I am so excited to be able to say that at any time, I can have a baby. It still doesn't seem real, but soon enough I'm sure it will.
I'm happy to report that I am no longer suffering from whatever I had, although I still have a really mild lingering cough, and also I got the unemployment situation figured out...just in time for something else to come up. Apparently, I was "randomly selected" to go to some Nevada Job Connect office, have my skills looked at, and I have to fill out some work sheet and also bring a log of the jobs I've applied for. The date for all of this is December 9, which is scary close to my due date, of course meaning I could either be massively pregnant still, in the hospital, or home with a very young newborn; all of which are less than desireable situations for going to this thing. So, I'm at a loss for what to do. They don't know I'm pregnant because it is a confidential medical thing that they don't need to know that, but clearly, there's about a 99% chance I can't show up that day. So what do I do? Pretend I didn't get the letter? Call in the morning and say "I can't show up that day because my baby is due that week", play it by ear..? I really don't know. I was planning on just sleeping on it tonight (which doesn't seem to want to happen since it's 1am and I'm not even that tired) so I guess I can see how I feel about it in the morning. This just really sucks. Why me, can't they just leave me alone in peace?
On a much happier note, my daughter's nursery, dare I say it, is just about done. Everything for the most part is in it's place, and I just need to get some rubbing alcohol and q tips. Oh, and a humidifier. Her nursery is adorable. I want to live in there. I'll take pics once it is completely done, meaning the little teeny things scattered are out of there. I got her a head and neck support thing for her car seat, which I want for myself...it is so soft, and a JJ Cole bundle me. So, she's going to be supported and warm in her car seat. I got those window shades too, a little hamper and a lamp. Thank you babies r us for faithfully sending me coupons, and for having a gigantic clearance.
So basically, as I have 23 days until my baby is due, I'm just trying to stay busy, hence my almost daily trips to various places (gets me out of the house). But, I feel like things just aren't falling into place like I hoped they naturally would before baby comes. I have all of these issues with unemployment that are making it hard for me to just relax and enjoy the final days/weeks of my first pregnancy. My husband tells me to think positively, but it's a little hard. I don't want to lose my benefits. I didn't do anything to deserve this, I've worked hard since I was 17, and not once have I cheated the government or lived off of it! Plus, the Nevada Division of Unemployment needs to learn that if there really were jobs out there, we wouldn't have a 14% unemployment rating., I also feel like I'm missing an essential baby item but I can't quite put my finger on it. I think that's just a thought, I can't possibly be missing anything.
So, if you're reading this (not sure who does or doesn't) then PLEASE pray that everything works out for the best, a safe and healthy delivery, and that the unemployment works out.

Oh no...I can't believe all of this is happening! Did you decide what you were going to do? For unemployment, you have to go. Failure to do what they ask on Job Connect can suspend your benefits.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it will all work out and fall into place. If you need anything, let me know. Did you ever figure out what you were missing? For the first four weeks of Addison's life, we made a trip to Babies R Us about every other day! Trust me...you will just think of something else you will need and you will be doing the same! Kinda good tho so you can get out of the house. I went through cabin fever with her...I know they say stay in for the first few weeks, but trust me, you need to get out!!! You will go crazy if you don't.
