newbuzz...There is a young woman at work who is expecting her first baby on April 10th. She is delightfully big bellied and full of optimism. We love to give her advice and tell her our own baby stories. We smile and chuckle as we hear about her aches and pains. We remind her to get up and walk around to avoid putting her back out. We caution her to rest and take plenty of naps now as she won't be sleeping much after the baby comes. Everyone joins in with his or her two cents worth of knowledge whether or not they have children of their own. There is nothing so wonderful at work as having an expectant mother in the midst. Her condition brings out the nurturing in people and the desire to protect her builds a community spirit of cooperation. We will miss her when she is on maternity leave, but we will have so much more advice to give when she comes back to work with a little bundle of joy at home.
