My boss is pregnant too!!

Have not been bloggin regularly on my condition cuz always feel tired after work, and religiously have to sleep at 10p.m. everyday, if not will feel kinda unwell.. Tis could be an "early night" baby. But always tend to wake up in the middle of the night, feelin stomach empty and can't get back to sleep, like now.

Well, back to the topic. I've just told my lady boss about my pregnancy on last friday - when she got back from her long vacation. It was kinda awkward, din know how to put it across... din even mention the word "pregnant" throughout my whole sentence. I just told her I like to apply leave on this thursday, then following up with a "er... I am going for gynae checkup." Then she nodded and gave me a "ah I know why" look. She never said anything like "congratulations" or "how many months pregnant". Only ask me when I am due...I thought her expression reaction also looks kinda weird.. I can't put to words at that moment, just wondering is she not happy that I got pregnant at this point of time, or just simply not happy that I am pregnant.

Its only today, I know the reason why... She called me to a room in the morning, then told me that there might be some logistical problem this year... I thought there might be some problems in hiring temp staff or wat due to cost cutting measures by the company. Then she told me " The problem is I am pregnant too.."

"AH!" - Inside my mind I am both happy for her yet caught by surprise. How coincidental that both of us are pregnant at the same time. Hers was "accident", as per her account. And she only knew about it on her vacation. She is 1 month later than mine. So for the last quarter of the year, both of us will be away on maternity leave and only left the remaining legal counsel manning the legal desk. However she said that her boss will act as her support throughout this period of time. Definitely she is more important as compared to me la. But guess I have to make sure all the current records are well-kept and easily to be searched, for their convenience.

Well well well...Its really a coincidental surprise. She said that other people in the company sure tease us once they know about it. hee.
