Anyone else just feeling done with work?

I work in a pretty busy office although the work ebbs and flows... right now there's a bit of "quiet time" (which is unusual) which is allowing me to play "catch up" on past work... but the thing is, I just feel so OVER it all...
I'm distracted, I'm uncomfortable in my chair no matter how I position myself, I've got LO poking and kicking me almost constantly, I'm peeing every 30 minutes to an hour...
I didn't work FT when I was pregnant with DD (only PT) so I don't remember this at all... I'm blessed that we live in CA and my leave will actually begin 4 weeks before my due date, so I only have 4 more weeks to go (my last day is 4 weeks and 1 day from today)... but still, I'm just... done.
Of course next week everything will pick up and get chaotic around here and then I'll be feeling done, too, but because of the stress of it all, not the insanity of it all...

Re: Anyone else just feeling done with work?
Me! I am feeling over work as well. Thats great that you get to leave 4 weeks before your EDD. I think my boss is not thrilled about the idea of me going into labor at the office so we are going to discuss me working from home after November month-end (so around Dec 4th on), which will give me almost 2 weeks at home.
I feel totally distracted at work now and have a really hard time focusing unless I am completely covered up with work. Does pregnancy ADD exist? LoL!
Yes and no. I do wake up most mornings wishing I was on maternity leave & enjoying the holidays with my new little family.
BUT I also remember how agonising the last month of pregnancy is because of the waiting, and I remember being grateful for work because it was a distraction. What else was I gonna do? Sit at home twiddling my thumbs and counting down the days? For me, work makes the last weeks go more quickly.

I am soo jealous!
YES I am also so over work, it is terrible and then I feel guilty everyday cause I am not working very hard. DH doesn't really understand either, I am not as big as some people, so I think he forgets sometimes I am pregnant and he doesn't realize the energy it seems to take. It is frustrating.
Me too! I'm just SO over my job. I've been doing the same thing for about four years now and I'm bored. Plus add to that: one of the people I supervise SUCKS. I've had to supervise a really difficult person before, but I wasn't pregnant and I had a lot more patience back then. This guy is lazy and doesn't know half the stuff we expected him to already know (he's an internal transfer). Part of me doesn't even want to come back after maternity leave, but we need the paycheck if we want to meet our goal to buy a house soon.
I'm so jealous of the Cali ladies who get a whole month off BEFORE baby. And I'm also jealous of the Canadian ladies who get a whole year off after baby!
I work for 6 more weeks (right up until a day or 2 before I will be induced- 39 weeks). I'm exhausted, but I'm kind of glad I have my job to keep me busy/distracted.
I would be a grumpy mess if I sat around on my butt all day. Plus I would probably gain a ton more weight from a sedentary lifestyle. I just get too antsy when I have nothing to do...
