Through pregnancy and beyond
My husband took our 10-month old to visit friends today while I caught up on some work. He was gone for a few hours when I decided I’d had enough of sitting inside so I called to see if I should join him. First, he didn’t answer and I realized they were probably sitting around the pool, drinking beer and playing with the kids. Not listening for the phone.
Finally, I called the house and got hold of him. I asked if I should join and the response I expected (yes, come on down) was not exactly what I got. Instead, I got, “It’s an hour away.”
I started crying.
1. “I knew it, you look bigger”/ “I could tell” “Thank God, I thought you were getting fat” (or any variation).
My friend said this to me and the last time I had seen her, I wasn’t pregnant. If someone should ask you to guess their news, never guess this; even if you know she’s trying, it would be very painful for her if you’re wrong.
2. “Wow, do you think that’s a good idea?”

How cute is this bookcase? It’s handmade and stackable, so you can buy as many as you need and stack them all. The wood is natural but they will paint it for you before shipping out. It’s so reasonable too: $22.00 for each shelf.

I told my boss and coworkers today. My boss wasn’t very surprised – I work for a company that works hard and plays hard, so when I wasn’t drinking, it was kind of a red flag. I tried to pass it off as Lent, but that was not convincing apparently.
My coworkers were so supportive. They were surprised and excited; it was great! They started talking about baby showers and having a name suggestion box, which would be hysterical I’m sure.
I’m so relieved that that’s over!
