coworker annoying me to death

pawcallpawcall member
in 1st Trimester

I should preface this with "I know I shouldn't have told him." 

One of my coworkers is a very close friend of mine.  My husband and I socialize with him and his family (wife and three kids) often, and I occasionally watch their kids while they're on mommy-daddy dates.

When I got my BFP, I needed someone to talk to, so I told him.  Well, I completely regret it now, because he's driving me INSANE.  

He won't stop making "veiled" remarks about it.  Constantly.  He just wants to talk about it all the time.  I confronted him (gently) and reminded him that I am NOT telling people yet and would appreciate his discretion.  So now he's started making hand motions that would indicate that I am pregnant (making"big belly" motions, or pretending to rock a baby in his arms) when he thinks no one is looking.  Because that's more subtle.  Aaaand he still talks about it constantly.

He is Driving. Me. Insane.   And I have no one to blame but myself, because I'm the one who told him.  Argh.

    OMGosh, some men! haha People talk about chatty women in the office, but we all have that man in the office that just doesn't know how to be discreet! LOL Sorry girl!  You may need to just give him some mean attitude or something so he can get the HINT to stop! haha

     By the way, LOVE your pic, looks like a real Coke advertisement! :) TC and let him have it! haha

    I have a male co-worker who I have not told yet (waiting until my u/s tomorrow at least) but he totally knows! He keeps asking me if I am and he told another co-worker (who I have told) to "just wait, she's going to tell us soon!" I guess men can be more intuitive than we give them credit for.... and other times, more insensitive than we could ever expect. GL with that!
