looneypumpkin March 23, 2014 Share looneypumpkin GC Board Member March 23, 2014 (edited) Been keeping this quiet for a while. Many of you know I suffered a pregnancy loss back in March 2013. Well I will be 29 weeks pregnant with a little boy on Monday -- March 24th. Everything is going great. I'm looking forward to what is likely my last 4 weeks at work before I deliver. I haven't been around here much because when I'm not working I'm mostly sleeping. The fatigue is constant. I feel almost like a narcoleptic. Hoping to get more gaming in after he's born, but maybe I'm being stupidly optimistic about that. Being our first I'm not sure what to expect. I know I'll be sleep deprived and smelly, but not sure as to what extent. Does L4D2 > shower? I am not sure...maybe. Name will likely be Sebastian Glen. Glen is for my father who passed away. Sebastian just because it's a name my husband and I can agree on. Official due date is June 9th, but I expect to pop anytime from late May. I am having some blood pressure issues so my OB thinks I'll deliver early, but who knows. Every week from here on out that I carry is a blessing. I'm still undecided if I'll go back to work or not. I absolutely hate my job most days -- working with the public is a disgusting and depressing thing at times and after 10yrs I'm rethinking going back to school for something worthwhile that I enjoy. We refinanced my car this morning, so that'll allow me to quit completely if I want to. Anyway, for those who care that's what's been going on with me Edited March 23, 2014 by looneypumpkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samurai nightling March 25, 2014 Share samurai nightling Member March 25, 2014 Congrats! Yeah your gaming will most likely take a pretty big hit, I know mine has. However if you choose not to work at all, that could help a lot with having some free time to game on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneypumpkin March 25, 2014 Author Share looneypumpkin GC Board Member March 25, 2014 Yeah we are good financially to stay at home, but I hate not being able to add to savings/take on projects. Not to mention it being really scary to have had 2 incomes for nearly 10yrs and suddenly go down to one. I really wanted a kitchen remodel or a move into a bigger house. But that's gonna have to likely wait a few years. I'm trying to train myself to be more frugal as we have wasted a lot of money over the years on conveniences. I did have a lengthy talk with my boss and he completely understands if I don't make up my mind until the last day of my maternity leave, so at least he's not pressuring me for an answer yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
