference. My mom is a large woman, she always has been--I 100% take after my dad. The only thing I get from my mom is my hair color.
