News - good, bad, ugly

Hmm, where shall I start?!?!

Bad/Ugly - I didn't get the job at DOT that I was so hoping to get. This means my casual work here wtih NBCC will end November/December and I'll be done work until after baby and maternity leave until I find another job. In reality maybe it's a good thing too, give me lots of time to prepare. But then what do I do about Unemployment. I doubt anyone will hire me for a month or two with a big belly! So maybe my doc will work with me and give me a sick note?!?!? That way I don't have to dig into my maternity leave before hand. Fingers crossed for me.

Good - Wes got into school!!! Fully funded by Depart of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour!! He starts on Monday. He's been working in colaboration with Career Flight in order to get the funding since early July due to his disability (shoulder). So Wes starts at Academy of Learning in Office and Business Skills on Monday, September 24!! I'm sooo very proud of him! He had to do a lot of work in order to get this!

I think that's my news so far. Oh yeah, we registered at Walmart last night. It was fun!! So if we decided to buy more stuff, we'll just take it off there. One thing I do want that is not there is a Bumbo chair and also one of those half moon pillows for breastfeeding.

That's it for now!

It's our 2 year anniversary this coming Monday!! Imagine, 2 years already! I took Friday off, so we may head to Moncton to get away for the day. Maybe Julie will have had little Cassandra by then and we can visit both of them!!!

Hey Arrah,

I was just reading your blog, seems like the pregnancy is progressing well. I'm sure things will fall into place with respect to the job. Take care mommy

hey hon...well you can go on maternity leave 11 weeks prior to your due date and if you can get a docter's note...which is pretty easy to get when you are pregnant you can get ( i think ) 14 weeks sick leave...so that gives you 25weeks off prior to bringing that little angel into the world.....but seriously...you doctor should not give you a hard time about the sick paper...god I could have had one from day one becasue I work with aggressive youth.....so things should work out for you..besides....keep applying for jobs because they are not aloud to descriminate against you due to being pregnant....stay healthy and smile...because we love you..and congrats to the man.....
have a good day monday!!...
love ya..
PS..the only place you can get a bumbo chair is at Toys' r us...too bad you couldn't get your hands on a second hard one...but anyhoots..they have them at toys r us..

Dont worry about work and EI focus on baby and all will work out!
Also.....dont worry about buying things....I think we discused before that everyone LOVES to buy for babies plus really all you need is a place to sleep and sleepers for the first while!! take care
