Finally some GOOD news

I don't think anyone from this board has me added on Facebook, and I forget sometimes that when I post here its mostly OH NO and UGH...so I wanted to update with the positives for a change!

1. I finally had some relief yesterday. The suppositories helped move things along, only took two of them. Doc wants me moving once a day, and nothing yet today so will keep an eye on things. Been increasing my fluids to help. Pain has subsided slightly, I am at work and functioning so thats a plus.

2. Speaking of work, after a lot of research and a lot of crying myself to sleep and talking with DH we have a plan. A plan to get me out of here, and home with my babies AND in an ok place financially. My DH will be completing his nursing program over the next few years, and instead of me waiting and working while he does the pre-reqs he is going to get CNA certified, and do that at our local hospital (pays equal to what I make if you take away the LARGE gas bill I am paying each week). He will work on his courses, and that will give me time home with the kids and time to finish my own degree program (will be done in October). When his nursing program wait list is up, the littlest of my young ones(this baby) should be about two, and I can re-evaluate using my education and reentering workforce in a better emotional state, and he can finish his program up.

So how does it help me now? Well, the course he is taking is 6 weeks. My OB wants to put me on leave sooner rather than later (my body and stress don't get along) so if he can approve me to be on paid leave, I can be home with my daughter while my husband completes the CNA program. It also gives him time to find a job once completing. So in theory I could be done with the present stressor (my job) sooner than planned!

My mom told me to write the plan down so I don't forget anything LOL

I'm glad you talked to him and worked something out.  Don't bottle things up...especially important things like this...it's not good for you because of the stress...but worse for your relationship. 

I hope everything works out as planned.

I'm glad things seem to be moving in the right direction for you (:) pun intended)...

Good luck on all of it and I hope you have a very uneventful rest of your pregnancy.

That sounds great!!! Good luck!! You can do it!!!!! :)

Good! Things are rolling in the right direction. I am glad you will get to stay home with your family & not be so stressed.

Wow, that is wonderful news!  So happy for you! :)

I am so happy that you were able to work this out! Good luck and I am sure now you will feel less stress!

That's really good news that you have a plan and are moving foward with it.  I'm sure just the process of putting together the plan really helped with the stress level knowing there's a real light at the end of the tunnel.

I literally danced all weekend knowing I had a way out of that place. Dr. just called and said he would place me on my FMLA as of this week so I can officially get a break from that place while DH gets his school done and has time to find a job. Good thing tax return is coming, and we have a good savings so we'll be fine during the transition.

I feel SO much better already

wow... that's great news!
