Maternity Leave

Question of the Day:
When are you going to be done working? or are you just going to work up until you deliver?

The Answer:
It depends on the day! Today, I am feeling more and more like I may start my maternity leave a little early, providing he doesn't arrive this week or next week. My back, hips, and pelvis are really sore and I can't really play very well with any of my clients because I can't get up and down off the floor. The driving portion of my job is becoming a literal pain as well. Today, I found that even getting in and out of my car is quite uncomfortable and takes a bit of a heave-ho. But, then I have other days where I feel great! My back, hips, and pelvis don't bother me and I am only moderately uncomfortable in my car. Those days, I feel like I could work up until I go into labor. I just can't decide!

I want to spend as much of my maternity leave with Baby D as possible, so I don't want to stop working to soon, but am I don't want to push myself to the point where work is physically impossible! We will see what the doctor has to say this week. Maybe she will have some suggestions!

In the meantime, Baby D, we are ready to meet you! We are anxious to see you and hold you and tell you, in person, how much we love you! We are ready when you are little boy!
