Guess what?! Today is the last day that I work outside the home for at least a year! I feel as giddy as the last day of school before summer. Except that this is going to be a very, very long summer. It really is time for me to be off work; I’m hardly sleeping which is severely affecting me ability to do my job these days. I feel fat and tired and grumpy and emotional at work. Just this morning an old lady told me that her dog died after sixteen years and instead of telling her how nice it is that he had a long life (my usual MO), I pretty much burst into tears. Clearly, I’m in no position to be here. I haven’t not had a job this long in my entire grown-up life, so this is an odd thing I’m going into. But the fact is: I feel happy and confident that my time and energy is being well spent on raising our baby girl. There’s nothing better that I could be doing with my time.
At work they’re having an ice cream sundae party for me – what a perfect sendoff for a pregnant person!

You go girl!! Make sleep your new full time job. Sleep every single second you can--before and after baby......and if needs be, you can convert to my new religion to relieve any stress you feel when you forego the dishes, the laundry, emptying the diaper bin, or changing your spit-up stained clothes to go sleep.
