Today is my last day that I am using PTO/WFH and I'm all by myself all day long. I foresee some naps in my future.
Like when will this ever happen again? Probably not until everyone is in daycare/work and I'm working from home for some reason? What should I do? Netflix, magazines, so many options (oh and a few work things of course). Putting up my out of office until July 1 is amazing.
Also, I have been having period type cramps, low level (they don't come and go), all morning. Google tells me this is my body prepping for labor. Monday will be here so soon!

I cannot believe March is ALREADY HERE!!!!! I'd be taking plenty of naps and warm bubblebaths, Eames! I took a belly progress picture this morning and then put it next to the other 6 I've taken and holy shizz. I don't know where 7 more weeks of baby is going to go.

6 weeks until baby day over here. 5 more weeks of work. I'm ready. I mean not "ready", we still have things to do, but I'm so over pregnancy. I absolutely do not want him to come early, but I just sort of want to fast forward thru the next 6 weeks.

I absolutely do not want him to come early, but I just sort of want to fast forward thru the next 6 weeks. I am a couple weeks a head of you but I felt the exact same way at 6 weeks left and still do lets fast forward to the end of the month and get this pregnancy show over lol. I felt like a month further along the entire time than I actually am, size and aches wise, so at this point I feel like I am at my due date... with 4 weeks to go haha.

I tried to take a nap this morning and there are guys trimming trees on our street. Boo.
Then I just had a call to review some billing/invoices that didn't match for work and included a junior person on the team so they'd be in the loop during my leave. During the call I asked him to review the invoices this PM. He responded that he is "too busy" even though he has been sooo slow for weeks. This is a great client so I offered to review it for them myself this PM. My gosh.
Another person emailed me to tell me that my phone is already blinking with a voicemail. Like really??? I'm not going to do shit about that now. If it's an emergency they'll try someone else or email me. Lol. SMH.

@ges072115 and jewelsofthenile I feel the exact same way. Someone yesterday commented on how I’m so much bigger this pregnancy and while rude, she’s not wrong. I spiraled and was looking at pictures from last time and now I am grumpy.

Ugh, I'm sorry tapdancer I hope you and your H feel better! jacks, I know it's hard (I shame spiral myself) but try to ignore the comments. I don't understand how people still don't know to not comment on the size of a woman's body ffs. jewelsofthenile, @ges072115, solidarity.

lemondrop Very exciting! My H is currently an employee but dreams of starting his own business. I’m very against it for all the reasons you listed. I know it’s his dream, buuuuut he has it pretty good right now.

lemondrop Very exciting! My H is currently an employee but dreams of starting his own business. I’m very against it for all the reasons you listed. I know it’s his dream, buuuuut he has it pretty good right now. Honestly, I wish he had a partner. Or at least just a part time person. He’s so good and passionate about what he does, but it’s so time consuming and deceivingly expensive. That said, it was great while he did it. Making his own schedule was amazing when we were struggling to get pregnant and had tons of RE appts. He also loveloveloved not having to report to anyone or ask to take time off for vacation or worry about PTO. My biggest thing though would be if he ever did it, make sure your H has a current client list he can pull from immediately. H didn’t since all of the places around here have non-competes so everything had to be brand new. The marketing portion/ client acquisition has been the biggest challenge, surprisingly. Google ads and Facebook ads and the cost of building and maintaining the website/ domain, plus the amount of time spent going to meet realtors and buying their teams bagels and coffee, community events, etc. I thought I highballed all of the costs when we got started, and everything ended up being way more 😬

lemondrop, I missed your news, but if your H is stopping for sparkling juice, it must be good news! tapdancer, sorry about the reschedule. Hope both of you feel better soon. I still have just over two weeks to go, and my H has been complaining about a cold and his sinuses and now his stomach. I told him he's not allowed to breath in my space or touch me. Eames, This week was my first week off of work. A went to daycare this week full time (next week changes to only 2 days per week which is covered by the maternity leave hold fee). I took a few 3 and 4 hour naps, and completely binged the 12 episodes of Shameless from the current season. Not sure what I will do next week, but I know A won't take 4 hour naps LOL. I need to finish sorting the boys clothes. All of NB and 0-3 and half the 3 month are all in the dressers. I want to separate out the 6, 9, and 12 month stuff into separate boxes or bins or bags so it's easier to swap out sizes later on.

tapdancer, I'm so sorry to hear about the sickness. Glad you are feeling a bit better. Healthy vibes to your house. grover, I have regrets for not taking it easier this past week, napping more, etc. At least I was able to save some PTO and bill those hours. But... man. Not going to have that chance to laze about for a long time, I'm thinking. 😭
