So today is not only a day I have been so excited about for weeks now, but also a day I have been dreading as well. Today was my interim 3 month review. I have my final review in another 3 months. So they planned it for first thing this morning, and I have to admit I am still obviously trying to get over it. I even prepared myself for the worst. There were no praises, not one, just complaints. They said never in the history of any 3 month review has anyone used personal time or vacation time or sick time before. First of all that shocked me because its not like I was taking it off for fun, Lylia was sick twice. So dumb. Then she of course had to comment on me taking a half day today off for my ultrasound. I don't even care if she thinks that is bad. ITS NOT!!! Also I've been late to work twice (15 minutes once and 5 minutes the other) and so that was a big deal of course. That was the gist of it, nothing actually work related which makes me laugh. Why don't they see that if they have no actual work complaints that maybe the other stuff doesn't affect my ability to do a good job or affect the university in any way. Oh well, I'll get over it. No one likes to get in trouble right?! Well I am just trying to get past it so I can enjoy my half day today. Think positive. I get to find out what bundle of joy I am having. And then we get to buy one outfit! This baby truly is a huge blessing to me. For more than one reason, but the biggest being that I get to be a stay at home mom in 21 weeks, and I couldn't be more thrilled! I truly hate this work drama, where I feel like all that people care about is work, and nothing else. I must be crazy for thinking that 3 hours a night is not enough time to enjoy life. I hate the being in one place for 8 hours of my day, and then on the occasional Saturday. Working has made me see that life is so much more. I know we aren't supposed to sit idle in life, but I certainly don't understand how you cant work and enjoy life all at the same time, by allowing people to take time off when they need to, and allowing their family to come and see them for a few minutes. It is just so dumb.
Yet again this baby although I thought it was bad timing, is the best timing in the world! I thank Heavenly Father for giving me this break to be home with my babies! I don't take it for granted.
Check back later to find out what we are having!

What grinches. Don't even worry about what they said. Just keep doing your best and moving forward. Especially today of all days, let it roll of your back and focus on the exciting news to come, can't wait!!
p.s. just right now I have a premonition that it's a girl...we'll see if I'm right or wrong!
I am sorry. I am glad you won't have to work there much longer. Hopefully you can just make it til the baby gets here.
I am excited to find out about the baby!
