Its been forever since I have posted...I just havent been feeling like it but now I have lots of time to post...why do I have lots of time you may ask....
I got laid off :( :(. I got my Masters in May and was totally unhappy with my job and wanted out. 2 months later I transfered departments and found my dream job. For the past 7 months I have loved my job, loved my schedule, loved the staff, everything. I was so happy that I switched departments. Well we got an email on Friday the 13th letting us know that due to the lovely state budget our program had lost 75% of its funding as of March 1st. I was with the agency for 7 years so I was hoping that I would be saved...but I wasnt. They counted my time with the program.....7 months...and did not count my time with the agency. The thing I am most sick about is I lost all my sick time which was 350 hours. I was soooo sad and still am. So today was my first day of officially not having a job. We are officially poor so we cut the cable etc. I attempted to watch some TV today, with all my many choices of TV channels (ya right), and there was nothing but crap on!! I guess that is a good thing because I actually did the dishes and some laundry and went out to lunch with my parents. We shall see how this jobless things goes...fun times!!
This is mine and Zac's piggy bank...aka fetus fund...why do we call it the fetus fund??? Well a little over 3 months ago I took 4 of these...
We thought it was too good to be true so I took 4 of these lovely things and they all said the same thing...POSITIVE...VERY EXCITING!!!!
And this is our little one. I am officially 14 weeks. We went to the doctor at 9 weeks and got this picture of our little peanut aka Baby Eureka or Baby Bissell as some have said...lol!! We got to hear the baby's heart beat last week and that was really cool. It sounded like a galluping horse:) This is one of the main reasons I was sooo sad that I lost my job. Im due Sept 14th, (which is also Zac's bday) and if I still had my job I would have had 12 weeks paid maternity leave and in addition I would have been paid my same salary with the short term disability I had, oh well. We now save every piece of change and put it into the fetus fund! Ive been able to work more hours at the hospital which is good. Loosing my job has been really frustrating but we also feel extremely blessed to be able to have this baby and for me to be able to work more hours at the hospital. We dont have extra money to save like before but we will work it out!! We cant wait until Sept...and I cant wait until I stop throwing up!!
