i really don't want to tell anyone i am pregnant right now, especially not work. but i have to get out of a trip to moscow the beginning of october when i will only be 11 weeks. basically our board of directors meeting is in moscow and i was not originally on the list to go, which i and my direct boss thought was uncool.

so together we have convinced the powers that be that i need to be on the list to go. only now i am preg and i really do NOT want to travel over seas until i am firmly in my second tri. so now i need to beg out. but since i worked so hard to convince people that i shoud go, i can't come up with any lame excuse about not being able to go now. only the truth will work here or i will look like a flighty idiot.

i am going to see if i can limit the truth telling to my boss and the executive VP. no one else really knows about all the convincing that has gone on.

and i would totally rather be preg than go back to Moscow....but it would have been a cool trip!

Stephanie~


I'm sorry that you are not able to tell your work at your own time~but you are only looking out for yourself and your little one.

Ahh, i know how you feel. I am trying to wait as long as possible to tell my other co workers (there are only 7 of them).
