I did not get fired!!!

Since one of my co workers at work found out about my pregnancy on Facebook I knew I was going to have to tell my boss soon about the baby. My original brilliant plan had been to wait until maybe my water broke at work or someone had a weight intervention for me when I could no longer see my feet. But alas this was not to be... my biggest fear was that I would lose my job before Brad and I were ready for that step and my child would have to sleep in a basket in a van down by the river. Okay a bit dramatic, but the Baby Moon we want to go on would definitely be out of the question. To say my boss is not a understanding man and is very focused on growing his business is a gross understatement and with my company being so small none of the maternity laws could protect me. But I have to give credit where credit is due, he did not fire me and seemed generally happy for Brad and me. He even said that I could take off as much time as I needed and my job would be there waiting for me. The shock must have been all over my face as he laughed and said, "Why do you look so shocked?" I would have answered that is was because almost every other day he insults my intelligence and makes me question why they call work "work" instead of "hell"... but that seemed a bit like over stepping myself when he was being so nice. Any way the good news is that our great news is out and now I can be grumpy/tired, eat more snacks, and avoid smelly people at work and everyone blames the baby. Plus I didn't get fired!
