So, the preggo wasn't at the meeting yesterday. Her husband was. He had to leave in the middle of the meeting. He introduced himself and announced that his wife wasn't there because she was due at any moment. Thirty seconds later his phone rang. He had to leave. She was in labor.
Just now I got to hear a SCREAMED conversation in front of my door trying to decide if the baby had been born, yet, or not. (I think the final conclusion was that he was.)
Good times!
It really is funny. If it weren't for IF I'd think it was cute! I'm retraining my thinking. Isn't this the sweetest story that they'll be able to tell?
I'm going to remind myself WHY I'm not jealous of her:
She will barely be able to take any time off and then will have to go back to work
She has a teenage son that she had as a teenager and now a toddler and an infant
OK, that's all I've got.
I'm going to throw myself into my work, now.
Let's see, what else can we come up with? Well, for one thing, her baby's a Virgo. My brother is as well, and my parents have told us the story many times of when they were pregnant with him (circa 1975), and they were in the elevator of their then-apartment building with an acquaintance who also lived there. She asked when they were due, and when they told her, her reply was: "Bad Virgo, baaad Virgo." Wackadoo!

ReplyDeleteWhat a friggin' nightmare. Ugh, Rebecca I'm just so sorry. So so sorry :( I agree w/Caryn - you need a big, tall alcoholic beverage today.
ReplyDeleteUGH. Treat yourself today! I hope you're not surrounded by this baby talk too much ...
ReplyDeleteI guess it's funny in a 'makes me want to bang my head against a wall' kind of way.... I'm jumping on the booze bandwagon for you!
ReplyDeleteUgh - do you mind if I call both of them bitches?
ReplyDeleteI have never been so proud of my hubs as when he came home and told me that some guy that he works with told him that his wife was told she might have trouble getting pregnant, and the two times they tried, it worked on the first time - they have 2 kids. My husband called him a jerk - to his face. I'm so proud!!!
I'm impressed you're not being jealous - obviously I'm not this strong. Hugs to you!
uggghhh...but, good for you for trying to retrain your thinking! something i'm trying to do, too :)
ReplyDeletehappy iclw!
