Finally maternity leave is here. After working 2 weeks full time to get my full time maternity pay I am on leave. Thrilled and bloody tired, my patience has worn thin and looking forward to not feeling so exhausted at night. It was worth and I am glad I made it. My daughter is also tired and was not herself yesterday (we were at home yesterday due to my appt) or today at day care she was out of sorts. She has never done full time either and it’s too much for a little one. I am glad I can afford to stay home and only work 2 days (well none now).
School had a lovely morning tea for me and gave me a $70 gift voucher. Which was lovely but I have eaten junk food all day long and feeling a bit off from it. I got some gorgeous cards from students and a nice present from one of the mums. It was a nice day and the kids were pretty excited and we had a movie and munchies afternoon to celebrate my leaving. They have are such a good class.
Pregnancy update – went to the ob yesterday and saw the midwife. She has fantastic. I have been scheduled for another ultra sound next Saturday and she gave me a referral, if I was feeling worried about bub to go to the hospital on my non appointment weeks to get fetal heart monitoring. I will only go if I am feeling worried. Over the next few weeks I have appointments and a few things to sort out before I go to hospital.
List to do;
Sort hospital bag out properly for both my daughter and I.
Put the car seat in.
Clean the car both inside and out.
Move bassinet and feeding chair into my room. Set up the bassinet and a little place for nappies and to do the night change.
Find breast pump and sort out the bottles for it.
Buy some maternity bra’s and crop tops for feeding and sleeping in.
Get a foot massage (this is top priority next Thursday when my daughter goes back to daycare).
Buy some little presents to give to my daughter daily at the end of her hospital visit so she feels happy and special to leave.
Get tax all sorted and ready to go – such a crappy job but if I get it done now at least it’s not hanging around in the back ground.
Renew my passport.
I think that is about it.
This weekend it is a long weekend. Have a great weekend.
