Today has just been one of those days. I've been left alone once I got to my office, but it certainly started out rough.
I started out running late to work, my mom and sister came with me so they could take my car for the day. I figured no point in making them get a rental for their vacation they could have mine. I then promptly forgot that would add about ten minutes to my morning routine.
I call my coworker K and tell her I'm running late and she gives me a heads up that our other coworker M announced that she was pregnant yesterday. 9 weeks. Insert gut punch #1. I put on my big girl panties because I can't freak out with the family in the car. I counted my blessings she did it yesterday while I was off, and hoped she wouldn't say anything today. I knew I'd be wrong, that's just how she is, but I was hoping.
Get to our morning meeting, and at the end, in front of our whole staff and all the interns she comes out with "I'm pregnant, in case you didn't already know or haven't heard" and looks straight at me. Gut Punch #2. She knows about my m/c. It sucked. There are only ten of us full time so it's not like I can avoid her as she continues to grow her bump.
So I come in my office, shaky, nauseated, and just wanting to crawl into a hole. I went through the motions of checking my messages and such. I open facebook and bam! There are brand new just born photos of Baby E. The just born this week son of a girl I went to high school with. Gut Punch #3.
I closed Facebook and crawled under my desk. Literally. I stayed there for a few minutes until I could get myself back together. Since I came out, M has called to confirm our noon meeting today that I had forgotten about. At least I have some time to prepare and figure out how to make it short and sweet.
Blech, I just want to go to home and hide there.
