I didn't think she'd hug me

Told the biggest gossiper about Peanut today. She went on and on about her mommy-leave (they're planning to acquire a puppy) and I just blurted I'm also off to mommy-leave in April. She was gobsmacked for a second or two and then she thought I was possibly talking about a puppy as well but after pondering she asked if we were having a baby. I told her that it was a real baby, not a hairy four-legged one (I hope!) and she took few fast steps towards me and before I knew it, she was hugging me and congratulating and smiling and all. We met a while later in another room and she was still smiling and congratulating and all. She had noticed my co-worker being pregnant but since little ol' me has some extra baggage around the waist, I'm not the most beautiful pregnant woman.

I'm happy though I got a hug :)
