Just need to vent-messed up with my boss

Vent

I can’t believe I did this. I have a history of miscarriage and am currently 6w+4d via IVF. We heard the heartbeat for the first time this morning and we are just so cautiously optimistic. We know anything could happen and we have a very long way to go. I definitely don’t want to be discussing anything at this early stage at work.

Very unfortunately, someone hit my parked car (parked in the street of a city where I live) overnight last night and ran. The car is pretty much wrecked. I took some pics and then ran to my IVF appointment to deal with the car later.

I explained to my boss over IM that i would be to the office late because i had to wait for the police to come and do a police report. I then came to the office about 3 hours late (and after our IVF appointment, which of course I didn’t mention) and he asked how the car was. I showed him my camera roll of car pics and totally forgot I had taken ultrasound pics, so as I was going through the car pics, i inadvertently showed him the ultrasound pics. I didn’t say anything just “oops not that” and took the phone back.

I am SO MAD at myself. It is far too early for him to know and now he knows. I feel like it’s such bad luck 🙁🙁🙁

Anyway, i just need to vent. I feel just awful and can’t stop thinking about it.

I wish everyone here peace and good luck on their early journeys!
