Welcome, Braxton Hicks (29 weeks)

It seems that Braxton Hicks would like to join this wonderful pregnancy party and has made himself well known starting last week. Let the false labor pains begin. This is new for me; I did not experience this with Jeff. And might I add that sitting at work for 8 hours/day does not help the situation. By the way, my employer will not allow me to go to a part-time schedule (my last post mentioned that my doctor recommended that I work 6 hrs/day). The only option I was given was to start dipping in to the 12 weeks FMLA to make up the 2 hours/day that I would be out. And that would add up to a whopping 3 weeks that I would use before our baby even entered this world. Are they crazy?!! Yes, that's what I pretty much told them....they are crazy. I turned down the option. Thank you God for giving me the strength and wisdom to hold my tongue and resist the urgency to just quit this job all together. (There have been previous experiences that were added in to that equation of throwing in the towel...but we won't go there).

Anyway, I've been trying to get up more and even take walks during my break. So far it has brought on some relief. :)

Shane has seemed to enjoy his part-time job and I am so thankful that I have such a wonderful husband who is willing to go that extra mile to take care of his family. He is such a hard worker and hopefully something more will come of this opportunity for him.

Blessings to everyone,
Misty
