Today was the day. Earlier this week, anyone would have agreed that I wasn't really showing. Today I got out of the shower and looked at myself in the mirror and said yup, there certianly is a baby in there! Since it was Valentines Day, I wore my new red maternity shirt, put in my red heart earrings, and (since I had been up practically all night the night before) put my hair back in a pony tail and threw some makeup on. I should have felt and looked awful, but instead I got just a ton of compliments about how cute I looked. And most people didn't say it, but I could see the next part of the sentence -- and how pregnant I looked -- on their faces. I walked into my friend C.'s office, and watched his eyes jump from mine to my belly and then back again to my eyes. Too funny. I went upstairs to personnel and the benefits director -- whom I had not told directly, although I had told her underling -- took one look at me and said "I had no idea, when are you due?" One of the other ladies in personnel gave her a hard time by admonishing her (jokingly) that I wasn't pregnant and how presumptuous of her, but she didn't really believe it. Nor should she. The belly shape is unmistakable.
I should have looked and felt awful, but I felt great. I am just so happy to be pregnant!
Oh happy days! When are you going to post a picture to let your Momma see!!!! Love you! M
