Today is my last day of work before maternity leave starts, and I’m in my feels 🥲 My coworkers are like family! Sadly, I don’t have everyone’s reaction, but I’m so happy I have some reactions on tape to remember. This has truly been the most special season! 🫶🏼
Funny story- my coworkers, Madelyn and Caroline, knew before my husband even knew because I took a test at work, and I got Madelyn to confirm that she saw a line. 😆😆 THEN I full on panicked because I forgot the test in a room where everyone would see it. And, of course, I had already left work for the day, so I had to get my friend Caroline to dispose of it for me. 😂😂😂 when I told Paul the great news later that night (6 tests later to confirm), I said, “I’m so sorry but you’re not the first to know” LOL! One of my favorite days ever.
I remember telling my friend, Johnette, pretty early on because I had had an emotional day. She asked me what was wrong, and I word vomited, “I’m pregnant” 😭😂 and she immediately said, “I’m throwing you a shower!” 🥲♥️ and it was the best shower surrounded by my work and Shreveport friends!
I can’t believe this season is coming to an end. Savoring it all before our lil Biscuit is done baking! 10 days or less 🥲♥️
