Three day work week! Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I get the day after off, it's a short work week. I worked from home this morning and this afternoon I'm going to help Arthur go shopping for food for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner since we're having it at our house. I'm really excited for the food!
I didn't get a chance to blog yesterday. It was a pretty normal day, nothing out of the ordinary. The good news was that my headache didn't bug me at all during the day, probably because I was able to eat some chocolate and keep it under control. I still didn't take the medication that was prescribed to me, since I really haven't needed it. I'm pretty proud of myself for powering through it and keeping my mind focused on the positive.
I found out this morning that I didn't get the job. I am ok with it, because I was really stressed about how I would have balanced maternity leave with this really stressful position. I feel like my preparation was not like I would have liked it to be, and I think my stress may have shown through. It's ok. I'm going to focus on the positive side, that I didn't have to make a decision and that I can look forward to other opportunities that come up in the next few months. I can also stop stressing about how I would work a new job against my upcoming December schedule. It would have been crazy! I really do like what I do and I'm sad that I feel like I have to look for something different. But unfortunately, I do.
How far along: 6 Weeks, 6 days - 7 weeks tomorrow!!
How much time left: 33 weeks, 1 day
Top two symptoms: Terrible, horrible, no good bloating and nausea. It's dumb that as soon as my headache went away that the bloating dropped in. Ugh!!!
Favorite thing I ate today: A tomato! With salt! It was so good!
Mood: Normal. A little annoyed at my bloating and a little frustrated that I didn't get the job, but overall - I'm ok.
Worried about: Getting my announcement stuff ready before tomorrow and Friday to let my family and Arthur's family know I'm pregnant.
Excited for: Arthur's mom is coming over tonight and I'm excited to make pies with them. I love to eat pie, I'm just not sure how much I will love making them! I'm sure it will be a blast. :)
