"We are having a baby". That is the most exciting thing I could ever say. Ben and I have wanted a baby since we got married and things just never worked out. We went through all sorts of fertility treatments and time and time again... we were disappointed.
This is my blog to document things through my pregnancy and so on... I may be very open about things in this blog (some things may not be so appropriate or lady like), so if you are easily offended... PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS! This will be the place I can go to share my thoughts, feelings and experiences.
So in June, I started interviewing for jobs in Austin, TX. We decided that we really like Austin and wanted to relocate. The job interview process was great, but stressful. I was happy with my job in Mississippi, but needed some changes in my life. Two people in my office had babies just a couple of months apart. Being in such a small office, it was hard for me when I wanted my own little one so much. I was so happy for my coworkers, really... I was, but I was sad for myself.
After being with the same company for six years, I felt that I was ready for a change and wanted to learn new things about being a recruiter. To make a long story short, I interviewed with my new company here in Austin on June 23 over the phone then I flew to Austin that weekend and had face to face meetings on June 26th and 27th. On Monday, June 28th... Ben and I made our little baby... I guess we were celebrating how well I thought the interview went... who knows
Well...actually, I do know... this is what I remember... I thought that Netflix sent me the wrong movie in the mail. I got very upset about it. I suppose I was just under a lot of stress at this time, so I threw the damn disc down, began cursing the Netflix people out (although I know they couldn't hear me... the neighbors probably did) and then my sweet husband said something cute and we ended up making our little one... HELL.... I should have thrown a fit like that years ago... would've saved us some money on fertility treatments!
I was offered the position with my new company and I accepted! :) I quit my job and we leased our home in Mississippi to a wonderful couple!I then drove back to Austin with my mother in law to pay a deposit on a duplex for Ben and me.
I arrived back to Mississippi and on Monday morning I realized that I was late. I took a test on Monday afternoon, thinking that it would be negative because IT WAS ALWAYS NEGATIVE and the doctors pretty much told me that I probably couldn't get pregnant.
So.... I took the test and it read, "PREGNANT"!!!!!!!! I walked out of the bathroom into our bedroom and told Ben immediately. HE WAS SO HAPPY!!!!!!!
Ben quit his job and on we moved to Austin on August 20th, 2010. So... here we are... we are in a new state, new city, new apartment, we have new jobs, making new friends and WE HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY!
