Conference turris::womannotes-v2

    I also told my managers that I was pregnant early on since I was
    not feeling well a lot of the time and knew I might be late 
    occasionally.  I asked them not to tell my co-workers and they
    kept it to themselves.
    
    When I was ready to let my co-workers know, I began by telling
    those I was most comfortable with and let them know it was okay
    to let others know.  I generally got a very positive reaction 
    from everyone.  Word spread pretty quickly in my group and I
    didn't have to tell everyone myself ... I was kind of low on
    energy and it worked out well.
    

    
    re .0: well now you've put it in here the chances are your co-workers
    know.  :-)
    
    Incidentally congratulations on being the author of the 500th note.

    One of my co-workers put it on her slide as "GOALS FOR NEXT PERIOD".
    
    It was at our weekly team meeting.  It was a surprise but went over
    well.
    
    The slide said something like:
   GOALS FOR NEXT PERIOD: 
   
    *	Baby due in Q4 FY 89
    
    *	Baby's initials will NOT be DEBNA (project name)
    
    *	Please, no horror stories about pregnancy
    
    *	Trying to bring in schedule
    
    	

>       GOALS FOR NEXT PERIOD: 

    ?? - but, if she was pregnant... 

    And if you want to see the best birth announcement in the history
    of DEC, ask Carol duBois for a copy of her son's on-line birth
    announcement!

    I too, told my manager at 2-3 months and asked him to keep it in
    confidence.  At 5 months I was feeling good again, and wanted
    to share the news.  So on a Monday morning I brought in Donuts
    for my unit so they could celebrate with me.  That's how I
    spread the news. 

Ah, shucks!  Well, I think it may already be in here somewhere, but for
those who are curious...(he actually had quite a bit of hair, but this was
not known by the person filling out the blanks for us)...

    Field Service hot line solves unknown software bug ....
    
    One of our customers (a good friend) asked their field service rep how 
    I was doing, letting the cat out of the bag. The rep being the
    concerned person he is realizes he has not seen me around the
    office and inquires to my whereabouts but nobody seems know (I work out
    of the office at customer sites quite often, but this time
    I was at training for 2 weeks, and my unit knew it, but try to find
    them).
       
    Last upon my return I was congratulated by everyone I passed,
    the first one said "I hear congratulations are in order and shakes
    my hand". We were both embarrassed when I had to ask him what happened 
    while I was gone to be congratulated about! 
    
    M.A.    

    Janice, my sweetie, is three months pregnant. She's due in April.

	Happy, nervous, excited, panicked, oh-my-god-here-we-go,
