@mrskc: Happy second tri, due-date buddy

I have been feeling better in the afternoons/evenings (when my m/s was the worst), but now this morning I'm feeling pretty yucky. Hopefully it's over soon.

I do have some sad news I've been dealing with. I found out a few weeks ago that my Dad has cancer. On Friday we found out that it is pretty advanced and aggressive, and he has refused treatment since it wouldn't do much good. He is expected to pass within a couple weeks I'm pretty sad that he won't be here in August. I've been spending more time with my parents, and at least its helping me feel more at peace with the situation.

@Mrs.Someone: I'm so sorry - your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

@Mrs.Someone: Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

@mrskc: @locavore_mama: Thank you!

August mamas!

@Mrs.Someone: Girl, that is so terrible and we will be thinking of you and hoping for a miracle.

@stratosphere: Thank you

Ok, on to happier stuff. Anyone do anything fun this past weekend? We told some of our closest friends over dinner, just before getting a few inches of snow! Luckily everyone got home safe. I have some relatives coming into town this weekend, so we'll tell extended family on Sunday at lunch.

@Mrs.Someone: I'm so sorry to hear that. I have been there and it is really tough. Thinking of you and your family.

@Mrs.Someone: I told my grandparents that were in town then told my sister and now my aunt and cousins know too. We had a big family get together since my grander parents were here.

@mrs. 64: @Apples4Teacher: @msmug: Thank you

@mrskc: I noticed that Old Navy is having a huge 40% off maternity sale too! It goes through Friday.

@Mrs.Someone: I am so sorry to hear about your father. I will be praying for your family.

@Aandmklover: LOL I lived on one pair of jeans! And a lot of empire waisted dresses and leggings.

I've mainly picked up some tops this time already from Classifieds. I need t shirts this time because we'll be in summer.

I need some prayers please.

So long story short, a unit next to ours at work spilled some dangerous chemicals and I was exposed to it. There were firemen and every thing and the whole building was evacuated. Since I am pregnant they sent me to the hospital.

Please pray that the baby is ok.

@pui: Oh my gosh, keep us updated! Praying for you right now!

@locavore_mama: @BakerBee: @Mrs.Someone:

Thank you. Here is an update :

Basically what happened is the unit next to ours messed something up and Hydrogen Sulfide was being released in to the air. So we were evacuated and the firemen told me that since I am pregnant I should get checked out. The hospital took it very seriously (fastest ER visit ever!). So they drew blood and said that nothing was elevated or anything so me and baby should be fine. The doctor didn't check the baby or anything but we should be OK.

My DH is pissed though because when we first smelled it he went over there and they assured him it was nothing dangerous. Then half an hour later we were being evacuated and firemen were going in to the building with gas masks on.

So now the problem is we had to send all our employees home. We don't know when we're going to be able to get back in to our office.

@pui: Oh no!! I'm so glad you and baby are ok. What a mess though. I would be really angry with your work neighbors.

@Mrs.Someone: When we last stopped by, the Ministry of Labour was there so we're thinking our neighbours are probably in some trouble. DH made sure to tell the Ministry that they told him it wasn't dangerous when it clearly was, putting his employees and pregnant wife in danger.

@BakerBee: Not me! My back is still the most comfortable position for me (I'm a back sleeper). I'm dreading when it starts not working anymore!

@Mrs.Someone: Yeah apparently in their unit the level of hydrogen sulfide was high enough to make someone seriously ill. When we were there a few hours ago the problem hadn't actually stopped either... the chemicals are still reacting or whatever and more and more gas is being released! The firemen are just trying to stop it before they can clean up/air out the place.

I don't think they even having zoning to be doing that kind of chemical work in our building.
