Lorelei's Announcement

I've had a difficult few weeks (maybe even a couple of months). Last February I took a risk and quit my full time job to work a contract gig, in an attempt to learn more of my role, specially 401(k) plan management (boring I know!).

Well I was maybe a little too confident, and wasn't expecting to get pregnant again so fast, and it has kind of bitten me in the ass.

I've had months of interviews and job hunting with nothing to show for it. Luckily my contract has been extended through December, but that doesn't even bring me up to my maternity leave start date.

Anyway, I am trying to remain calm and have faith that things happen for a reason and everything will work out in the end... possibly just not the way I imagined it.  (VERY difficult for me to swallow being a total control freak)

The point is, because of this situation, we weren't able to announce my pregnancy, mainly because I didn't want someone from work knowing. Finally it is beyond the point where I can hide it, so we decided to go for it.

And here is the photo:

Very happy to be out of the pregnancy closet!
