I just informed my supervisor that May 19th will be my last day of work. After that I’ll be on maternity leave. Hoping I will still have enough energy to get all the projects I have planned completed. I have tried to think of things I can do that do not require too much bending etc. Is 5 weeks long enough to decide on a name?
This past weekend Andrew and I attended our intense weekend long pre-natal class. First day was all about labour and pregnancy. Second day - post partum stuff like breastfeeding etc. Really useful and interesting- mostly for Andrew who has been concentrating on corn and not baby breeding. We had a chance to meet other expectant couples- including one couple who is putting baby up for adoption. Very interesting. Watched 3 different births- not as graphic as I expected. Everyone seemed so calm (except the mother I guess). Reaffirmed decision to have no video equipment near me during labour. Yikes. One woman laboured in her hot tub for awhile- outside. With all her neighbours looking on (well not really but I could just imagine). No thanks.
This Wednesday Andrew and I are heading back to the Ottawa area for Easter celebrations. Hoping to visit with some of the new babies (and older babies) we know. Hope we don’t get caught on the 401 for too long through Toronto- my bladder is no longer a marathon holder.
