When I told my husband, after being married about 6 months, that I was ready to have a kid, he was ecstatic! I still don’t understand how it happened, because if you had asked me the week earlier, I would have told you I will have kids in a few years. But one day it hit me and about 5 months later, we were pregnant.
At the time, I was still working as a high school math teacher in south Los Angeles. I had no intentions of leaving my job. I loved my work! I loved my students, my coworkers, and the type of teaching I was doing.
I also loved being pregnant.
