    Welcome, new team members!

    How’s everyone doing this week?

    I went back to work this week and I’m exhausted. I have my next maternity appointment tomorrow and will have to talk about different options to breathe some life into me… the only two ways for improvement I can think of are an iron infusion at the hospital and part-time sick leave. I already have a light office job I can do remotely with a flexible schedule, so there’s not a lot of adjustments to be made there. Only 7 and a half more weeks until maternity leave, I can do this.

    At least today I got more done at work than yesterday, and I was even able to squeeze in some personal paperwork and finally applied for the baby box and other benefits, it’s good to be a Finnish mom. The baby box is full of baby gear and you get it from the government for free if you participate in the free public maternity healthcare program. I also filed for child support/benefit, which is about $100 per month until the child turns 17, regardless of parental income, as well as maternity leave pay. I’m now officially filed as being on maternity leave from September until next August, first 3 months on full salary and the rest at 80%, I think.

    Yay, welcome all new members!

    I had my check-up today, and got no help whatsoever with the iron deficiency issue. I have follow-up labs scheduled in 2 weeks, but apparently my iron levels are still ”too good” and they’re ”not allowed” to write a send-in for the hospital to get proper treatment. I booked an appointment with my workplace healthcare for next week to discuss what options that route would have to help me out so I can make it through the last 7 weeks of work. On the plus side, the nurse said my weight gain is ”modest” which is nice, although the 20lbs I’ve put on so far doesn’t feel modest at all when I’m carrying it around all day. (Newbies - I’m pregnant and definitely not losing weight currently, I’ll rejoin the weight loss team once I’m cleared postpartum. Until then, I’m just hanging out, focusing on a healthy pregnancy and trying my best to support you all.)

    Hi all,

    I'm going to take a few weeks from this group. I've lost two fur babies in the last couple of weeks and I really need some time to mentally reset.

    Keep reaching for your goals! I'll be back soon.

    @Beka3695, can you please move me to inactive for a bit?

    I am so sorry for your loss! Take care of yourself.

    @Beka3695 I can only imagine how it must feel. 14 months is a long time to be away from home but also gave you so much bonding time with your grandchild!
    It might be tricky getting a "new" old routine established but you are resilient! You got this!

    I have been trying to keep my eating under control this week and what I mean by that is only eating what I have brought with me for the day and not driving anywhere to get take out. My gut thanks me for this. Processed food really throws a wrench in things.
    I am looking forward to a fun weekend. Friday night we will go to a local county fair to watch the demolition derby with my daughter and her boyfriend. That will be some awesome fun but there will be some drinking involved. I plan on practicing moderation which I haven't been very good at so we will see how it goes!

    I will check in with my weight tomorrow.

    Hope everyone has a great day and fantastic weekend!
