A case of the Mondays 😀

High / Low

Hi everyone!! I had my 36 week appointment today which went well. Everything looks good and I'm praying my GBS test comes back negative as I really don't want an IV during labor. Also no dilation/effacement yet but some softening so I'm probably not going anytime soon but who knows. We had an insanely busy weekend so I've been exhausted today and despite an hour nap I still feel totally drained. I know I didn't quite follow the high/low format lol but it's in there I guess. 😜

My boss/owner of the company drove to the project I am PMing. It is 3 hrs away. Oh... and I was sitting in the passenger seat....


yep... my Monday

I gave notice at my current job, and my boss avoided me for most of the day. She gave me a laundry list of projects to complete in the next 8 days. Grrrr!

On the other side, I have a couple days off until I start my new job. Hoping to get some new clothes and go out for lunch with friends.

rosesquared, How are you 36 weeks already?? Time is flying 😀

calsurb, Congrats on the new job! Is it a big change or similar work but different company?

kekaellypula, Lots of small talk?


I've been listening to Maddow in the car. Still find it pretty inspiring! Briefly makes me want to go back to work but then I drop it when I think about leaving M.

It's not too big of a change but it's a 30% raise in salary! More vacation, daycare options, cheaper insurance. It's a total win for our whole family.

calsurb, That's significant! How great!

rosesquared, 36 weeks already! You get to meet your little one soon. So exciting!

kekaellypula, Was that the longest 3 hours of your life? As an introvert I would be exhausted from trying to entertain my boss for that long.

calsurb, Congrats on the new job!

cetcar, I think trying to figure out the job thing after we have this little on is going to be so hard.

We had 4 friends come down from Portland for our shower on Sunday and it was amazing, but we're exhausted! Shower was Sunday, Monday we did Disneyland from 9am-9pm, and yesterday we walked around the cute shops in our neighborhood before they left for the airport at 4pm. 6 people in our 3 bedroom house felt like living in the dorms again.

We got SO much stuff, I'm beyond humbled and grateful for the generosity of our family and friends. Plus we only got a few doubles so we will do a few exchanges and be fully ready for this kid.

JustJudy, So wonderful it sounds like your little girl is loved by so many. Seems like there are many who are excited to welcome her! Um yes, the whole job thing post baby is hard. Personally, I feel so lucky that I get to spend my days with her. But there are days where I feel guilty (self imposed) for not working. Do you think you'll keep working?

JustJudy, cetcar,

The first 3 hours weren't horrible. The 3 hours back were not so much fun. He ended up putting motivational CD's on the radio.... yep

[JustJudy]

cetcar, I have to go back to work, but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to bring her in on days we don't have meetings and/or work from home quite a bit. We shall see.

kekaellypula, Oh man...yikes. :/

Low: had surgery today to repair some things down there. Popped a stitch which then got infected and a stitches that became embedded in tissue.
Found out I have a small 3rd degree tear too, which may need surgical repair too if physio doesn't help.

High: hopefully this heals up nicer now.

dannigirl fingers crossed you'll be on the mend now!!!
