Why is it

that when you’re pregnant, people think that you need to see every baby that comes by?  We’ve had a few grandmothers come by work lately with their “new mom” daughters showing off the new baby.  Most of these people I do not know so I have found it awkward to “ooo” and “awe” over their new baby.  While it is nice to see a new baby and start to get it in my head what I will be dealing with in just 4 months, it kind of puts me in a wierd spot.  I like not being the center of attention in most areas and this certainly is one of them for now.  I’m sure it will change and then the focus will be solely on the baby and I’ll fade into the background automatically.  Just an observation for this morning. Enough of that soapbox.

 We have just 1 more “real” day to go before we get to our Thursday morning appt.  Squiggle has been very active this week though it still is just internal. I thought I saw my belly move yesterday when it kicked but I can’t be positive.  Sunday night I had a hard time going to sleep and part of it was due to the party that was happening in my belly.  I started playing the Michael Card CD to it last night and couldn’t help but cry as I listened to it as well. 

My boss has just asked that I participate in a conference call later on with a candidate who is organizationally challenged.  I love the fact that I am organized but it gets me into some interesting scenarios at times.  I’m hoping all he’s going to ask that I do is offer suggestion or take notes.  Unfortunately I think he’s going to ask that I try to coordinate political events on her behalf.  Something I’m not comfortable with at all.  All he has told me thus far is that she is working out of her home trying to call potential supporters of her campaign and that she says that “this person said that they would host an event for me” but then she doesn’t have any follow up.  It smells of calling for pizza to me. 

Work is incredibly slow today.  I’ve done two short things all morning and I’m about to pull my hair out.  The rest of the week doesn’t appear to be promising either as both bosses will be leaving for 3 days this week to go out and meet farmers.   I might be working some crosswords to pass the time.  Lunch can’t come soon enough today…
