How I found out my co-worker is Pregnant!

They say everyday you live and learn..and boy did I learn today!..about women and their pregnancy related issues. Now if you're like me and completely mystified/terrified/scared sh**less of the entire process of giving birth then you would have the same reaction as I did...it's funny because this entire week has been full of surprises for me..some welcome and other's well not so welcome I guess (the ATM incident & an argument yet again with none other then sister dear..but I still love her heheh). One of my co-workers turns out is yea you guessed it...PREGNANT!...is well into her fourth month....yaaay and congratulations to her especially since she had told me a while back that she and her husband were trying to get pregnant for a while...and please excuse me if this is TMI..heheh. Well anyways we were having a very interesting conversation about how she and her husband met and how they ended up getting married(that little story deserves another posting altogether), and bare in mind that I had no idea that she was pregnant...when all of a sudden in the midst of our conversation she became very quiet. I thought that perhaps she did not hear the last remark that I had made to her and so repeated myself but to no avail. It seemed like she had completely zoned out and then all of a sudden she got up (and mind you I'm sitting right in front of her the entire time) and made a beeline towards the restroom. At this point I'm thinking to myself "What?!..should I go inside and check up on her?", I mean after all she could be choking or something and needless to say the caring and considerate person that I am...(ehehe you know it!) I go in...and witnessed first hand and for the first time ever one of the many annoying/bothersome things that pregnant woman go through..."MORNING SICKNESS!"...she was hunched over the washbasin, throwing up and saying shit!shit! and Oh God! over and over again..now I was worried..really worried..I had no idea what was wrong with her..I'm thinking all kinds of scary things..and yea dork that I am it still did'nt hit me that she was hello..PREGNANT!..so I'm standing there asking her if she was okay which she obviously was'nt..when finally her cries subsided..she grabbed some napkins and then finally after what seemed like eternity noticed me, smiled like nothing had happened and told me "Oh! I did'nt realize you were here, you know what this means don't you?"..and then it FINALLY dawned upon me that she was going to be a mommy. I replied to her "CONGRATULATIONS, HOW WONDERFUL!" and we walked out of the restroom together. Now, honestly I'm not hungry anymore.

Crazy morning...!

So today I decided to get some cash from the ATM machine before heading out to work. I get to the bank and am standing in front of the damn machine only to discover that my freakin card was not in my wallet. At this point, the control freak in me starts to go berserk...I tell myself....calm down..calm down...surely this is not the worst thing that could possibly happen to me..so just chill..I mean after all just about 2 weeks ago a close friend of mine had her car stolen (thank god she got it back!)...this was only an ATM card..I'm like suck it up..so I check inside my car..no luck..then I go home hoping that I may find it tucked inside the pocket of the shirt I wore to work yesterday..but my search ended in vain and another half hour was lost...so now I'm thinking where the last place that I used my card was..and! and! and! no surprises there...it was at the Starbucks by my work..so I become very optimistic and drive down there but alas no luck there either..now at this point, there was'nt anything else to do but to cancel my card and have a new one sent to me which was a huge botheration considering the fact that my card is my life-line...so I FINALLY get to work and am sitting inside my car chiding myself about all the time I lost due to my little ATM card fiasco..when EUREKA!...a little voice inside my head says to me..did you check the little area right beside the driver's seat?..you know that one spot where quarters, dimes, nickels, old love notes!! and what have you seem to mysteriously turn up..so just as I was about to step outside my car I turn around and look below and sure enough..tucked inside that little area between the driver's seat and what I call the "miscellaneuos crap compartment " was my ATM card..how happy was I..mystery solved and lesson learnt..always look carefully inside your car before taking items for being lost.!.now I shall go ahead and get "high" over the week-end..peace out..be safe..and behave!....:-)
