Exciting AND scary, for sure!

Enjoy your last few days...

Yeah! What Denise said!

I am so envious that you have a job/work family you love so much.

It wasn't like that for me when I became a mom.

I can't imagine being gone a whole year. Although maybe it's not all that different than the 6 months I was out? For me, it was actually weird going back, rather than weird being gone. Now that I'm back into the swing of things, it feels like I was never gone, except that I came back refreshed and energized (once I got used to leaving those babies at daycare every day).

I cannot wait to be done with work. Mostly because I hate my job!

Transitions are always hard, but I have a feeling this one's going to be a great one for you, just as soon as the baby comes. I can't wait to what how you like motherhood! It's a crazy ride!

It does seem really weird to anticipate such a change in your schedule, lifestyle, etc.

I bet that before you know it, you will find your perfect balance...because that's the way you are. Don't you take change head-on and are organized and enthusiastic about it? Isn't that why you are so good at your job?

I can't imagine that you won't use those same

Wowsers, I can't believe you are so far along. I'm so excited that you are so close to being able to hold your baby.

I'm sure it must be weird, but you would be surprised how fast a year goes especially once the baby is here--you'll blink and it will be over. That is awesome that you get to take a year and while I know that it will be strange, in about 8 weeks you'll barely be thinking about it! :)

Wooohooo! I think you'll surprise yourself about t...

Wooohooo! I think you'll surprise yourself about the time off work thing. I can't imagine having to go back to work right now. I'm creating my own routine and Little Miss is way more fun than any work colleague (the friends I see as friends so don't miss them!)

Now does this mean I might get to see you sometime in the next 6 weeks? xoxo

Ditto on what annacyclopedia said, that is my life.

And, I know this isn't the point of your post, but what a CIVILIZED country you live in that you can start your maternity leave 6 weeks before your due date. Here in the dungeons of hell it is 40 hours a week until the day I go into labor (and my employer is considered VERY family-friendly because I get a full SIX WEEKS after

I'm excited for you - partly because I can't relate to having a job I care about so much, so I absolutely love being home, and I can't help projecting that all onto you - but mainly cause this means Tiny B is coming soon!

One of the things about being at home that I am struggling with now is trying to balance being really busy (giant to do list) and just allowing space for

I totally feel this post! I was all set to come back after 10 weeks- worked until the day I went into the hospital. But layoffs hit & I 'got' to stay home with her for 6-1/2 months. I go back in 2 weeks. It ~is~ really strange. I do miss everyone like family & I know there's going to be a big time adjustment period going back since I am not really new- but still not quite one

Canada and the 1 year of maternity leave - that's so wonderful I worked up until the last minute (worked on Friday, had baby on next Tuesday, Monday was a holiday), and went back part time 8 weeks later.

It will be different to not be at work, but don't we all fantasize about having that time off?

Wow! I can't believe how the time has flown, Bloorb! You are soon to be a mom. It is hard to wrap your mind around, I'm sure!
