hi laides - I have missed out on a lot of excitement and cute baby pics! congrats everyone. So glad everyone is doing well and already considering Maternity leave (i thought i was the only one!) I am going to take a year off. I work for the Australian federal (Commonwealth) government so I get 16 weeks full time paid maternity leave which I am taking at half pay, plus ill tack on about 10 weeks of annual leave I have accrued, also paid at 1/2 pay. So Basically I can sustain at least half pay for nearly a full year which will be helpful. Very blessed I can do this.
As far as 'career change' - I love my job and studied at university for 7 years to get my qualifications so i feel obligated to 'stay for awhile' before chopping and changing lol. Ultimately I would love to start my own business and open a Tea Room. Its in the 10 year plan!
We have booked in our confirmation gender scan in about 3 weeks which will absolutely confirm whether its a he or she. (I totally know its a boy).. Then on 27 May we are having a gender reveal party for our close family and friends cant wait! Will post pictures hehe
Hope everyone has a great week
