I know this isn't the end of the world but this has really upset me and I need a little rant...
OH was supposed to be coming with me to my second scan, he's not the baby's biological dad so it really meant a lot that he was coming too... he's just as excited as I am about it! But he's got a pain in the ass job as a trackman (railway engineer type person) basically working on the tracks as trains go zooming past, dangerous job but it pays well and he's used to dodging them now. Well for the past few weeks, he's working either fridays or saturdays, the odd sunday. This week we've found out he's not only working tonight (3pm-3am) he's working monday (8pm-6am) and tuesday (8pm-6am). He's told me he wants to come with me anyway, and wont take no for an answer now. He can't come off a 10 hour shift doing heavy labor to stay up all day to see a scan and then go back on for 10 hours... it's too risky and I'm not having my lovely severed in half (most common track injury next to hurting your hand).
I'm so gutted right now, it was going to be so nice, him, my mum and dad, all seeing little one on the box, but now thanks to that fucking company (i'd name it but it may get him in trouble if I'm blaspheming the company he's on) he's either gonna be shattered for it, AND for work, or have to miss it and spend the night pre-occupied anyway. GRRRRRR!
You'd think they'd have a pregnant partner scan policy...
