Spilling more beans - telling work!

I spilled more beans yesterday - I just couldn't wait to tell work. I was going to tell them today in our monthly meeting, but it got cancelled so I said screw waiting! So I waited until everyone got into the office, and then rallied everyone out of their desks and just pulled out the ultrasound picture. They were all so thrilled - and they totally knew. They said they had been talking about it for weeks, but were just waiting for me to tell them. Even the only guy in my department noticed - and I rarely ever see him!

What tipped them off:

• I stopped coming in in the mornings with a cappuccino made at home. Antonia even asked me how my capp. maker was a while back - I said great.... when in fact, coffee just tasted bad so I wasn't making it.
• My acne. They all noticed that (great). Good thing the meds are finally working!
• My weight. They all noticed that too. And they said that this is the first time I've just seemed content with getting bigger. I'm normally the one pushing everyone to do South Beach together, and now I'm advocating bigger pants.
• My eating habits - they said the saltines were a dead givaway. And while I only felt sick for a couple of weeks, those few times they saw me munching on crackers confirmed their suspicions.

Anyway, they're all really excited for me. I then went and told one of the Marketing Managers that I work closely with, and she was so excited - but she had no idea. She looked at my tummy as I was sitting in her office, and said this is the first time she'd noticed it.

And then I went and told the Marketing Director - who used to be my VP at the Internet Franchise. She was surprised... sort of. At dinner a few weeks ago with the old work crew, she noticed my tummy and that my face had gotten a little rounder - and thought it was weird because I was skinny everywhere else and I've always had such a narrow face. So she said she's glad her suspicions were correct, and she's really excited for me.

So, the only beans left to spill at work are to the President, who is the most family-friendly man ever. He'll be so happy for me, and I love that. I'll have to set up a meeting with him or something, because I rarely run in to him unless I'm writing a speech or something for him.

And tonight, I think we'll change our facebook statuses and watch the madness ensue! I plan on saying, "Daphne has a bun in the oven", and Nick's going to say, "Nick is heading out on an ice cream and pickles run" :)
