Just stuff

Well I started my new job on the 1st. They have crazy training, but I should be finished and able to start actually working the 12th or the 15th. But really I would rather have excess training than not enough like at my last job.
I am so excited about this company I am working for now. They have so many benefits and perks (IVF Coverage, EE Discounts on cell phone coverage, and lots more stuff).
My boss is really nice. I was sitting with her yesterday going over some stuff (she was kind of quizzing me to see how I was catching on) and we were talking about stuff and I said something about not wanting to talk badly about my last company since they were so good to me when we lost Cadynce, and we got off on a whole tangent. It turns out she has had recurrent losses. Lost a son in the 2nd trimester with a cerclage, then went on to have a TAC, then got pregnant again with IF treatments, waters broke at 20 weeks and was in the hospital on complete bed rest, at 24 wk 5 days the baby had no AmF left so they did a c-sect. her daughter was in the NICU for 4 months, but it a healthy normal 3 year old now.
I told her about Cady and how we have to do IVF and she was SOOO excited for me when I told her that we were planning on doing IVF again. She told me to absolutely not worry about missing time when we are ready to try again! I can make up being late for appointments and work from home when on bed rest after transfer and everything. Can I just tell you I feel so blessed and KNOW I made the right decision with which job offer I accepted. And I hate (as I know most of you do too!!!) being told everything happens for a reason, but in this instance I totally believe it is true.
2009 and 2010 have been very trying years for me and Chris, he lost his job, we did IVF got pregnant with twins, lost Twin B, Lost Cadynce at 20 weeks, think I kind of lost my mind for a while, FET which turned into a blighted ovum, my grandfather got really sick and had to have ½ of his right lung removed and he is still struggling to get well, FET which resulted in a miscarriage at 7 weeks, lost my job in august. But I feel like things have turned a corner now and 2011 will be a better, no an excellent year. (sorry for that big run-on sentence lol)
And this is really long so I will stop now! Have a great rest of the week!
Oh and I am going to be doing a give-away!!!!!!!!!!!! Just have to take the time to type out the post!

Allison! What great news! What a weight lifted to know that you boss really does get it and is willing to be so accommodating! So very sad for both of you that loss is what has made you connect well but knowing that you have your boss in your corner will do wonders in all aspects!

I hope that 2011 brings you everything you are wishing for... and more! ;)
