I went up to the school to make sure my yearbook kids had cameras and were prepared to cover freshman orientation. I hung out mostly in the library with E because my room didn't have any a/c yet, and the library was nice and cool.
While there, another teacher confided in me that she is pregnant while her 16mo old daughter and E played together. She hasn't told admin yet. They really have issues with teachers getting pregnant because it happened so many times and all they see is dollar signs and sub pay. But this teacher's first baby was kind of a miracle baby, and they adopted a lovely little girl right after (they found out they were approved to foster the day before they found out they were pregnant the first time). It's all so wonderful and they wanted a big family and it looks like they are going to get what they want! But I'm sad for her professionally because the admin men are going to probably be jerks about it.
I actually had the thought that she was pregnant as she walked past me and got a Jolly Rancher from her bag. I remembered when I had m/s so bad that Ranchers were the only thing that kept me from barfing while I was cooking dinner, and thought to myself that I rarely see anyone go for those as an everyday candy, and that maybe she was pregnant. Then she she showed me her bfp picture. I felt so super-sleuthy!
Now we're home and E is getting in another nap. Bless her heart, it was so hot up there and the car was so hot when we left. She passed right out that time. Hopefully she'll sleep well tonight!
