I don't know how you do it...

Those of you who are working up to or close to your due date. THANK GOD I have off in the summer and a summer baby. I feel like crap. I can't sleep and after walking around for a bit start to feel crampy and every baby movement causes a new pain. I have no idea how I would manage if I was still teaching during all of this.

Seriously, those of you who are still working deserve an award.

You can mail my award to...and some cookies would be nice as well. Smile

I have to say, I'm ready to check out of this place but I'm going to be swamped for the next two weeks.

mmmm....mashed potatoes.

mziegenhein · August 2010

is it strange that after reading all of this... I suddenly want chocolate oreos with vanilla ice cream and a side of mashed potatoes with gravy??

krm0129 · August 2010

lol. I stopped working at 32 weeks and I couldnt imagine still working. I was sooo annoyed all of the time and everyone I spoke to always pissed me off... I just couldnt do it anymore

trarenee13 · August 2010

Oh the fear is setting in! It's been so nice being off all summer, but I go back to the classroom this Thursday. I'll work about 6 weeks before LO comes. I wasn't as lucky as those who were able to schedule due dates during summer time.

Yes, i will take one of these too ;P

Since you are a teacher, I was going to ask for a nice sticker! Of course, the items above sound awesome!

Well, this is my last week full-time, but baby has already dropped. I'm getting sick of work but it also keeps me distracted. I just can't bear to burn up too much more vacation time before LO arrives, but I am going to a little over half time next week until I deliver or my EDD, whichever is first.

MSC03 · August 2010

I'll be working until the bitter end--I really want to be able to stay home with LO for as long as possible, so I don't want to eat my time up at home by myself (sitting... waiting... staring at the calendar.) ;-)

chelseamillermusic · August 2010

I think I would like my award with all of the above.

coletheresar · August 2010

Working helps to keep me distracted from all of the discomfort. Having a desk job makes a huge difference! I can't imagine teaching (especially kids) and being 7-9 months pregnant, either. It would just take too much energy for both of them.

heidievans · August 2010

I spent the last two weeks (i am 9 days from my due date) teaching with my feet up and "taking it easy" only to be put on bed rest for 1 week then they will induce if she is not here yet!. I was dreading bed rest, since for me sleeping and resting is when the baby is most active! I train horses and riders to jump and was 8 months at my last 18hr a day show, but I would not have had it any other way! Thank goodness I feel better when I move! Best of luck to you!

kellyo78 · August 2010

You'd be surprised what you do when you have to do it. I'm planning on working as long as I possibly can. The nice thing is it helps keep me otherwise occupied, and I work for someone who's been very understanding (he's a father of three) so when I need to take off for "baby stuff" it's okay.

Since I got the gestational diabetes diagnosis, I will have to skip the chocolate award, but I do accept pedicures in large doses, or perhaps one of those yummy prenatal massages....

taratru · August 2010

I would like my reward in the form of someone to do all the shiit I have to do before school starts next week.

Kitiara5512 · August 2010

I wish I could accept the award but I work because I have to. If I take off before LO gets here unless I have a medically validated reason I have to either take the time unpaid, which I cannot afford, or use vacation time. And even if there is a medical reason, I only get paid 60%, so I still cant afford the time off. It really sucks. I will get to come back from maternity just in time for busy holiday season in a retail oriented call center, which means all the dumbasses who couldnt be bothered to call in for repairs at a reasonable time will all call in a couple of days before Thanksgiving.

I don't know how you do it...
