Congratulations anna and moggle! Am jealous of the newborn loveliness but stuck with work. I didn't mind it as a favour to fil originally, but didn't think it'd take him so long to get permission and that he'd then think it still fine to ask for me to do it with weeks till due. He either has forgotten what a newborn is like or is being bizarrely short sighted. Also the job I've taken over now turns out to need a load of correction.
I need to see how much work I get done Friday and tomorrow, but will probably need to do some work on the weekend or evenings so as not to end up utterly miserable for the first month after the baby's born juggling the work and baby.
Am so jealous of your mat leave jollies even if overdue, and am horribly tired and uncomfortable at 39+1 but hoping I go overdue for the time to work. It's making me totally miserable and I wouldn't have taken the job on at this time for anyone else but can't see how I could have refused fil.
I just don't want to end up with ds and the baby getting sidelined and me too exhausted to be either a good mother or architect because of someone else's time management issues.
