Last week at work... (34w;5d)

"I'm five and a half pounds, and quickly running out of room in here!"

I can't believe it's arrived so quickly. I was driving to work this morning thinking that I could quite easily stay another week or two. My OB might have a different opinion (she's always tsk tsking me knowing I'm still at work) but I think a part of me is a little scared about not working. This weekend is Easter so it seemed like the perfect time to stop working at this point, and to not return on Tuesday after the long weekend.

Since the day I turned 15 I have had a job in one form or another. I have never not worked, unless I've been on annual leave and the biggest break I had was the couple of months I took off in 2000/2001 to go backpacking overseas with Deb. This transition is quite scary - up until now, I suppose I've been so excited at the prospect of having a break from work, it's only now starting to hit me that I won't be back for a very long time. I'm sure this feeling will pass (very quickly! I'm sure I'll be laughing about how stupid I felt in no time) but it's this feeling of uncertainty and not being in control of my working life that bothers me.

In any event, the reason I'm doing this is obvious - for bigger and better things in this world, and with just over a month to go until I'm due (that's right... a month!) time will no doubt continue to pass extra quickly.

Our anniversary was lovely - Miss Saigon was fabulous! Although, I must admit I had a small heart attack when I found out they changed most of the words to the opening number and thought I would be watching the musical afresh, but luckily it was mostly only the first song!! It was so lovely to get out and see the show, I really missed doing so! And I'm sure I'll miss it even more once the baby is here (no more splurging on show tickets, that's for sure!).
