Any idea how to deal with the emotion?!

Besides finding out we're pregnant, we got other big news a few weeks ago...my husband is active duty AF and we got orders to Germany! They're short-notice so we'll be there in February.

I'm a teacher and will be telling my students (grades 8-11) today of the news. I work at a school on base and the poor kids have had many new teachers since the beginning of the year (the turnover rate here is ridiculous). I adore my students and my heart is breaking! I was just alphabetizing their exams and starting bawling.

How do I control this when I tell them?! I don't want to cry in front of them but this poppy-seed sized being inside of me is making the waterworks start.

Unfortunately I don't have any advice on how to control the emotions but I do feel your pain! My husband is also in the AF. Good luck telling your students and be safe with your move. Germany is absolutely incredible!

This! I'm always a sap and I've learned to just accept it and go for it. I had to announce someone losing their job and work and I teared up. I'm a baby! Whatevs.

This!  Emotion is okay, and encouraged, in my book.  Showing people you're moved by them is the best way to touch their hearts.  Tell them you love them and enjoy the rest of your time with them!
