The big news (at least to me) is that I'm pregnant. C and I are expecting our first child in May. I have been out of town, working crazy hours. Once I get back to my hotel, I just work more. I was about to have a nervous breakdown today, but it's only until the rest of this week. My performance manager called last week, but I only had about 2 minutes to talk with him. I didn't even get a chance to ask if he knows what my bonus is going to be. We have time scheduled to talk next week. I hope to post more soon, but not sure how much time I'll have.

Interesting Article
Check out this article from the NY Times about checking cashing. I never understood why people used checking cashing and payday loans, like National Payday, but now it makes more sense.

congrats!!
Oh! Congratulations!!!
P.S. I hope you didn't need a breakdown, and that you're doing better.
Asian American twenty-something consultant? You sound like me. Haha.
The life of a consultant is too much for me sometimes. But congratulations on your child! Maternity leave will be great.
Wow! Congrats! Kids will be more work than you ever imagined, and at the same time, the effort you spend on them will be more rewarding than you ever imagined.
Get your sleep now...
Hey, where ya been at friend? :) making more babies?
Thanks for the comment the other day. Congratulations on the pregnancy! I hope you & yours are doing well.
Wow, congrats on your little one! Is she/he here now? I've been trying to think of some useful advice and the best I can come up with is the first 6 weeks are the hardest and it WILL get better. Oh, and you WILL get to 6 weeks, not that I believed it possible at the 2 week mark! Good luck with it all and let us know how you're going :-)
