What I love about being Pregnant

Let me just say being pregnant is not what I expected. Some things I love and some things I really don't like. I wouldn't go as far as to say I hate any of it because the result of all this is something really wonderful so I can't hate the process. I have to just appreciate and take it for what it is. Okay so for the things I enjoy. First of all my all time fav thing about it is when baby Ava kicks and moves around in my belly. It is just so amazing to me. Wherever I am and whatever I am doing I stop to watch the the little creature moving inside me. I put my hand on my stomach to feel it. She will always poke part of her body out. I'm not sure if it's an elbow or knee or foot or what but it will be an obvious body part raised up out of my round belly. So as a game I will gently push it back in with my finger. It's like a little game we play back and forth, a way to playfully interact with my baby girl. I told Russell that I do that and he thought it wasn't very nice of me. Haha. I'm not trying to be mean, I think it is more funny. Sorry baby Ava I hope you aren't annoyed by mommy's game :) But whenever baby will move and I am with Russ I will tell him and we will both sit and watch my belly. It is just so incredible. What a little miracle she is. Oh baby Ava I can't wait to meet you!!

I miss ICON SECURITY

Yes I miss Icon Security. I worked for Icon for 3 1/2 years, it was the most I've ever invested of myself at any job. So when I heard the news that Icon was merging with Pinnacle security, I was absolutely crushed. The merger as they called it was actually more of a aquisition on Pinnacle's part. I guess because of the crummy economy Icon couldn't get approved for the whole amount of the loan they needed to continue on with the company so they decided to let Pinnacle take us over. So the day before Halloween we had a State of The Company meeting as they called it and basically told us the company that we all loved was no more. So I wondered if I even had a job anymore, along with everyone else there. And the truth was most of corporate probably won't. Its a horrible situation. So here I am 7 months pregnant and for all I know out of a job. Since I was working as the executive assistant to the 3 owners of the company I was lucky enough to get an interview over at Pinnacle. And since they put in a VERY good word for me, I was hired. I was so happy. I mean I really didn't want to be job hunting with my big prego belly. Who is actually going to hire a pregnant person? I mean as far along as I am, basically I work for 3 more months then I have to take 4 to 6 weeks off to have the baby. So I was truly blessed to have been hired. So I was hired on as a Regional Operations Coordinator, I'm in charge of helping out all the Icon reps transitioning over to Pinnacle. Which I am so happy to be working with the guys I already know, but Pinnacle is so different in the way they do everything. I started this new job on Monday and the more time I spend there the more I miss Icon. I'm getting sad just thinking and writing about it. I will make a post soon about the top reasons I miss Icon but I don't really want to think about it anymore tonight. But all of you at Icon Security still, I MISS YOU and ICON WAS THE BEST EVER!!!
