Stress and Cat

So much for trying to stay away from stress. Today has been very stressful. Co-workers aren't always as helpful as they should be. Who cares that you're almost 22 weeks pregnant (which will be tomorrow). No body needs to help you when you're running from one side of the building to the other while they're standing and doing nothing. This is why I'm not a people person. To add to everything, my Great-Aunt passed away yesterday. We saw it coming. She has had Alzheimer's for a few years now. So, it was basically old age and we knew it was going to happen eventually. Then this afternoon, Helena (my sister's cat) passed. She's been sick for a few days. While I was at work, my mom told me she wasn't doing very well. So, when I got home, I sat with Helena for a little bit then took her to the Vet. My sister and I went to 3 different veterinarians. The first 2 didn't even have doctors available. By the third vet, I was already pissed off. Then they didn't think Helena was an emergency. Then when she was barely breathing, I called the receptionist over and had her feel that Helena wasn't breathing very well. When she did that, she told the doctor that was on duty and we were instantly sent back to see her. She put Helena on the table and was checking her breathing. She was doing alright. Then, after making my sister and I laugh; by saying how I look 14 and my younger sister looks older than me; she just looked at us with a straight face and said "She's gone. Sorry girls"... I'm pregnant, stressed, emotional, and she just told me that Helena died? Thanks... Surprisingly, I haven't cried. Neither has my sister. More surprisingly, the pregnant chick didn't cry. I am having a lovely allergy attack so I could always say that that's what it is. Not that I'm crying. Its just allergies. Unfortunately, I think my parents would know that I'm lying. What's even worse? I keep thinking I see her, but I know she's not here. Helena and I didn't even like each other, but it hurts, so much. I mean, I watched her pass away. And, I can't stop hearing that 'meow' she kept doing. That sound just hurts.
As for the stress, thankfully, Amelia is able to handle it. Had cramps earlier and some pain in my no-no. But, we're doing alright now. Thankfully. She keeps kicking, too. I think she's having fun with it now. 'Here Mommy, have a kick here and here and here' which is not very fun for Mommy. Oh well, she's worth it.
