I'm a geek mom and an office robot powered by coffee. Navigating being a parent in spaces where I don't necessarily feel like I fit the standard parent mold is challenging, and isolating. Instead of posting about all the wild things that are going on with my body and brain on my social media accounts, I thought blogging might be a constructive avenue for me to write about my strange life journey both as a geek parent and a robot.

Never Tell Me The Odds
When someone at work tells you that you look like you're about ready to have your baby, and you're only 18 weeks in...
Okay, so maybe I'm already feeling a little bit self-conscious anyways, but can we call agree that talking to a pregnant woman about how she looks should be taken off the table? Or maybe just in general, pregnant or not, can we stop making assumptions about other people's bodies? I'm trying my best here, but sometimes it's a little discouraging as I've had several comments recently about my weight. I eat healthy, I walk daily, I chase after a very active toddler daily. Some women just get big during pregnancy, especially shorter women with short waistlines like myself.
