I'm an elementary music teacher, pre-K-8. I don't love it; I wish I were teaching high school, but it works for now. I teach regular ed three days a week and special ed two days a week. I travel to four different campuses. The plight of a music teacher these days unfortunately. I would give my left arm to be a SAHM after the baby is born (I would kick so much ass at running a household) but sadly I am the main breadwinner for now so this won't be happening. oh well. Happy to have work.

Im a Customer Service Rep for a Home Warranty and Inspection Company. It pays the bills, I want to go back to school though, because its for the birds.
besides yoga teacher, i also was a mental health counselor for a tiny bit after i got my masters, a director of a studio, and social media manager for a restaurant chain.
I have my Masters in Occupational Therapy, but I had my DS 3 months after graduation, so I haven't actually worked as an OT yet. So for now I'm a SAHM, I flip flop as to whether or not I will enter the workforce or return to school for my PhD after this baby comes.
@Phwudoc - My DH is doing his Family Medicine residency right now. He's hoping to practice rural once he's done.
@akrich22 - I grew up on a Dairy farm! My parents and 2 of my 3 sisters still farm. Farmers unite! Haha

I'm mainly a SAHM, but I also coach gymnastics a few days a week in the evenings. I love it! It's at the same gym I went to as a gymnast and I've been coaching there for almost 10 years now.
I also paint and draw, and sell my artwork. My current series I'm working on is called "feeding baby" and they all depict actual mothers and other caregivers feeding their children either from a bottle or the breast or one of those feeding systems you attach to your chest.
@cmcc5 gymnastics coach here too. I really wouldn't worry too much about spotting the kids. You are able to keep up any activity you were doing prior to getting pregnant without issue (unless there's an additional risk factor).
I'm a Certified Massage Therapist and work in 5 different spas. I'm also a medium but don't charge for readings, that's just my "good for my soul" pass time.
Re: GTKY - What do you do for a living?

It makes me happy to see all the grad students on here--I was in grad school when my first kiddo came, and the timing was pretty perfect.
