WARNING: I am about to throw myself a little pity party. . . feel free to back out of the post now.
The last week has SUCKED. It all started last Tues when we though we were losing the baby. Luckily, it was just a subchorionic bleed but that can cause m/c or numerous other complications along the way. I've been on "pelvic rest" since Wednesday which my doctor very clearly stated that if I didn't just rest as much as possible she'd put me on bed rest. This has meant H has had to pick up all the slack around the house. Which he has done wonderfully but I feel so guilty. He's drowning at work and then having to come home and take care of cooking, cleaning, Roxey, etc is just so much on him. I've cried daily since all this started which I am sure is the hormones but it still sucks. I feel like such a wuss.
Then yesterday we discovered this:
That would be a colony of termites eating their way through the hardwood floors in our foyer right in front of the door! Are you fuccking kidding me?!?! We paid an asssload for Centricon and there is a station right outside our front door. Why are termites eating my house?!?!? H and I had to play the who has a busier schedule game this morning to decide who would wait for the termite guy. . . well I lost. Granted he does have a really important meeting this morning but I don't want to deal with this, I want him to. I'm supposed to be volunteering at a blood drive at my office this morning and having lunch with my best friend who I never see now that he lives way south of the airport. I had to bail on both b/c the termite guy is coming between 10:30 and 12:00. We will both be missing the first half of work tomorrow too b/c I go back for a follow-up u/s.
Also, it's like Roxey can sense there is a lot going on and she will not leave my side. When I sit down on the couch she must lay on top of me. If she can't get on top of me comfortably she will sit and growl at me until I reposition myself. Now, I love my pup so much but her need to constantly be on me is just stressing me out more. I need a little space from time to time.
I can't handle all this stress. I just want to curl up in a ball and not wake up until the end of April. We were planning on paying off my car with our tax refund and part of our bonuses but now it looks like we'll be replacing the floors in our foyer. GRRRRRRRRRRR
If you made it this far, kudos to you! I think I'm going to try to take a nap while I wait on the termite guy.

I am so sorry about the termites! Be sure to check your termite contract because there may be a clause that the company will repair any damage if you get termites while under contract. HUGS!!

I had no idea you were pregnant. Congrats! To make you feel better, multiple moms I know had bleeding in their first trimester, and everything was fine. In fact, one of the blogs I follow the mom had significant bleeding, as she called it she had "abstract art in her underwear", LOL. Anyway, it was a subchorionic hematoma, and everything was just fine in the end, but it was definitely scary in the beginning.
I'm sorry about your floors, that sucks big hairy donkey balls. BUT, and I don't mean to trivialize your feelings, you have to try to stay calm for the baby. Don't feel guilty about your H having to pick up the slack around the house, that's what he's for. He's not sacrificing himself, and it's good practice for when the baby comes, because you will be busy with nursing (if you choose to) so he will have to pick up the slack then too. Just tell him it's good training.
Hang in there, I hope things settle down for you soon!
P.S. I would check your contract with Centricon to see if they will cover the damages.

T&P for you. Try and take it as easy as you can.. you need this now. Glad to hear you are taking a nap. Take a big deep breath, and get through this time.. it will start to turn and get better.
**hugs**
Thank you, girls. I really appreciate the hugs & T&Ps. Pest control guy came out and took pictures. They'll be back on Monday to drill more bait closer in to our foundation. Until then we get to just clean up all the dead bodies and dirt. YUCK! This is one instance where I am very thankful to not be allowed to do anything strenuous, poor H.
I'll let y'all know how things go tomorrow. I'm praying for a growing bean with a heartbeat but we'll see. (P&R - I briefly mentioned being pregnant in a FFF post and deleted it pretty soon after)
lol, i'm starting the rumor you're in the mafia
