yes, it has been a while since I posted anything here. I've had friends contacting me asking if I was OK, which I am but things have been a bit hectic to say the least and a lot has happened in the last few weeks!
The good news:
Our family will welcome a new member in May 2009 as I am now 4 months pregnant! We went for the first scan at the hospital on 30th October, and Baby K was 6cm long and seemed very active in there, I think (s)he has already taken on cycling!
I have been suffering from morning sickness a bit, and been a bit tired, which is very frustrating for me as I am quite active and like doing stuff all the time, and I find it difficult to rest.
So, back when we found out we were pregnant I was told to avoid stress, which leads me to the other piece of news.
The bad news:
I received a letter on 24th October telling me I was going to be made redundant. Great timing to find a new job when you're pregnant! So I have been extremely busy sending CVs, letters, having phone interviews, and attending face-to-face interviews, sometimes over 100miles away from home! This has been quite tiring and stressful, but I must say in all modesty that I have been doing very well at interviews.
The good news:
So well indeed that a company made the decision to give me the job within 48h of interviewing me! This company was also the only one whom I had told I was pregnant, so it is really positive. I have not accepted their offer yet as another company seems very interested in hiring me too, so I will try to obtain some more information on both and see which one would work better for me. Both know I am pregnant. Job A would involve me working from home + travelling, job B would involve me walking 10min to the office + travelling, so they would both be very convenient. I have a slight preference and so does Trave, but I am keeping this for myself until I have a signed contract in my hand. And possibly something even better will turn up by then, who knows? I have another 4 interviews next week.
So, let's hope I have a job very soon...
