What a Day

Yesterday was kind of a stressful day to deal with. I am glad it is over. I got a call from my mom first thing in the morning to let me know that my Dad got let go from his job of 25+ years. The company is not doing good so had to let a lot of people go. My dad had a false hope that his job was secure and that he wouldn't be in the bunch but of course he was. He was nearing retirement. My parents will do OK financially because he can get unemployment but they lost health insurance. My mom is working a temp job that could turn permanent. I just know my dad is happy to be let go because the job was very stressful for him and he hated it anymore. He said he slept better last night than he ever has. He is 1 1/2 yrs away from retiring.
Later in the day I got a call from my OB GYN's office. They got blood results back from my last labs and I have Group B Strep bacteria in my urine so they are treating me with penicillin. I am probably going to have to keep getting treated with it and then through an IV during birth and Gracie will have to be on one to after she is born. Please pray that it doesn't affect her in anyway and that the antibiotics will keep her safe. I have to admit my faith was shaken a little by what I read about it online. I am one of these types of people that have to read everything about everything and then I scare myself.
I went for my last fetal echo cardiogram today and her heart looks healthy. Praise God.
I don't know if I had told you all but I actually had gone 2 weeks without getting sick and unfortunately it started again last night and then this morning. It was too good to be true.
She is a very very active baby and I think she is gonna be a future gymnast with all those flips she likes to do. Sometimes I am like... Baby girl please calm down.
Not much else going on. My new neighbors from my church moved in downstairs and I am really excited about that. They just had a little boy about 2 weeks ago. It will be so nice to have another stay at home mom around.

I had srep with Christopher and got treatment during birth. NO big deal. Stop reading, it will only drive you nuts and every person is different. Hang in there!

"I am one of these types of people that have to read everything about everything and then I scare myself." The very worse thing you can do!!! Just read what God has to say about you in His book :o)

What a bummer about your dad. Business is so heartless but our God is faithful.
