Pain and exhaustion

So glad my company has a flexible work schedule. I feel somewhat guilty still because of places I've worked in the past not being flexible AT ALL, but it is so nice to be able to work half days when needed and make up the couple of hours on a different day or on the weekend. I've talked to HR multiple times because of my guilt complex, and they have reassured me time and time again that that's what the flex time it's for and to not worry and even to take extra time if I need it 😊 They were actually looking into a paid leave policy I guess but couldn't find a way to afford it yet. But they are starting by giving everyone 3 paid days for the birth of a new child starting this year so that means I'll at least still be getting paid while in the hospital! Plus have the 12 weeks unpaid and disability insurance to cover some.

Even though I'm home again today literally rolling back and forth on the couch trying to get the strength to get up and finish getting myself dressed, I'm reminding myself that I'm thankful that I switched companies since my last pregnancy and am not getting lectured for being 5 mins late to work.

Long post, but positive things this time. Everything else is so hard right now, needed to focus on the good today 🥰
