i was thinking that exact same think!! actually just looking for a post about it before i made one myself... there have been a lot of continuity mistakes with meredith, mostly from the episode "The Alliance":
in The Alliance, when michael asks about meredith, dwight replies, "Name, Meredith Palmer. Uh, personal information, divorced twice, two kids..." but for the rest of the show it seems that meredith only has one son, Jake, as seen in Take Your Daughter To Work Day.
Also, from the Alliance, Pam says that Meredith's birthday is the next staff birthday, "but it's not until next month." Then, in Survivor Man, where Jim tries to combine birthday parties, Angela says, "Today is birthday month. Creed's is today, Oscar's is week after next, Meredith's is at the end of the month."
Also, in The Alliance, Jim wrote in Meredith's birthday card, "Meredith, I heard you're turning 46, but, come on, you're an accountant. Just fudge the numbers." But in Boys and Girls, she says, "Hi, I'm Meredith, and I'm an al- Good at supplier relations." For this one, I realize she could have changed jobs, I just thought I'd throw that in there.
If anyone can explain to me how these are not continuity mistakes, I would greatly appreciate it! It's been bugging me for quite some time now
