moving & pregnant!
Jay got a job through the temp agency, but it only lasted a month. Now he's looking again. I got the position in the accounting office and I've been in there since 7/9. I was told it would only be 16-20 hours a week, but I've been getting the same amount of hours I was getting before (about 28). I'm not complaining! I like it in there. It's repetitive, but you're always busy, thus time passes quickly. I'm actually by myself for the first time ever tomorrow and Wednesday. One of the girls is on vacation so they're splitting her hours between me and another co-worker. I also have an interview at Catholic Cha_rities on the 30th. It would be a good second job, doing the kind of work I want to do. I would be working in their resident homes with people with developmental disabilities.
Well, we're moving yet again. It was either move or get evicted. Jay's grandpa died last month, then he lost his job, then I found a load of our laundry in the trash can and Jay went off in the landlady's office. Because Jay didn't hand in his paystubs from when he was working and he has a "rude and threatening manner" they told us we had to turn in his paystubs and have a meeting with them or get evicted. Well, Jay was not about to go back in the office and I didn't want him to either. If they thought he was angry before, what would happen when they intentionally made him angry? So we declined the meeting and they said we were risking our housing. So I asked to get out of the lease. They said they didn't want anyone here who doesn't want to be here or who is threatening. Whatever. So they said, under the circumstances, we can get out of the lease. Yay! Except now I have 9 days and nowhere to go. We were going to stay in the camper at my in-law's, but now they don't want us to. I don't have money for a security deposit because I had to dip into savings to pay rent this month since Jay lost his job. So I can't just go out and get an apartment. Anyway, I can't find one. There's a ton of 1 bdrms and larger ones out of our price range, but that's it. And with it getting down to the wire, I've expanded my search area to include other school districts and still have nothing! Jay's uncle owns property in Lyons and one of his houses and one half-house will be coming open, but that wouldn't be until October 1st. What would I do for September? Well, September is right around the corner and I'm gonna be fucked...
My ultrasound and Jay's semen analysis came back normal. So did our bloodwork with the geneticist. Last month I thought I was pregnant. My period was 10 days late. It's never late. But every test I took was negative and I finally got a blood test done and that was negative too. This month I figured it might be late again so I wasn't paying as much attention to my cycle. Well, I thought I was two days late today and I took a test. It was positive! I went this afternoon for a blood test and it was positive too! I have my first appt. in one week, which is fast, but I'm not complaining. I can't believe that after two years and two miscarriages, it has finally happened again. I'm hoping beyond hope that this is a successful, healthy pregnancy.
God has been opening a lot of doors lately. Every time I think I foresee an obstacle, it becomes nothing when I reach it with Him. So I'm praying for this pregnancy and I'm praying for a new home and I'm praying for my husband to find a job...and I know God hears me.
