Roads stunk! |
Who me? I am not 17 weeks (at the time) pregnant! |
This face makes my day! |
Sick little bear this past week... |
So where does that leave me now.... Well, I still have not told my new employer................ I know right?? I am terrified. I am coming up on my one month mark (tomorrow) and maybe I will tell him then. It is scary. It is a small office and they truly rely on the people they have working in it. Leaving them in peak season of he industry this summer is going to be difficult on them. There is also the fear of, will they find some way to get rid of me before then? So yes, I am procrastinating. Yes I am scared and Yes I know I have to do it..... Eventually....
This week, same day... Proud of the bump vs hiding the bump.... Gotta love flowy shirts. |
Knowing all of that, I will certainly choose not to put myself through any of that testing, even if there seems to be a "Slight abnormality". My kid turned out to be an almost 8lb baby, healthy, happy and FULL of beans!
So, April 11th, here is to finding out that all is okay and the possibility of whether or not you are a "he" or a "she". My sneaking suspicion is another girl. Why, I have no idea. After all this pregnancy thus far is polar opposite of my pregnancy with Kaylee. I still think it is a girl. My mother on the other hand is adamant it is a boy. That being said, I, like every expecting mother, wish for only a healthy baby. He. She. It really does not matter as "it" already owns a piece of my heart.
18 week- pic yesterday... Maybe work will just notice and I wont have to tell them??? |
Would love some feedback.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a Thrilling Thursday Y'all!!!

Great post Jaym. Like you, I was terrified to tell my boss. And I agree, they say they aren't allowed to discriminate but it does happen. I waited and waited until I to was showing... I worked for an agency so I emailed them first, which then they emailed the company to let them know. The next day I pulled the big boss aside and asked to speak with him privately. Spilled the beans while sweating the whole time... Turned out he was totally happy for me. He to was a Father and understood that this is life and this is what happens. My supervisor however was more of a jerk but in the end his opinion didn't matter anyway. A few weeks before I left they had me train a replacement and Bu Bye!! I know it's hard but you can do it. It will help them to better prepare for your replacement.
ReplyDeleteWhat I wish I have done differently during my pregnancy... I wish I had professional photos taken, or had one of those cute timeline photo series where I'm sitting on the bed and each pic shows my belly getting bigger until finally she's sitting there with me. Maybe next time (if). You should maybe see if Brian will do your professional photos!
I wish your pregnancy gets better for you, and wish you a very healthy happy happy baby. Boy, or girl.... I vote boy :P
Thanks for the support Momma. Here is hoping it goes well. I have spoken to Brian about photos and he is onboard :)
DeleteMiss you so much!!! xoxoxo
Weeee baby bump!!! I love baby bumps so much. I sometimes wonder what I'll look like with a baby bump. I have a feeling the girls are going to get huge though.. lol. I miss you and we need to get together soon!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you with your own bump one day pretty lady!!! I have a feeling it will suit you just fine!! :) The girls are huge with or without pregnancy. LOL Lets plan a date! xo
DeleteWow! That is some wicked awesome "flowy shirt". Great choice! ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new job. I understand, all too well, the stress of looking for a job and starting in a new place. Yikes! As if the hormones and exhaustion aren't bad enough!
I think you did the right thing. You sort of have to get in touch with the inner "Mamma Bear" when it comes to a situation like this. That teeny passenger is numero uno! :D
I am sure it will all work out for the best in the end. Your new workplace will understand. (Or they won't.) You needed a job and you earned one! So yay!
Hey there,
DeleteThanks so much for the words is wisdom. It is a tough spot to be in and here is hoping it goes well. My inner Mamma Bear us in full alert. Its amazing how things change over the years.
Thanks again for the feedback!
Jaymie
P.S. That "flowy shirt" is a god send sent to me straight from Reitmans. LOL
