And baby makes three

Although it’s happened a little sooner then we originally planned, Mike and I are overjoyed to announce that we are expecting our first baby. We only just found out a few days ago, in fact, the day after we got back from our trip to New York so this whole week has been a bit like a whirlwind and I think we’re both still a bit dizzy from it all.

Getting back to work happened a little sooner than I was ready for. I came back with a really bad cold that has since turned into a weird sinus infection. Since I’m pregnant I can’t take the strong stuff that I normally do to kick this kind of thing in the ass and I don’t really want to go on antibiotics so soon in the pregnancy. As a result, my voice has gone from sounding like Demi Moore on helium, to a pubescent eighth grade boy, to, in just the last few minutes, something almost totally non-existent except for an occassionally “peep” that sounds a bit like a giggling transvestite. I’ve been lucky so far when it comes to the morning sickness thing, however, I have been suffering from really bad fatigue which is just worsened by this cold since sleeping is somewhat of a problem. It got so bad today that I started to feel faint. I stepped outside and the cool air helped a little and I tried to eat something but I just wasn’t very hungry. As a result, this has truly been the longest, most terrible, horrible, no good, very bad work day I have ever had. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t want to talk to anybody, smile at anybody or even look at anybody but unfortunately I still have a few hours before closing so I’m going to have to whether I like it or not. I just hope my sexy transvestite voice doesn’t scare anyone away.
