The good news is that Mark and I are expecting our first child in January, and are planning to get married later on in the spring, possibly June. We had planned to marry first, but the baby news surprised us.
The bad news is, the moment I told my manager, she made my life hell at work, was bullying me and refusing to help me (like lifting heavy objects) though she assured her own manager that I would never lift heavy things and I would always have help. It was a long string of little incidents of harassment and favouring the other people in the office, including doing several big favours for the lassie hired on the same day as myself. So, I was signed off work by my GP for stress and depression, and handed in my one week notice. I can now rest whenever I feel like it, but I am waiting for the ?black cloud? to lift. It would be nice, for example, to feel like making a quilt.
I have my 12-week scan tomorrow, and will have a better idea of the due date and all the tests they will want to do then. I?ve had terrible morning sickness for the last 2 months, and have actually lost weight, not gained weight, so let?s hope the next trimester is better!
