I don't know how to tell work I'm pregnant. I'm in academia, and the semester just started up. I want to blurt it out to all my students, but I haven't seen my chair yet, and I should probably tell her first. I somehow found a shirt that hides the bump well this morning, but I don't know how long I can keep it up. Would it be weird to just email her?
I think email is fine too. I'm sure her first questions will be about leave, so either state your plans now or say that your will decide soon and you will work with her for coverage, etc.
I absolutely 100% think you need to tell your boss before anyone else.

This took me forever to realize "chair" meant chair of your department. I was like, why does she need to see her chair? Will a certain kind help her hide her belly? Lol. So dumb.
Anywayyyy, I like to schedule in person meetings, but everyone in my company is in one building and we are always in each others' offices. I would say if you normally communicate by email then that's fine too.

We are generally a pop in -- is this a good time kind of department... asking for an in-person meeting would be super weird/formal. She would think that I was leaving for another job or something.

It is just a weird situation, because she isn't actually my boss. My boss would be the provost, but I'm pretty sure my chair is the right person. Also, the leave thing will be more up to her than to me... we haven't instituted a formal family leave plan for faculty, so everything is at the chair's discretion. BLERGH.

In this case maybe in person is better then. That way you can talk about the leave situation.
I haven't been crying on and off since this morning. I've just suddenly developed allergies.
H emailed me to tell me that he's been with the same woman since they were 19 and 18. 50 years and dies that young. We are going to marathon some HP later in his honor.
Pregnancy dreams are so weird. I've had one too where I've given birth to a cat. When I was pregnant with DD I had a dream I gave birth to a cheese curd and everyone thought it was totally normal. The nurse took it to give it a bath and it turned into a baby. I'm assuming food was on my mind!
I'm already ready for a nap, where's my 2nd tri energy?
Number One: Born 06.16.2009 BFP: 01.17.2014 / MC 02.05.2014 BFP: 03.08.2014 / MMC: 05.07.2014 Dx: Partial Molar/GTD. Benched until 01.2015 Number Two: Born 07.22.2016
I have to cancel my appointment with my trainer at the gym this afternoon. I'm really sour about it, but I also haven't been going so its probably a good thing.
I also just remembered I was suppose to call the MFM and schedule my NT testing/ultrasound. I'm a little over 12 weeks. Crap.
I am wearing leggings and a tunic dress today and I feel like I am wearing pajamas to work. I am so comfortable I now just want to live in leggings for the rest of this pregnancy.
Leggings are the BEST! I've been living in them and yoga pants since 6 weeks b/c I'm lazy!

My sister gave me some really cute, comfy penguin leggings for Christmas that I know are supposed to be pajamas, but I keep trying to justify wearing them in the day with a black tunic and scarf. I think I can pull them off, right? RIGHT?
PIP when you wear them! I think it would be really cute.
When I told my boss I was pregnant at my previous job he told me to get out of his office and then didn't speak to me for a good 3 months. It's pretty much the reason I left that job.
This morning I told my new boss I was pregnant and the first thing he said was congratulations! He told me to take as much time as I need, that I can work from home and asked if there was anything I needed from him. So different then last time!

My lunch let me down today. It was supposed to be delicious chicken with pasta, but instead it was disgusting chicken with over-spiced sauce on pasta. It let me down and now I am having disgusting burps every 10 minutes reminding me how bad it was. I want a lunch do-over.

Oops, I posted in the wrong randoms.
I haven't had much for RLP, except for a few pangs here and there, but nothing consistent. The last couple of days I have had some pulse pains in my vag. Is that what I am feeling?

That is what it feels like to me. They are uncomfortable twinges that pulse on and off for a minute and then go away. They come and go throughout the day for me.

I was in the bathroom and H yells "I need you!" I come out to DS clinging to a stunned H with blood pouring down his face. I of course switch to nurse mode and take him and ask for supplies to clean and bandage him. Ended up being just a 1/2 inch cut on his forehead that I got to stop bleeding easily. I guess he ran into the edge of the door as they were coming inside.
Poor H is a mess, he doesn't do blood well. DS and I are now cuddling on the couch waiting for the Tylenol to kick in. H went to go get him icecream.

I just called my OBGYN office for an update on my genetic testing and the results aren't in yet....she said the doctor will go over my results at my next appointment which is January 28...so I guess that means they will not be calling me with the results and I'll have to wait WTF. I LOVE my OBGYN, but really don't like her staff...they aren't super friendly like my RE's office.

Poor kiddo, housecarder! Head wounds can bleed so much.
I got back from my appointment with my 3yo in tow.
First the midwife told me that the doctor pushed my due date back two days instead of forward after the ultrasound, making me 11w4d. I was silently so upset which is silly but damn it, I'm 12 weeks today. I was already told. I'm not going back. Then she realized he had done the math incorrectly because he had noted I was further along in the chart and so I'm back at 12 weeks.
Then I had an internal and a pap with my 3yo in the room asking questions. "Mom, is that in your butt?!?"
I haven't been crying on and off since this morning. I've just suddenly developed allergies.
H emailed me to tell me that he's been with the same woman since they were 19 and 18. 50 years and dies that young. We are going to marathon some HP later in his honor.
Totally read this as He emailed me. I was thinking on one hand maybe this Alan guy isn't the famous guy I'm thinking of, and I'm just confused about who died and on the other hand, wow way to slip that in that you were bff's! I'm an idiot.
