Finally things are looking up (PG & $$ related)
So things in the G household have been stressful lately - the miscarriage, work stress, Emmy being sick, DH's company being put up for sale. And now recently my kidney stones (which I still have) and my coworker going out on a leave and leaving me solo at work.
I wasn't going to say anything but Caroline figured it out yesterday. I found out a few weeks ago that I am pregnant again, it looks like I got pg right after the miscarriage. I didnt know you could get pg that quick, but when I posted by body was playing tricks on me - well it wasnt, I just wasnt pg enough for the hormone to pick up on the test. I found out around the time when Carrie was going to the RE and I know Laura is TTC too, so I wanted to be sensitive to you ladies and not make a big deal about it. I remember when I had trouble conceiving Emmy (but no where as long as you ladies) and seeing announcements, esp ones where it was 'easy' for them would upset me. And I am so gun shy that I wanted to wait a while, especially when I got the kidney stones and thought I was miscarrying. Well I had an ultrasound yesterday and I am 6 weeks along and they saw the heartbeat. I am still super nervous and it is going to be the whole time I think (Brandi is trying to talk me off the ledge) but I didnt want to hide it, since it is bound to come up. So Carrie & Laura, I know you will both be happy for me and I'm sure it will sting to see that I'm pregnant again, but I wanted to make sure I didnt hurt your feelings. I know you will get your babies, and I hope and pray, sooner rather than later.
And for my good news today, I got a raise at work! Long story short (since I started to post once but it got lost,boo). We have a lower level position at work that opened up in my area, we interviewed three people and I didnt like them, but my boss went with the one I liked least. Well it was a pay cut for her and she didnt want to take the standard cut. But her rate is too close to my pay and I am a higher lever, will be doing more, training her, blah blah blah. So the big boss approved an increase for me and a smaller cut for her.
I just feel like the cloud is slowly going drifting away and hopefully better days are coming!
