coworkers

you don't realize how quiet you are throughout the day until you change up your work environment. i have been pretty spoiled this past month by working from home. and now i am downtown for the next month or so - or until i feel uncomfortable - working with the p&g team. it is nice to be back and have people to talk to. poor mike was probably going nuts. when he'd walk in the door i would just talk non-stop. there are 6 other pregnant women. one woman is having twins and she is due 10 days before we are. she's not huge at all.

so i get to hear stories and realize i'm pretty normal and lucky. it's funny people didn't realize i was pregnant before, but there is no hiding from my belly now. plus it was cooler out and i had sweaters on all the time.

i walk into the big honchos office and he was like - whoa - you're pregnant - i didn't know that. you were just here a month or so ago. i laughed. he was so seriously shocked. yea i'm pregnant and i was pregnant last time i was here i said. he was like how were you 6 mos pregnant and i didn't notice. it was funny. i got my own little cube, big screen, new mouse and a place to put my feet up. not bad. but it's not home on my couch in my pjs.

but i'm so close to mike we can meet for lunches if we want and tonight i'm going to go see his new office. he moved up some floors. scary - i think he's like on the 70th something floor - he looks down on the prudential building. scary. he can see the storms roll in. his building is the third tallest in chicago. i don't think i'd like working that high.
