I just realised this morning (when I woke up at 5.30 am and couldn’t get back to sleep) that I only have about 11 more weeks at work. I’m currently going through the process of coming to terms with the change I’ll be making by choosing to stop working – not just take maternity leave but 100% stop my current career and start something new. Not to say that I’ll never do paid work again, but at this point I’ll be free to decide what and when that is.

Anyway, this morning I went online to buy my cousin a gift for her baby shower from the site she’s registered at and realised after looking at their handy checklist that OMG!I don’t have anything for the baby and he’ll be here in just over 15 weeks..

ok, so we do have a pram, a car seat and a change table as well as some miscellaneous clothing items and towels that have started to appear from family and friends but not ALL the essentials.

I’m going to have to get busy…

 

ETA: I feel as big as a house already on my tummy and still have 3 months to go, but I have started going to Preggi Bellies exercise classes.
