Oh man I would go stir crazy! I just had my last day on Saturday and I'm 39 weeks. I joked with my coworkers today and told them I was going to work opening day tomorrow, I bartend downtown Detroit at a sports bar lol! Goooo tigers! I probably would if I wasn't under fmla lol. Hope you keep yourself busy :) nesting should be kicking in if it hasn't already. Treat yourself to something at least once a week while you're waiting too!

I only finished work so early because I have 4 weeks holiday to take first, with my son (5) I worked untill 35 weeks and had him at 37 weeks I was induced so I knew when he was coming, my mat leave doesn,t start till the 1st of may so I still got 10 months off when she gets here i,m quite lucky really xx

I wanted to work until I was at the end of 36 weeks so that I would only have 3 weeks or so to go betweeen finishing up and having baby, but the Dr signed me off at 33.5 weeks and put me on bed rest as my BP was creeping up, and I'd been admitted at 29 weeks with contractions etc, they wanted to sign me off then but I got them to hold off and now Im glad I did.     I don't sleep great at night (who does anymore!!) so I normally get up at 10am, tidy up the house til about 12 cause we just moved house at the weekend there so I'm slowly unpacking and getting things organised, then take a 4 mile walk in the afternoon with the dog which takes up a couple hours cause I'm so slow now and waddle along, then come back and prepare dinner, then have a relaxing night, or go and see friends.   Trying so hard to stick to a routine to try make the day pass a lot quicker lol.   I'm just looking forward to bump arriving so I stop worrying (I'm a ftm so double check everythign lol) x
