Gratulacje Beatrice The people at your new job are lucky to have you :luv17:
Just a random thing I'm saying now that some alcohol's in my system: ancientpeas gave the name Beatrice to her, but I'm giving a GS name to myself. Well, kinda.
See, when I was first thinking for a username I did Chatdelune, as in French for cat of the moon. It wasn't available, so I just added an I in front. That I is English. And people shorten my username to Ichat. Which is read as 'I-sha' (I'm too tired to type the IPA). So ta-da, Aisha.
My English name is Sarah, but I can't do that since there are too many Sarahs , so here it is. Just sayin'.
I was looking through my news feed on Facebook the other day, and somebody in the public eye who I am a fan of put up a photo of herself getting presented with something or other. And as soon as I saw the photo I said to myself "you're pregnant".
I swear, she was doing ALL the classic things that women do when they are trying to disguise that they are in the family way. (Which kinda makes you think: why do they still bother doing these things? Because, rather than disguising it, doing them nowadays just gives it away).
And now I am thinking "would you hurry up and announce it! Because if I have worked it out, then no doubt other people will too. And these other people may not be as discreet as me!"
Don't worry, it's not anybody you guys would know.

That’s lovely! As for why she didn’t say you can’t say for 12 weeks in case of complications.
I just ordered a taco pizza with Jalapeño and Sour cream for delivery and I couldn’t stop my self from throwing in a side order of Tator Tots.
I predict a food coma is in my future!!
Ohhhhh, it was Ekaterina Bobrova! Congratulations, Ekaterina!

That should explain things. I think half of Russian women would deny they're pregnant until after the baby was born if the belly didn't make it obvious. Unless things have changed dramatically since a few decades ago, they also don't buy baby stuff until after the birth or have baby showers.
Urgh, there's a random confession for you: I really, really, really hope that no one ever invites me to a baby shower. Every strand of Russian DNA in my body will be screaming, "NOOOOOOO, YOU'RE GOING TO JINX THE BABY!"
