Pregnant Lady Emotional Crisis. Whee!
So, Friday was one of my first pregnant lady emotional crises in the course of the pregnancy, heh. Figured I should blog this for posterity, though.
As you know, I've been dealing with swollen feet for quite some time now. It's something I've dealt with every summer for the past few years here and there, usually around convention season for a few days, so it wasn't a huge surprise that it happened in my pregnancy. It's been two months now of swollen feet, but I've dealt with it pretty well, I think.
However, Friday morning, I woke up and went to slide into my sandals. These sandals are not only made of a stretchable elastic, they're also size 9 Wide. I normally wear 8 1/2, usually wide just for comfort factor.
But they didn't fit!
Oh, noes!
So with great trepidation and emotional fragility, I wore FLIP FLOPS to my office job. I felt just terrible about it (How unprofessional! Flip flops to an office job!!), so as soon as I got to the office I went and confessed to my boss. Now, I work with an office full of therapists/psychologists, and I'm sure it didn't take a Ph.D. to tell that I was a bit fragile at this point. Luckily for me, the boss just smiled and said "Don't worry about it." Had he been remotely disapproving or negative in any way, I'm sure I would have just burst into tears.
Bah.
These silly pregnant hormones. Of course he was fine with me wearing flip flops. Not only am I pregnant with swollen feet, but every day I come to work is an extra day of no panic in the office due to my absence (Yes, I've become indespensable. Yay!).
So, now, I always wear flip flops to work because they're still the only shoes that fit. I still feel a little guilty and sheepish (it's not professional!!), but with none of the fragility from Friday. Heh.
