Well that went well

I just told my boss the news. It went amazingly well. I was quite nervous, so we talked for 15 minutes first about projects I’m working on, the meeting coming up on Saturday, etc. Then I finally said “I have some news” and he had this look on his face like he knew what was coming. I said “I’m having a baby”. And he said he already suspected way back last month when we went out for our annual review and I didn’t have a drink. He said it wasn’t like me not to have a drink with them… hehe! He is very happy for me and says we’ll sit down sometime soon to come up with a strategy to deal with work while I am on mat leave. He doesn’t think it will be a problem, especially since we have 5+ months to figure this out.

I am so relieved! Now I just have to tell the rest of my coworkers. I may tell some people this week, or I may wait until next week. We’ll see how it goes.
