Bargaining.

First, you must know that babycenter sent me an update today that told me the name "Axel" is totally "in" this week.

This is not on my list of names.

Second, I just sent off my maternity leave desires to my big boss. NERVOUS. I went no holds. I asked for exactly what I wanted knowing that it most likely will not be accepted.

What makes me more nervous, is hoping that I do not come off as taking advantage of generosity. I would hate that because where I work, and all higher parties involved, are OVERLY generous. I don't want to be "that" person who takes it too far.

I figure, though, if I didn't ask for what I wanted, I'd always wonder "what if?" Or something deep like that.
