I've added a link to the archives over there on the right. I noticed that older entries were scrolling off the bottom. So, there ya go. Knock yourselves out.

So, I've told my boss (for whom I do 80% of my work) and my other boss (for whom I do 20% of my work) the good news. Boss A (the 80% one) congratulated me and wanted to know if I was coming back. I said the plan right now was yes, I would be coming back, although I didn't know when. Kris and I need to decide if we're going to do the standard 6 week maternity leave or if we want to use my 3 weeks of vacation to extend that or if we want to go a full 12 weeks and take some of it without pay. He said there was plenty of time to figure that out. Boss B (the 20% one) said congratulations. I told him I rescheduled my appt next week to work around training and he said in the future, we could work training around my appointments. I thought that was nice, especially considering this training is a big deal to get done. After next week's appointment (provided all goes well, crossing fingers) I'll tell other people at work and our extended family. You guys will be free to talk!

On the health front, everything is going well. I've been able to keep almost everything down lately. I don't know if that's due to being farther along or just keeping my stomach with something in it at all times. It feels like I'm eating all the time but that's also when I feel best. I'm still sleeping a lot more too. Last night I fell asleep at 9pm on the couch. Of course, I woke up a bunch of times during the night but I blame that on the dog and her noisiness. The only other thing going on is my poor face. My facial dermititis (spelling?) is back. My skin has been really dry lately and I'm not sure if that's because of the winter air or pregnancy hormones. Either way, my face is taking a beating. The redness and itchiness is back. Once again, it's around the lower half of my mouth. It's quite attractive. (did you get that sarcasm?) I'll ask the OB next week if there's anything I can safely take to make it go away. Last time, the dermatologist put me on some pills (and I can't remember what they were) but I don't think those are safe for pregnancy. I hope something is. I hate feeling like a freak walking around with this yucky redness around my mouth. Ah, the joys of pregnancy. :)
