My Assistant just found out that she’s pregnant. And when I say pregnant, I mean that she is so newly pregnant, the fetus was practically just conceived. She got married last month and her and her husband decided not to “protect themselves”. According to My Assistant, she had her last period on July 18th. She took a pregnancy test on August 19th. and confirmed her pregnancy with a doctor on August 20th. Everyone in the office already knows. Since Monday she has complained about morning sickness twice. Today I heard this:
My Assistant: (pointing to her belly) See this? I didn’t have this before. I’m already showing.
Coworker: Are you kidding me? You are like two days pregnant. Your baby isn’t even an inch big!
and:
Coworker: Congratulations. How far along are you?
My Assistant: About 2-3 weeks
Coworker: How are you feeling?
My Assistant: I’m already getting sick.
Coworker: Really? Isn’t it a little early for that?
My Assistant: Well, I don’t know. This is my first child
