Well, what a day!!!

[XKatX]

Finally!!! I finished work and started my mat leave today!
I thought I would be really excited, but I was so sad when I had to say goodbye to all my colleagues
They drive me nuts sometimes, but I'll miss their company and sense of humour.
It also hit me like a smack in the face that this is it........I'm going to have a baby I feel really odd now. Sitting at home with a brew and don't know what to think really. My head is all over the place.
At least I have my baby shower to look forward to tomorrow night!!!
I've also got a leg wax, bikini wax and manicure booked for tomorrow and hairdressers Thursday. I feel strangely lonely though. Don't know why. Perhaps I'll feel a bit better when hubby gets home and I can talk about how I feel.

On a happier note though - I got the results to my Nurse Mentorship course today and...............I passed!!!!
One less thing to worry about while I'm off!!
So this is it now - you'll be sick of the sight of me after a few days!!!

Thats so true! I work (worked!!!) 50-60 hour weeks for the last 14 years, so it's all feeling a bit strange!! Plus, I realised today that, when I do go back to work, nothing will be the same again. My work life balance will change, as well as my outook to life, work and everything!
I know everyone goes through this, I just wasn't expecting to feel like this!

well done Kat!! Finally a bit of time for you. I know how you feel tho, I have been working at home the past 3 weeks and I have started to feel a bit lonely. Just waiting around is getting boring and all anyone ever wants to know about is the baby. hummm.

 

[XKatX]

I've got to say though - I won't miss lunch times!! Whenever I go to lunch, people feel the need to share their labour stories with me!! I said today, that I now know the most intimate details of everyone at work - and they were told to me over my food!! Nice!

It's not surprising that you feel as if things have come to an end because in a sense they have. You've finished work and your course is now over and you probably hadn't thought about what it would be like to be at home 24/7. It's a transitional period which can be quite daunting for someone who worked so hard, being always on the go with a mapped out agenda as it were. Now you're going to be making up the targets yourself so it's normal that you feel a bit like a fish out of water. Only reason I know this is that I was running a pub and it's kitchen with my partner when I got pg with Charlie but after moving to a new house and getting that sorted I felt like I was twiddling my fingers.

Don't worry; as the other girls have said you'll soon be upto your eyes in baby chores and loving every second of it.

Congratulations on passing your course and I'm sure you'll put it to good use when you decide to return to work.

Have a really great time with your baby shower; I wish someone would throw me one.
