Sometimes It’s Nice To Hear A Little Praise October 16, 2008

Last night as my husband was rubbing my aching back, he began to tell me how much he admired me.  I asked him why, and he said it was because I had worked through my entire pregnancy.  To fill you in a little, I was horribly sick all day, every day until I was 16 weeks along.  I only left early one day because I couldn’t keep anything down that day.  I have been fortunate to be able to work through my pregnancy, but also have not had much of a choice.  I carry my insurance through work, and would really like to have that coverage for my little girl’s delivery.  When I explained this to my husband, he still said he admired me for going to work every day because he knew it was difficult for me.  It really made me feel good to know that he noticed me working hard even through being tired, cranky, and sick.  It also made me feel like I was doing the right thing by continuing to work as long as I can.  Sometimes it is just nice to hear a little praise from someone!

 

Why Is It So Hard To Sit At Work? October 9, 2008

Filed under: ramblings — journeytostayathome @ 2:58 pm

Yesterday was a very tough day.  I sat at work all day with nothing to do.  Days like that are so hard for me because my mind thinks of all the things that I could be accomplishing at home to get ready for my baby’s arrival.  I know there is a reason for me to be working right now because I have my insurance through my job, and I need it to cover my medical expenses to have my baby; however, it is still hard to sit at my desk some days with nothing to do!  Hopefully, this time will make me really appreciate the time I get to be home with my baby!!
