One more day to go...
I finish work tomorrow. I'll be 37 weeks pregnant, which is a week earlier than the last time. With hind sight, I should have stopped at least 2 weeks ago. I had no idea my second pregnancy was going to be so tiring.After I had Freyja I said that next time round I would give myself longer off before the baby arrived. But then you get caught up in work and projects and earning money and suddenly find yourself committing to unrealistic deadlines and working for longer than you planned. Or that's what I do anyway. As it happens, work has been crazy this year, I've been run off my feet and have not completed any of the projects that I was working until the end of March in order the complete. But I am walking out of that door at 5pm (I have to pick up Freyja) tomorrow for the last time this year.
I am more than ready to clear my mind of work and focus on getting ready for the new arrival. I hope it doesn't make a surprise early appearance - I'd hate not to have had my hair cut, legs waxed and toes polished before it arrives....

that's what happened with Jacob - because of the issues with my high bp, I was in hospital almost immediately and managed only a few days back at home before they re-hospitalised me to induce him.
at least with Sam I managed five or six weeks before I got stuck in hospital again. Most of this time was spent asleep on the sofa, I seem to remember....
You get some rest, stop nesting, put your feet up and do nothing. That's an order!!
Thanks Rowan! I really want a few weeks to relax before this one arrives. Which is why I've just spent the last hour scrubbing my bathroom - God!!
Going to follow your order now and flop on the sofa with Freyja.
