Maternity Leave

My first day back at work was Monday, when i walked in, there were a few of my favorite girls. After working evenings almost the whole summer, it was nice to see the smiling faces, have a short Hen fest and have a few laughs. What really came a reality is when I Looked at the new fall schedule and saw that someone was in my spot as of Nov. 1st. I felt my heart sink a little bit. its kind of a bitter sweet. My co-worker who makes the schedule showed it to me and we went through a few things, the last month i'm only a float so worst case scenerio, they won't be screwed if I have to go off early or if the baby come's early. I'm planning on working until I can't anymore, I find it healthy, it keeps me busy, it keeps my feet from swelling and I get to visit with my favorite ladies. Don't get my wrong by shifts end I'm really tired, my back is aching and i'm bloated but all in all they look after me pretty good. These ladies are mostly older then me, I look up to them, they have kids and give good qaulity advice, they are honest with me and if I ever needed anything I know I could count on them. Thats what real friends are for.

As much as Mat leave sounds appealing, the money stinks and I won't get to see my co-workers for a long time. On the flip side, I cannot wait to stay home with my baby and just look after me and my little family. I'm going to love it, I have so many close friends with babies that are due around me I will be busy with play dates and have lots of girls to chat with, and have lots of time to sit and snuggle my new little baby. I'm dying to see her already. As much as I hate pink....her closet is FULLLLLLLLLL of pink stuff...
