My boss is extremely nice and decided to approve my requested last day before maternity leave as yesterday. This made me so thankful because of numerous reasons. First, you don' realize how much energy it takes to devote an acceptable amount of energy into your work. By mid day I would be exhausted and would still have half a day of work left! And I never wanted to do something half way so I would just work harder which would make me more tired. A vicious cycle! Second, it was hard to not think about all of the things that I want to get done before Charlotte arrives while I worked. Things that could definitely go undone, but I would rather they not. Like stocking the freezer and cleaning up the house. So, I'm so thankful that Prathima let me take some time off before Charlotte arrives so that I can concentrate on resting and finishing up my to do list.
So today is day one of maternity leave. I wish I could have caught up on some sleep immediately but we had our weekly doctor's appointment this morning so I had to get up earlier than I do on a usual work day! Everything at our appointment was good and we're still on for a May 22nd c-section. I'm now sitting here blogging as I write out my goal list of things to accomplish today. And believe me, taking a nap is on the list! :) I tweeted last night that it feels like summer and it does. But I do know that my summer is going to last roughly 9 days before things get crazy again. I am so looking forward to meeting Charlotte in person!
Happy Wednesday!
I am crazy with my lists right now!!! It is so hard not to just run around crazy getting everything done....I detailed the inside of our car today!!! What in the world?!?!?
