It finally feels like spring. I can see the foliage blooming out my office window and I could smell the flowers for the first time today. This would explain why my allergies are kicking full force now. Rumor has it hay-fever will hit twice as hard when pregnant, but it is not any worse then it has been in the past (so far, I will keep you updated).
I have noticed a different change though. My belly is getting harder and harder to hide in my office appropriate clothes. I am finding myself trying on three different sweaters in the morning before I just get fed up and end up wearing a terribly match sloppy outfit. However, working with 5 men… They never notice the catastrophe I am sporting. I guess working in a male dominated industry has its advantages.
Although… Disadvantage #1… This super power since of smell, this baby brought on has enabled me to catch whiffs of there facilitation from far distances. So note; when with a pregnant lady, she can smell odors you are not even aware of.
Since we are on the topic of changes, I might as well talk about the emotions. So the question… Have I turned into the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide? I would say I am handling my self fairly well. I did end up crying alone in the bedroom over feeling overworked and stressed out, but I am! You try working 10 to 12 hours a day, only to come home and have to clean house, make dinner and help your husband with random office duties to make his company run more efficiently, all the while running tomorrows to-do list through your head. When you do that and maintain a healthy blood pressure you can tell me to stop with the self-pity.
Other then those random moments of wanting to give up and move to Puerto Vallarta to work as a tour guide; I have been fairly stable. I do get fed up with my business partner quickly, but again can you blame me? I have more to worry about then being sure every line item on the proposal is 100% descriptive. The client does not give a s#!$ about the line items, they only read the grand total!!
