Reconnecting

An old friend posted on Facebook a few days ago that she is pregnant.  She is due 8 days before me.  I contacted her on Facebook and then we met up tonight and went for a 2 mile walk.  It was really nice to talk to her again and catch up.  And it's nice to have a walking buddy since my other friend has been super busy with work these days.  We're going walking again tomorrow!  It will be fun to have someone that is pregnant too to share experiences with. 

In other news, my OB's office initially did not want to see me for 7 weeks.  I would be 16 weeks by that time!  My RE's nurse said that didn't sound right and I should be seen sooner.  I was nervous too since I've had zero pregnancy education.  I'm super good at all of the trying to get pregnant stuff, but I know nothing about being pregnant!  I called and got them to switch the appointment to Oct 23!  WOOT!  Much better. 

I told my boss today.  She was very happy for me, which was nice.  She also told me about the sick leave bank (she is on the committee) that might be able to help with the few days that I'm going to be short on vacation/sick time to make it to 6 weeks off.  I'd ultimately like to take 8 weeks, so we'll see.  It still makes me sad to think about the 14 weeks of sick time that I left at my old job, but I know I have a much better quality of life with the change and will have way more time for a baby and having a family.  I also went into my old office today and talked to my old boss.  Told her too and she was BEYOND excited.  She said she always thought that as soon as I left it would happen.  She was right!  She knew about our IF and treatments and has always been supportive.  I appreciate so much how even though me leaving sucked (still sucks) for her, she is so happy for me doing what I needed to do for myself.  Good lady right there :)
