It's a great day!

Last day of work for 12 1/2 weeks!!!!!!!!!  It was so awesome to turn my alarm off this morning and not just reset it.  :)

So many people didn't understand why I wanted to work up until giving birth.  So many co-workers said I should take off the week of my due date and be done.  I'd have wasted 3 weeks with my boy had I done that!!

Woohoo!!  It's a great day!  :)

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
    - Neil Gaiman

  • Yay for your last day of work!! I wish I was able to work up until the end and have more time afterwards, but the way disability works here I get 4 weeks before and if I don't use them, I lose them. I'd much rather the extra 4 weeks with baby after he's born.

  • Yay!! And I feel the same way about work, people have already started asking if I'm "still working" ( :-/ ) or when I plan to start mat leave... when the baby comes!

    I hope your last day goes well and I can't wait to meet your little guy! :)
