My husband and I had been TTC for 8 months

My husband and I had been TTC for 8 months. I was worried so we both got tested. 100% healthy. I was dealing with a terrible work environment. I loved my job but our assistant was a horrible bully and my boss was a terrible manager. The assistant had applied for my job but was not qualified so they put her in said position instead. I was hired after her and she was bitter so I didn't stand a chance from day one. Anyway, I always maintained a very kind demeanor, wearing a smile, and frequently going out of my way to ensure our assistant was happy even when she would intentionally ignore or undermine me. It wasn't until I was sleeping until 3PM on the weekends that I realized the emotional toll my work environment was taking. So, I put in my 3 week notice. I happened to be on my period when I did this, so I was going to ovulate before I was finished working. I didn't think anything would come of it bc I was still in that space, granted I knew it was ending very soon, but still...i was in a stressful environment so wasn't expecting anything. Welp! I was wrong! I got pregnant 1.5 weeks after I put my notice in. Pretty wild how much of an impact stress can have on conception. I waffled about quitting, but since I found out I was pregnant, I decided there is nothing more validating than that to justify my departure. Now I'm starting my own grant writing business and will have the flexibility and luxury of damn near being a stay at home mom.
