Maternity Leave

Well I can hardly believe it is upon me now. I am feeling very excited (maybe a little nervous) and very sore! Lol

I am about to start my (early) pregnancy leave! Monday will be my last day at work . Feels unreal really. I can’t believe that after almost 6 years I won’t be coming into this place every day. Also it makes it feel as though the birth is really going to happen (yeah the giant beach ball belly that bumps and jolts around hasn’t made it feel as though it is coming ?! lol)

I am looking forward to having some time at home to organize and prepare for this little guy. Some extra time to spend with my extra special little girl. Some extra time to put my feet up and relax! (Yeah like that will happen)

I have had a great pregnancy really. I can’t complain too much (well I can but don’t want to) I am so thankful to have been given this chance to be a mom again (not that I was unmomed…unmom.un-mom….you know what I mean lol) but to be able to experience the joy of growing another life inside my body, feel him kicking and moving, watch my belly grow. …well it is something else and I have a whole new appreciation for it. So much different then when I had Evelynn. I will be honest and say I took her pregnancy for granted. Everything would go fine and that was just expected. I don’t know if it is age, the fact that I have experienced a loss or just where I am in life now that has made a difference. Maybe it is much more or less or all of those things combined. It doesn’t really matter though…what matters is how wonderful it is!

Yesterday I had a check-up with my doctor. Just regular nothing to report check-up. I am 31 weeks pregnant. Well if you have ever been pregnant before you know that at all of these check-ups they measure your tummy when you are lying down. Basically it is supposed to go how many centimetres to how many weeks you are. I should be measuring 31 weeks but lucky me I get to measure 36 (well she said that was pushing it really it is closer to 37). So when you think about it…that is full term. I get to measure full tern or plus for the rest of the pregnancy! Lucky me lol

Well out of time to finish or add more to this post.

Let me finish by adding I am blessed…truly am. Not only with this pregnancy but in so many ways in my life.
