How do I say this nicely.... pregnancy give you BALLS. As someone who has spent most of her life holding in feelings and putting others' needs first, I can really say that I enjoy this time in my life.

Suddenly, I can say what I feel, when I'm actually feeling it. I can tell people no. I can tell people to suck it. I can get my way! Because really, who is going to tell a pregnant woman no?

While it's great for me, my boss is coming in to town tomorrow and I'm a little nervous... for her sake. I rarely see her, and she doesn't know me well. For the last few months she's had to deal with my Elton John diva-level tantrums through email. I can only imagine what a face to face meeting will bring.

I'm not sure if it's the hormones or the new perspective that comes with growing a human. I have a much better handle on what is/ isn't important. And more than anything, I don't feel the need to waste time on stupidity and not saying what needs to be said.

Or maybe it's just, you know... pregnant women are smug??
