September 2009: The Obstacle

With all this planning, I lost my job. I did not want to worry about being pregnant looking for a job, so we put our plans on hold. I loved unemployment for the most part, in fact, in the weeks leading up to my eventual dismissal, I created excel spreadsheets (you’re seeing a trend, aren’t you?) that mapped out how I would spend my day. Lots of exercise – running, yoga, Baci time, cooking, and of course, looking for a new job. In fact, the only reason I wanted a job was that I could proceed with my baby making plans. So, I was pretty upset at having to delay trying to conceive.
