13 Weeks and 3 Days




Well a few people had e-mailed and asked for some belly shots so here ya go!

Ugh - indigestion has hit me BIG TIME the last few days. Keeps me up at night...oh let the fun begin! My Mom said it bothered her the whole 6 months and apparently it's gonna be the same for me.

I am actually a bit frustrated with the whole work situation and mad at myself that I didn't stay in my previous position...had I known I was going to be pregnant I would still be there. Had I known a month sooner that I was pregnant - I would NEVER HAVE APPLIED for EI...how big did I screw up - BIG -HUGE ...DANG IT! I have to accumulate 600 hours or else I will not be getting maternity leave and well...it looks like there is a big possibility that I will not get those hours. Temp work is NOT keeping me nearly as busy as I need to be and NOBODY will hire a pregnant person. I loved the lady's response today "oh I am sorry dear, but it will take 3-4 months to train you and then you would be on maternity leave so it really wouldn't be a good idea for me to do that" This for a RECEPTIONIST position in a frigin chiropractic clinic. 3-4 months for training - give me a break!
I went for another interview at a dental clinic and the lady said I would be a good fit but she was uncomfortable with my being pregnant and being off work in a few months.
I am so frustrated and mad at myself and disappointed that I can't find work and that I screwed this up.

Don't be so down hearted Carrie, perhaps this is your destiny, after all, it is not in your hands to decide, RIGHT?

Things look like they're coming along just fine, sweetheart, don't worry, that just causes stress which starts the vicious circle of more stress etc.

Things will work out, and Mark will be gainfully employed earning permanently good money, to look after the 3 of you.

Hey,
First off..you look awesome!!
And you know what, don't ever look at your life as in screwing up, or making the wrong decisions... WE can lay out somewhat of a plan in this life, but for the most part, its already laid out, and every decision we make, or do not make, tends to lead us in a direction we may have never anticipated.

I was always one to worry, get hyped up about things not working out, and getting frustrated. But I've stepped back and looked at my life, nad realized, out of every negative thing, 2 positives have resulted. Just make the best of what you have, move forward, and stay positive.
And damn girl, you are pregnant! ENJOY IT!
