Week 36 - Monday-Wednesday Monday 27th February-Wednesday 1st March 2006 Monday and Tuesday: Today I worked very hard on getting a load of work finished and out of the way in preparation for leaving the real world on Friday. I have reached the end of my concentration for the day now and I am awaiting some cake for a colleague's leaving treat (that'll be me on Friday!) I already have something in my diary for every day next week - so much for getting a chance to put my feet up! As well as tidying the flat and sorting out the kitchen cupboards and freezer I also have a lunch on Monday, hospital on Tuesday (antenatal) and on Wednesday (gastro) and on Thursday (taking mum for a minor op), then on Friday I'm "meeting" my sister's new guinea pig ("champagne truffles guilty as charged!") and rabbit and then rushing off to see my midwife. So before I know it I'll be 37 weeks and *gasp* FULL TERM! Wow. I just hope my waters don't break on the bus... Wednesday: I worry about the strangest things. At my work there is a tradition that when somebody leaves everyone in the building will gather around that person's desk at around 4pm to hear a short speech from their line manager, watch them open their card and presents and, most importantly, have some cake. I am kind of aware that this may be happening to me on Friday: it is after all my last day before maternity leave and my last day in my current role. And I am DREADING it. I hate being the centre of attention, I hate having to speak up in front of large groups of people, I get so embarrassed. Plus I am so hormonal I am at risk of blubbing, far too embarrassing for words. But then again, what if they don't give me a card and presents and get some cake? Well then that would be proof that everyone hates me. You see my dilemma? It's tricky being in my mind sometimes. Pregnancy wise things are getting tough. My heartburn had subsided but now it's back with a vegence. I get the heartburn and that's painful enough, but it's now followed with tightening pain in my upper chest. I had to use four pillows last night, I may as well have slept standing up! Also, I am feeling extremely tired, almost as I was in the first three months. All I want to do is lie down and sleep. Which is hard because I also have a strong instinct to tidy and sort everything in sight. As far as I am concerned the flat is a huge big mess unfit for a baby and needs to be tidied right NOW, as soon as I've just had a little snooze... So, three more days at work including today. Considering I won't be doing anything much on Friday (as it's my last day and why should I?) I should really get most stuff finished today so my desk is clear. Hmm, we'll see how it goes. Maybe update later with a progress report.
