the good with the bad

Well it's been over three months since my last post and I guess it's time I get back to it. I'm not loving the new format options and I was at a loss of a new title..so I'll call it my blog in progress.

Anyway, I've got good news and crappy news. I'll start with the crap because I prefer to end things on a positive note.

I very well might be losing my job. To make a long story short...the county sucks ass at budgeting and have relied on money from other counties to pay their bills and now the money isn't there. They are predicting that there will be around 70 layoffs and I think that might still be a conservative figure. In any case, I got my official warning of layoff notice today. All that means is that I might get laid off come December 17. Which I didn't need a letter telling me that, but whatever. There is still a possibility I won't get laid off but the not knowing is the hardest part.

And on to the good news, which most of you know already, is that I'm pregnant! I should have probably been writing about my experience up until now, but well, what can I say? I procrastinate. So right now I'm 18 1/2 weeks along and due on May 2. We find out the sex on December 15, which we are both very excited about. I've been feeling good overall. The first trimester I did have some trouble eating but never got sick. Fatigue is what was my biggest problem, so I can't really complain about having to take extra naps! The past few weeks I've been eating better and having more energy which is good. I first felt the baby move on week 17 exactly. It was like 3 little thumps from the inside...weird!

Now here's where I'm conflicted...I'm very excited to be pregnant, but what I'm not excited about it being pregnant and being laid off trying to look for work. Oh well...I do have faith that something will work out. Until next time...
