Some not so good news, and then some GREAT news!!

So, it's been ohhh about 2 months since I wrote a blog, and I figured it was time.  So a lot has happened in the last 2 months.  First thing I should mention, is that I have been moved back into my old position at work.  I am done with my training to be an assistant manager, and I was given the opportunity to apply for the Assistant Managers position at my store.  Unfortunately I was not offered the position, much to my disappointment.  Would I say I am a little upset by it?  Um.......ya I am.  I wish I could say that I am fine with it, but if I'm totally honest (and what a better place then blogspot to be honest) I am disappointed that I got passed over for this promotion.  I have worked for Michaels' for a long 9 years and feel like I am ready for this position.  Plus, lets be honest, a pay raise would have been a nice plus :)  But I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. And I think I have fully come to accept that today.
The other exciting news that we have come into in the last 2 months is that Tyler and I are expecting our first baby!!!  Which is far more exciting then the job news.  Maybe I should have led with this news?  Meh oh well.  Moving right along... I am about 13 weeks along.  And so far things have been going pretty smoothly.  I have only had a few episodes of throwing up.  Two to be exact.  When I first found out I was pregnant I was a little nervous that I would suffer from some horrible morning sickness, but aside from a few food aversions (eggs being the worst by far but that's another story)  things have been going very well.  Lately I have been having these horrible sinus headaches.  I have always suffered from headaches, but I have always been able to take pain medications for them,  but NOW things are different.  I have been told that Tylenol is okay, but it seems that the baby does not like Tylenol, as it comes right back up.  The Tylenol is actually the culprit of the few episodes of throwing up I've had.  I am on some antibiotics for a sinus infection, so I'm hoping once I'm done my headaches will be reduced significantly.
Ya know how I said earlier that I had accepted the fact that I didn't get the Assistants job?  Well I think that the reason I didn't is because I'm pregnant.  And no I am not saying that the bigwigs didn't give me the job because I'm preggers.  I feel like the opportunity wasn't supposed to be mine right now.  I have been pretty sick with these headaches this last week.  It would have been nearly impossible for me to take sick days had I  gotten the job.  So I have to say I would much rather have my baby, and start my family then start a new job.
Well this blog has gone on long enough.  I will try to write a couple more times in the next 2 months, although I'm not making any promises :D
