Well it has been a very busy couple of weeks! Well my mom flew out for about a week right before mothers day. We surprised her with a mothers day card and told her the good news. I hope she had a good vacation, but I kept her busy! We bought a glider rocker off ksl.com (like craigs list) for $30 a few years ago and so my mom sanded and painted the chair and then reupholstered the fabric on it. It is so adorable now!! It matches the nursery set perfectly! I cannot wait to get it into the room with all the furniture and get it all set up! Well hopefully our
lovely renters will be out by the end of the month so I can get to painting and fixing up the upstairs! Oh man, that will be the day, and I believe a PARTY will be in order when that day finally does come!
Well a couple of days right before my mom left I got fired from my job. I know it sounds terrible, I hate the fact that I have actually been fired from a job. Trust me, I feel like a failure for letting it come to this. Now dont judge, I did not do anything illegal. But it was a stressful job and way too far away. I was going to quit after I had the kid anyways just because I am going to work part time, hoping that Drew will get a decent paying job after he gets his degree! Oh well, if anything it is a relief that I was let go! No more traveling 3 hours to work every day! Such a waist of time. I really was not worried at all that I did not have a job. I had a few days extra that I got to spend with my mom, which was fantastic! But I know that the Lord works in mysterious ways and that everything happens for a reason! I was not upset really at all, yes it was a shock to think about being jobless, but I know that the Lord will help us with what ever hurdles he throws at us!
It was a little over a week of unemployment and I am back to work. It does not pay very well, especially for having a degree, but oh well! It is only a 15 minute drive to work and I only have to work 4 days a week! Although it is 4, 10 hour shifts, it will be nice to have the weekends off and then an extra day off during the week to get things done! It has been my 2nd day on the job and although we (me and my kid) are exhausted, we just need to get use to working 10 hour days! I love the job, once I get things all set up for, hopefully a busy weekend, then I think I wont have to work so hard. I am working at a garden center and greenhouse, and I have been moving all of the annuals out of the greenhouse by hand and setting up displays for the weekend. Its a little ma and pa owned shop, but I hope it will be promising. I hope I can help his business and sell those plants!!
Well an update... I am almost finished with my first trimester and I have not thrown up once! Oh I am so glad I got my mothers genes!!! The only thing that I really have not liken was being hungry all the time the first 8 weeks or so. Now it is not too bad, I have to eat a few snacks here and there, but it is not as bad as the first few weeks! I had a dream a few nights ago.. no one knows about it, I have just written it in my journal, and that is about it. But it was a precious moment that I had with my son. Yup I dreamed about a boy. Oh gosh I so hope and pray that it is a girl! It would be perfect to have a girl! But the decision has already been made, I just have to wait a few more weeks to find out! But things are going on smoothly. I toss and turn at night and my underwear's waist band tend to bug me at night. But other than that, I dont really have a bell yet, thank goodness! Well until next time!
10 weeks down! 30 more weeks to go!
