Can't Think Of A Title

Today is Family Day here in Ontario and I've certainly been enjoying this long weekend. I love being at home with my family.

Saturday afternoon Jordan and I napped together. She waited for me to get all fixed with my pillows and then just melted against me and fell asleep. I think I fell even more in love with her. We slept like that for three hours! Everyone needs a 2 (almost 3!) year old!

I had my follow up ultrasound last Wednesday. I was so excited to see Little Dude one last time before his birthday. It was my luck that I got the Wicked Witch of the West as my technician who wouldn't tell me anything. I asked if she could confirm the gender and was told "I don't think Ivanna would have written it down if she wasn't completely sure" in this really snotty tone. I asked if she could bring Ian in at the end to see him and she said "Uhh... did he not come with you two weeks ago?" RAWR! She even gave me a hard time when I asked for a picture. "Nothing much has changed from two weeks ago, so you don't need one." At this point I told her that I did want it, and would be paying for it just as I did last time. She never took one, saying she couldn't get a good view.

I was so cross and disappointed I just wanted to cry. Or punch her. I did neither.

My dear friend at my temp placement quit her job on Wednesday. While I knew she wasn't happy there, I had no idea she was that close to leaving. She is going to a much better position so I'm happy for her, but I sure will miss her tomorrow. She is a Christian as well, and we've enjoyed several deep discussions and often pray for one another.

Her departure opened up a position for me to stay longer. Apparently the VP of Finance wanted to hire me on full-time which would require "buying" me from the agency, which would cost several thousand dollars. They aren't going to do that since I am pregnant, but he did ask if I would stay on until my mat leave. I felt very flattered and very grateful. I trained with my friend on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and I'm on my own tomorrow.

I've been a very boring blogger lately. I don't have a lot of energy or creativity to share these days. Maybe it's just life preparing me for the business of four children. I'm also struggling with a lot of different emotions of late but trying to figure out what is real and what is just made worse by hormones, and trying to pray through it all. I don't like being a downer or negative on my blog, and so I prefer to just wait until I have something of interest to share.

  2. Wow. She needed to take some nice medicine or something. Yeesh. Who peed in her cheerios anyways.

    Family Day? How come we can't have a holiday called Family Day? Oh wait, we can just use President's Day for that :)

    Sorry your stuggling with your emotions. Sometimes being female isn't so much fun.
