Wow, what a day

It's amazing how you can have such highs which can turn into such lows so quickly. Today we went for our second scan. Spud is now 18mm long and 8 weeks 2 days old! Got pics of the funny looking little alien, saw the heart beat and the arm and leg stumps (hope they grow), and the head and the brain sac thing. WOW. It is just incredible. I am so happy and excited, but yet still pretty nervous. It is so difficult not yet being able to celebrate properly. I haven;t even told my sister yet.
Wifeberry is still really nervous, and adding to the nausea, tiredness and light headedness, it is tough for her to get real excited too. Anyway, we will soon be celebrating her huge stomach!!

So, after the scan, I cruise in to work and am confronted with the wonderful task of telling all my staff that they are not receiving the 2nd part of their bonuses. They just don;t understand. It is a business decision made by the shareholders. The group and the company didn't perform as well as expected, so no 2nd part of the bonus.
Doesn fuckin help the morale now does it? Crazy sh!t. I dunno how I am going to get these guys and girls to keep going to bat for me rather than to give me bat. Makes my life extremely difficult.

So, fomr the high of the scan down to the low of the dissapointment. What a day. Lets hope the rest of it is better.
