Pregnancy after D&C

Girly im so sorry that you are going through this especially now but you know things happen for a reason. I think there is a better job out there waiting for you. Big hugs hunny!

Lucy how you feeling? Not long to go til you go on holiday.

Esmari - hang in there. We all go through tough patches but hopefully things work out.

AFM - feeling very sad today. I got a message this morning to say that my aunt has gone into a coma and this morning my Grandpa received a message from the hospital to come there as they dont think that she'll survive the day. I havent heard anything more. I hope it happens soon as she has suffered so much.

I will chat to you later friends

Hey girls.

Here are some pics of Sal's Shane. He is the most cutest little thing. She is doing well, having some issues with Shane and colic. She was going to take him to the paed today for some advice.

Anyhoo...here he is

Oh Girly what bad timing. I am so sorry my friend. Perhaps the silver lining is that you'll have ML to find a job so you won't have to take the first job that comes along. Perhaps it will help you get the RIGHT job so that you can be happier/ closer to home/ decently paid/ more time for Kaylee etc etc
This can't be easy for you (and DH) I am thinking of you - Take care of yourself!

hi Girly
The same thing happened to me and the end result (after much angst even though I was SICK of the place!) was the job I'm in now which is at the most senior level I've ever been (a global job) and the most I've ever been paid...soooo...I think the same thing will be true for you! I have no doubt that you will go on to bigger and better things! I can imagine with the PG hormones it's NOT easy. Try not to take it personally and just say cheers thanks for the cash, I'll be focussing on baba for now and next year I'll be fighting fit to find the best job for me possible!
You can do it! Often in retrenchments the best people are lost - fact. I know you can turn this into a positive. Stay strong! With your attitude and empathy and insight and intelligence I'd hire you in a second!

So an update on my job - I am just pasting from August moms here...

- some of you might remember that about 2 months ago I was told they might close up SA office and take over the work from the UK. We've been waiting patiently to hear, and esp now that I need to apply for Maternity etc I was getting frustrated as they just never came back.
Well yesterday I was given a notice of intended retrenchment. Even though I was expecting it, it has come as quite a blow considering that I want to start ML in 2.5 weeks time.
They have offered a fairly acceptable package considering that which is required by law is peanuts, but they know well that the timing they cant really offer me the minimum. I will probably not be fighting them because at least I dont have to worry about cash during M/L and I am so tired of it all, been there 8 yrs now and need a change. Its just the prospect of going on m/l jobless, and knowing that I will have to find a job next year probably in a lower earning bracket scares me some.
Pregnancy hormones dont help, I am very emotional about it all. Makes me doubt my worth if I start somewhere else.
But I know that this is all in the Lord's will, and that He will not forsake us. But to try get my emotions in control now so that I can just rest is a bit challenging.
I am praying that I can find something that's closer to home / allows me more time as a mother, but that doesnt effect our living style. DH starts his job 1 Aug, and will be on 6months probation at the same time.

So ja. I would finish there 30th July - but probably ask for a few days off so that I can have time at home relaxing. I'm just so tired physically, thankfully boss allowing me to stay off today. I cant face the people at the office right now. I dont like being emotional around colleagues.
Exciting times ahead!

Hi girls

Shazz its so nice to see you online again
Esmari you make me tired!
I think being a SAHM to 2 kids can be a huge job. You start feeling like a maid I'm sure!
Cant you get someone to come in a few days a week, and find yourself a part time job away from home? That way you can afford the person, and even if you dont bring back big money, you'll have something to call your own away from home?
Have you applied for M/Aid yet? I'd get that out the way so that your budget can adjust and get used to it. Even if you only pay R50 extra towards your debts that's something right?
But asking for everything to be settled is like asking for a white picked fence and suburban and have a perfect life before you have another one. Life doesnt happen like that for most.

Lucy holding thumbs as always I am super excited for you!

Nunu's mom hey hey Not long for you now hey! What's the latest estimate? When is your next scan?

Lucy we must make a plan! its been to long already! Enjoy the holiday if i dont speak to you again.

Esmari you go girl!

Afm im sad because i did not win the 75 mil on the power ball last night, hehehe
