Samarella's Journal

Feeling real...

Wow amazing how seeing my little one tucked safe and sound moving all around makes things feel so real.. 17 p shots started... Only 19 more to go. Had a chat with my boss (stepmom) about the plans to make it through the summer. I work at a restaurant where in the summer it 100+ degrees. The concerns about bed rest and covering management shift were the main topic, basically within the month I will step down as a manager and go back to part time serving. I'm very much okay with this as the managing shift hour are much longer and late nights. In September when we layoff for slow season I will volunteerly take a layoff! So I can be home for the remainder of the pregnancy and the first 3 months of our little mans life. This will still allow an income to come in since it's considered a layoff due to lack of business! I'm relieved that this was brought up from her end because I was worried about how I was going to approach it. So glad we are all on the same page. Well its way past my nap time. Not getting full nights sleep due to trips to the bathroom is really cutting into my beauty sleep, so I nap a lot! Lol! Hope everyone's doing well love you all! Only 165 days till my due date!

  • I'm so glad that you were able to have that conversation and have that plan already in place.  That's got to feel good.  Less worry, less stress.  Ouch on the shots, but so worth it.  So excited for you and love to read updates:)

    Keep up the good growing!
