Phew! Relief.

I told my boss Philip our big news today. He was very excited! He has two-year-old twins of his own, a boy and a girl, Anna and William. He has always been really sweet when he talks about them and he absolutely loves being a Daddy. So I knew that he would receive the news well which made it much easier to approach him about it, but I was still nervous. I guess it's always in the back of your mind that they will worry about your performance at work, and a part of me also just doesn't want things to change. Telling people (especially your boss) means it's really real! That is exciting, but hard to face sometimes. I assured him that I'm 100% committed to coming back full-time, and that I would like to stay engaged even while I'm away, but we talked about how I may feel differently when the time comes, so it's good that he is so understanding. I am very blessed; I know that's not a luxury that a lot of women have in the workplace.
