When I was an executive secretary at a large company several years ago, we had staggered lunch breaks so that there would always be someone to answer the phones (this was pre-voice mail).
Shortly after I started, one of the other secretaries came up to me and began telling me about their birthday club; who was in it, how often they went to lunch, what the spending limit on gifts was, etc. I thought she was going to invite me to join them, but no, I was being invited to stay behind and cover the phones so they could all go off to lunch together.
Sometimes it amazes me how unfeeling other women can be. I try to never overlook anyone when there's an event; it's not so hard to do.
Lioness, you're right to not let this affect your friendship with the mother-to-be. It's not her fault!
