Exhausted

Yup, i'm soooooo exhausted tonight. It's really hit me the last few days, just walking about at work (not that I walk far), is becoming a chore. My bumpo feels so heavy.

Roll on Mat Leave!!

I changed my dates today. I was supposed to finish up on 16th Jan @ 38wks preg, but pulled it back one week to 9th Jan (37wks). It's the same date as DH, he said to me this morning "You should ask to finish at the same time as me - I NEED to be with you if/when things start (labour) - I don't want you being at work alone if things start early"

He's such a sweetheart

I hope you get good rest tonight. And that's great for moving up your maternity leave.

I can definitely feel the change when I'm climbing stairs but other than that I'm still doing OK. Some days I also get that heavy feeling with my stomach.

Just think that in about 4 weeks, you'll be full term!!! I know 40w is technically considered the end but I find so much pleasure in knowing that I really just need to make it to 37weeks and baby can come anytime after that and go home without complications.

I hear you with the stairs!! I started taking the lift at work this week.

When do you finish work, Mari?

I remember that heavy feeling and how I would huff walking up the stairs. You are getting very close. You will enjoy those days off before the baby comes. Make sure to rest and not do anything! Once your little one is born you will always be busy.

I'm hoping to work as close to my due date as possible. If the week with the 30th comes and I haven't delivered yet, then I'd take my leave from then.

I know stairs suck --but try to keep them up--it will really help with Labor and getting jellybean in the right position and staying there. A little extra protein will help you out also in the last couple weeks for some energy!
