Last day at work!

Just wanted to share my relief! I would do a little dance but I'm too blimmin knackered. I'm looking forward to not having an alarm wake me on Monday morning, but I also think it's going to be hard to not want to phone and email work to check my department is still ticking over ok, or to feel guilty about being at home. Anyone else felt like this?

My last day today too! But I have a boisterous toddler at home, so I'm not anticipating much rest. Is this your first baby? If so, ENJOY! ( I do know what you mean about cutting tied with work though)

I'm not sure how I will deal with not checking bits for work. I have 16 weeks left till I leave and I'm scared my building is going to go down the pan in my absence!

Good luck with Bubs and enjoy the time before the baby alarm wakes you

So I've been thinking about work all night! Ridiculous! I am however enjoying a lovely lie in. I think it's hard when you have invested your time and energy into building something up at work to have to leave it in the hands of someone else. It is my first baby though and I do plan to enjoy this time. I need to switch my head off now :)

I think as soon as baby comes along work will be a distant memory! How long until your due date?

I can understand what you mean. With dd I found it difficult to stop thinking about how my class were (I teach and I went on maternity 3 weeks before the end of term). It had been a tricky year as I had hyperemesis. This time I'm pregnant with dc2...once again have hyperemesis and have returned to work. Not in class this time though because of my sickness...I just cover classes and I can't wait for maternity leave! My body has been through to much already this pregnancy and I just want to rest already before baby is here. I'm only 16 weeks in! I'm planning on leaving at 35 weeks and I will not look back!

I am a teacher too! Due first week of December. I'm particularly worried about someone else doing my exam classes. I'm sure when baby arrives everything else will fade in importance but the constant mind chatter about work isn't stopping yet!
