I froze. Pregnant? I didn’t plan for this. What on Earth am I going to do? I had so many questions buzzing around my head. I couldn’t think straight. I then blurted out “I need a shower.” Avery looked confused but she helped me to the bathroom hoping I would have something more to say. But honestly, I had no idea what to say. Then everything went black.“What the hell happened?!” My brother yelled as he heard the thud in the bathroom. “I think she passed out!” Avery yelled “Should we take her to the Emergency room?” Avery thought for a second, “Definitely.” Tim carried me out the door to his truck, where Avery sat in the backseat with me. All Avery could think was that there could be something wrong with the baby… but she couldn’t tell Tim that yet. She couldn’t be the one to tell him that his sister was pregnant. When I woke up, I was beyond confused. I remember Avery telling me I was pregnant… then nothing. I still don’t know how I feel about that. But now I was definitely i

It’s been a couple of days since my hospital trip and I had woke up this morning with more energy than normal. I was already making sure that my day consisted of a healthy diet and plenty of extra water. Of course that meant I was running to the bathroom more, but oh well. I had to get my ducks in a row since I was pregnant. I had finished all my online courses and now I needed to start looking for a job that could benefit me- just as much as I could benefit them from being there. I had no idea what I was looking for. I extended my knowledge base by taking so many different classes that I wasn’t sure what to focus on. I did know that I wanted to be able to work from home when needed. That would benefit me for when I had my doctors appointments, if I felt sick, and maybe after the baby came so I didn’t have to lose my career on maternity leave.I scrolled tons of job listings and nothing seemed to fill the bill. There wasn’t anything that stood out and peaked my interest. I shut my lap

Anita walked past me. “Meet me in the lobby at 8 tomorrow.” She stated loudly as she walked down the hall to the elevator. Will still stood in the opposite doorway waiting for me to say something. To say I was stunned was an understatement. He works here? Why didn’t he say that earlier? I had questions for him.. but honestly I didn’t know where to start. There were no words leaving my mouth. “I told you I knew some people over here.” He said with a grin. My heart instantly sank. Did he get me the job? Is he the reason it was barely an interview? He must have noticed the change in my face. He walked over to me and proceeded to say “I only put a recommendation on your file. They were super impressed with your resume. And honestly, so was I.”He read my resume? Why and how? I was left with more questions than before.Seeing my confusion, Will told me he’d answer all my questions. He just wanted to give me the tour first. I reluctantly agreed. My confusion did not take away from the a

I woke up extra early this morning in hope to get myself ready for my first day at RU. I made sure I put my necessary documents in my bag in order to not forget them. I also shoved a pair of my flats in my bag just in case I couldn’t handle my heels all day. I wasn’t sure how much walking around I would be doing. When I finally got to the gate and they verified me, I felt a whole new level of nervous. And with that came nausea. The last thing I wanted to do today was be the new girl hurling her guts out in the bathroom. I calmed myself down and walked through the spinning door again. Reality set in and I realized, this is my job. I work here. I was truly excited. I was a little early, so Anita wasn’t in the lobby yet. I looked around taking note of bathrooms and the signs in the building. It would take some time for me to figure out where everything was located. About 5 minutes pass before Anita walks in.“Hello Rebecca! Come with me.” As I followed her up the stairs I mentioned to he

I had an OB appointment this morning so I switched my work times up today. Tim was in the waiting room with me. It’s been over a month since I found out I was pregnant and today I was supposed to have my first ultrasound. I was super excited but nervous too. Tim must have seen my nerves kick in, so he put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me in. “I’m sure everything will be fine. No need to worry sis.” His words comforted me. Finally it was my turn and they called me back. Tim asked if I wanted him to go back with me, and the technologist whispered in my ear that I would have to remove my pants in the room. With that knowledge I quickly replied “No, I’ll be fine.” Back to my brother and also a quick thank you in a hushed tone to the technologist. She must have heard him call me his sis earlier. She set me up for the test and I got to watch the little screen. She told me what she was looking at because let’s be honest, I had no idea what the blobs were. She wasn’t able to tell
