Timing is Everything

For months I stressed about planning my pregnancy around work.

Well, my co-worker and I run our department ourselves so I've been concerned about telling her my news since it could affect our big annual auction that happens every March.

She pulled me into an empty office last Thursday and told me SHE'S pregnant!!!!!!! I couldn't contain myself and so my face must've given it away and she said, "You're pregnant too?!" I said, "Yeah!" She said, "When are you due?" I said, "Jan. 11th, how about you?" She said, "Feb. 14th!" We just could not stop cracking up!!! It's just the craziest, funniest, thing! We decided to tell our boss, the school director, together.

As I expected/hoped, she was SO happy and excited for us that she screamed, "You're both pregnant!" Then everyone in the office came in. It was so funny. We all laughed about how the baby room will be crowded and my director had the idea that we could empty out one of our offices temporarily and have 2 cribs in there! How cool is that!

What a relief! I'm so glad this is over with and that we were able to tell her at the same time.

Silly Me

Haha.... I feel dumb

I work in a school office and every single day someone in here is running to get coffee or lunch or something and whenever they ask me if I want anything, I decline. I do because I'm overly thrifty and I bring lunch and waters everyday.

Well, this morning, the office manager called and said she was going to Starbucks because she had lots of giftcards from parents and she asked if I wanted something. So I said, "Sure, a small iced passion tea."

She just brought it in and said, "I think it was like $2, whenever you have it, you don't have to give it to me now." I only have 2 sad dollars in my wallet right now!

I totally thought this was a freebie since she was using her supply of giftcards!

BIG News!

Jay and I are expecting!

You heard right, Jay and I are looking forward to meeting our own little one in January, 2009.

I'm only now posting because we've been telling friends and family little by little and didn't want anyone super close to read this here first!

So far so good. I haven't thrown up but get nauseous if I let myself get hungry. We had one ultrasound and saw the heartbeat -- that really made it real. The doctor says all is well as well.

I'll keep you posted!
