Now that IS an exciting post title!!! So I wasn't so bummed about today being Monday for once..... seeing as this is my last Monday before maternity leave!!!! And working only three days a week, my last day is Wednesday!!!! I CANNOT believe it!!! I've been sooooo busy in the weeks leading up until now and I think I have most bases covered, so now I'm slipping blissfully into holiday mode - whether I like it or not!!!
Very glad as I'm sick of travelling and a bit sick of sitting cramped up at my desk all day! Not the most favourable position to be in at this stage of pregnancy. But I'm not complaining, I have it better than alot of people in the workplace and I'm making the most of it!
Am off for a lunch with my old department tomorrow so that will be lovely! And then Wednesday my current department are taking me to lunch as well, so I dare say they will both be long stints out of the office!! We've been running a bit of a spreadsheet too, trying to guess the sex of the bub, date of birth, weight, length etc and things like that make the whole experience so much more exciting!!! Can hardly believe there is all this fuss!!!For so many years I've enjoyed doing it for other people, and now here I am getting to do it for my own little monkey! I love it!!!
Good news, my other little embarrssing pregnancy symptom from my last post is all completely sorted and I'm good as gold again!! Thank the lord for caring pharmacists!!! hee hee!!!
My only "complaint" currently is groin pain which seems to be much worse when I've done my nightly walk. It's kind like somone is pulling at my adductor muscles and standing on my pubic bone all at the same time. It's bearable but contributes to this stupid penguin waddle!!! hahaha!!! I guess it's just that things where the ligaments loosen and your pelvis is preparing for birth! Hope it's not too far away now!! Start my 37th week on Thursday and so that's probably the ultimate milestone for me and I'm sooooooo happy I can't even explain it! Getting very regular Braxton hicks now too..... pretty much every day. Some are hardly noticable really but some are getting quite strong and certainly uncomfortable! Good practice hopefully!!!
Am still taking red raspberry leaf tablets every day and I read on BH in the November due thread that alot of women are taking EPO again. Some even putting capsules inside them up near their cervix. I had started taking some again as of the weekend but only orally!!! hahaha!!! Apparently it can help with softening the cervix and seeing as I had some leftover from TTC days, I figured it couldn't hurt to take them until they run out!
Well, gotta run as my day is about over! 2 days left! YEAH!!!! : D
I'm so pumped that after this week that the 3 of us will be DONE!!!! :) So amazing!! I feel so lazy given I'm 4 weeks behind you! hahah
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the groin pain... it seems to be worse if I sit for too long - I completely stiffen up! BUT am ok after I walk it out!! Annoying!!!
