R & R

Well, it's taken 4 days, but today I've been able to have a relatively relaxed day - just baking and icing some cup cakes for Harrison's last day at day care, making a few calls, and catching up on emails. I'm about to go and have my first afternoon nap in about 3 months! Gotta love this maternity leave.

Last day

Today is my last day at work until May 2010.  Nearly finished all the things on my to do list.  Kind of wish I was starting work again on Monday now that everything is tidied and squared away!  I have a week to myself next week, so hope to do lots of exercise, resting, and a bit of packing for Canada. 

2 days to go

Only 2 more days of work to go.  The to do list is still looking impossibly long, I am getting increasingly exhausted, and there may be no way I can walk away from this job with a clear conscience....

 

New plans

I’m 30 weeks now, and still feeling good.  We’ve had a change of plans for the birth – we’re now staying in Perth and having the baby at St John of God hospital instead of in Toowoomba.  My GP will deliver the baby, which I’m really looking forward to.  We’ll extend our lease a bit in the City Beach house, and move into a house in Mosman Park for the last month we’re in Perth.  It takes a lot of the pressure off us in terms of the time frame for packing, though it does make for a few horrendous flying days with a 5 year old and a 2 week old baby.  We’ll go to Brisbane, stay for a day to recover from the first flight, then go to Vancouver, stay for another day, then go to Victoria.  It will be tiring, but once we’re there we are all on leave, with no places to be or things to do, so hopefully we can just concentrate on getting into the new time zone and getting ourselves settled.
