Gotta Stay Positive

I don't want to complain at all because I truly am loving every moment of pregnancy, but today while I was teaching I got extremely intense cramps. I had to leave my classroom for a minute to try the bathroom cure. That did not work, so I propped my feet up on a chair, which also did not work. Before I knew it I was close to tears and in incredible pain. I didn't know what to do, so I simply got down on the floor in my classroom's book nook and laid on a pillow, tucked my knees to my chest, and tried to breath through it. I had my kids working on a project in groups, so at first none of them noticed, but being the sweeties they are as soon as one noticed they were all worried about me - even offering to go get the nurse. I assured them I just had a bad stomach ache and was just lying down as I would have one of them do in the same situation. They seemed ok with this and proceeded to be the best class they have ever been and just worked quietly in their groups for 30 straight minutes! I was so proud and thankful of them. I am so glad school is almost over as I am not sure what I would do if this were the beginning of the year... episodes like that in the classroom are not what I want to be a part of.
