So, this week has just downright sucked! (For the most part)
LONG story short-The company that I work for (and love) purchased another forklift dealership that was going belly up in the Carolinas (my companies headquarters is in Charlotte).
The brand of lift that they now represent is NOT caterpillar. The big deal is that in Roanoke, we can't represent this brand because it is already represented. The short of this is......My branch will no longer be part of the company that I CURRENTLY work for. Which I hate-because I like the company that I work for.
ANYWAY-Needless to say, the new came in this week in the form of a REALLY crappy divisional call. It was hard to hear/understand and comprehend. Anyway-It was EMOTIONAL for all of us. It's not just the company that I like, I have become "family" with MANY of the people that work in the other branches-From CHarlotte, to Monroe, Hickory, Greenville & others. It's HARD to know that I won't be working with these people anymore.
In the stress of all of this, I successfully stressed myself RIGHT to the doctor on Thursday!
It wasn't a big deal and there was no reason to announce or worry and friends or family-I was just feeling a lot of stress @ work and had a few "issues" that made me feel like it was necessary to go to the doctor.
Thankfully, my DR is wonderful and was really supportive of my feelings. She did all of the testing that she knew would make me feel better to know was all fine.
AS OF THURSDAY-Bean had a strong heartbeat and my"pains" were determined pretty normal. The funny thing is-not only does every small pain WORRY me right now, I am experiencing pains during this pregnancy that I never felt in the 3 previous. So, they do make me worry a little more than normal. I was told that I do need to take it easier, rest more, take tylenol when I get pains and just try to relax.
Newest annoyance.....When People say to me "well, you're out of the normal worry period of the 1st trimester, your risk is SO low now to lose the baby".
Wow, REALLY?! Last time I checked, I was 20 weeks and 2 days along with the twins. The "1st trimester statistic" went OUT THE WINDOW during that pregnancy!
In the last 2-3 weeks, several of the woman I know that got pregnant or ANNOUNCED their pregnancies around the time i lost the twins, have had their babies. I am OVERJOYED for their new additions-several of them as 1st time parents. However, I will not lie to say it's been hard also to hear of their "healthy deliveries" and their beautiful babies carried to term. Yes, I am pregnant again, but it's so hard still to fully wrap my head around a full term, healthy pregnancy!
On a happy note-MOST of the room was done today-There are just a few smaller details left to do. Cris is doing a great job with it. It will probably still be another month or so before it's COMPLETELY done-but a BIG step was done today-the outside wall facing the living room, no longer looks like an unfinished wall!
