I think they should redesign how they try to teach kids to not have sex in middle school. I think they should tell them how much pregnancy can suck, and then they should tell them that six months after your little bundle arrives, they begin teething, and it is the hardest thing you'll ever have to deal with. (I'm actually quite positive there will be harder things in my life, but today teething seems to top the list.)
What they shouldn't tell those 14 year olds is that even after dealing with a fussy baby all day, and then having her wake up screaming during the night because her teeth hurt so bad. And then having her only take short naps during the day, and want to be held the rest of the time... you still can't believe how much you love them. And just want them to feel better. Not so your own life is easier (or so you start getting some decent sleep again) but so that this sweet little girl who doesn't understand why her mouth hurts so bad can go back to being our little happy-go-lucky girl.
No, I guess I'm wrong. Because even though I did not enjoy being pregnant, and we're having a rough week with these teeth, I still wouldn't trade one second of it. Teething may wear me out, but just one little smile or one snuggle into my neck makes it all worth it.
I guess those health teachers better stick to what they're supposed to be teaching. :)

they should probably just tell those 14 year olds that if they have a baby it will cry through Hannah Montana.
