Prego Moment

Today was a trying day. I received an email from one of our leads wanting to push the project I have not really started, to early next week, now I have to work this weekend when I was planning on finishing my Christmas shopping. The reason the project is taking longer is because the collegue that was "let go", and my reason for not wanting to come into work, totally f--@#ed it up! Anyhoo-- I was really bummed about that. Then I had to sit in a very painful meeting, when the meeting was rudely interrupted by the fire alarm. I don't know what I was thinking, but I took my laptop with me, (I really would not care if it burned in a fire), and we had to stand in the freezing cold. Most people were at their desks, so they had their coats on. Here I am standing, freezing my a$$ off, carrying my stupid laptop. I asked some team members if they parked nearby and one of the guys did. So we sat in his car for a little while until we knew people were going inside.We walked in together an as we were about to open the front door, I lost my balance, and crash, the weeble-wobble tumbled into Albert and landed on the cement. I caught myself with my knees, so I have this huge bruise. I was a little shaken up, but mostly embarrassed. I returned to my desk and I started crying and could not stop. I was hoping no one would come to my desk, because I was so embarrassed I was crying, it was ridiculous. I felt fine, but of course I was thinking the worse, thinking about Ziggy, so I was kind of monitoring her/his movement. Finally a little later, my work friend, Sheila asked how I was doing and I was cracking up, and we were both laughing because I was telling her how I could not stop crying, she knew I was crying too, but could totally relate, even as I was laughing about it, I was still tearing up! I had emailed Aaron a crazy email telling him what happened, so of course he called, cautious of what he said on the phone, since I was in a fragile state. Anyway, I'm fine, just sore. I swear I've fallen way too many times with this pregnancy, I think this baby is either going to be super clumsy or a graceful dancer. LOL!
I have been super emotional this week, finding myself tearing up at the craziest thoughts. I wish this week was a little longer so I could get some crap done at work! The ice storm did not help, I left work early Tuesday.
That's about all. I talked to my friend Caci last night, she said the nicest things to me. I was was great talking to her! Well, pray I stop falling , I do not need the falls as I'm creeping up to my third trimester. I'll talk to you all soon. Need to go to bed.

Oh geez, what a crappy day for you, Cherie! And working on the weekend? Yuck. And at this time of the year, too. I have hopes Ziggy is dancing up a storm and throwing you off balance.

Ugh, what an awful day, Cherie. And working this weekend too? I hope it goes quickly - and might I add SAFELY - for you, too.

Those preggo moments are always so fun to go through. But it sounds like you definitely had a trying day-that's a lot of chaos in one day! Hope you are feeling better. I'm sure Ziggy is just laughing with you...
