SAHM...Sort of

Yesterday was a tough day in the Ervick house. My company made an announcement about a month ago that they were going to be doing layoffs and yesterday was the big announcement day. I was one of the 1400 people that were laid off. Over the past month I have thought about whether or not I wanted to keep my job and travel for training the last few weeks before I deliver or if I wanted to get laid off and take the severance and just relax. I am not sure I ever really came up with an answer. Even though I have only been with the company for a year, it is hard to give up on something that you have worked for and have done well in. Unfortunately job title and geography had a lot to do with the decision and that is not something I can control. So yesterday the decision was made for me. I admit I was sad at first, but then I began to see the bright side. Now I get paid to relax and get ready for my baby boy and once he is born I will get time with him that I would not have gotten if I was working. Jeff has been awesome through this whole ordeal and I couldn't have asked for a more supportive husband. I suppose this is just one of those times when God has a plan and you have to sit back and wait to see how it plays out. Hopefully next year I will find a job that is perfect for me and my growing family.

My day did get a little bit brighter yesterday when Jeff got a call from Great Beginnings and they said that our furniture is ready to be delivered...2 months early! I guess my new job will be to decorate the nursery! Thanks to everyone who sent sweet messages yesterday. It really meant a lot ;)
