Working ladies... struggling these last few weeks?

CharlieMomma · October 2012

Any other ladies struggling getting up and going to work everyday?? I am finding it impossible to want to wake up, impossible to focus, ridiculous to get get dressed...

I'm due in 3 weeks, tentative last day in about 2 and I CAN'T WAIT! I'm a waste here...ha. My temp has already started so it makes it even more difficult...

(clearly should be working, not bumping... ahhhh)

Ok, thats my whine!

I know this feeling! I've been about 5 minutes late everyday for the last week and a half due to lack of motivation. Ha ha. Thankfully my boss is understanding. Only two weeks to go!

I have 20 work days left, but who's counting. Oh right, I am.

My only saving grace is that it's my busy season, so the days do fly. It just kills me how drained I am by the end of the day, and I still have soooo much to do at home!

As of today I am right here with you.... last week I was so proud of how I DIDN'T feel that way and now all of a sudden i just keep looking at the calendar.. counting how many days of work i have left.... (as of today 10, but 6 of them are 1/2 days)... WE CAN DO IT! (But I don't WANNA)

Yes, omgosh I can't wait to go on leave! Getting ready is so hard! If any of my clothes (panties, pants, bella band) are pushing on my belly, LO tries to kick them off, seriously... weird sensation. I just want to be at home in loose clothes all day.

This girl! I am fine in the AM, but by afternoon I would much rather be sitting on my couch watching tv, which actually means I would be scrubbing my house and doing laundry(thank you nesting stage)! I can't relax at home so it is probably best I am at my low stress job all day. BUT I totally agree with the not wanting to be at work anymore!

Oh! I forgot about being late! Today I woke when I normally LEAVE. Oops

This is too funny!

It just started for me BAD this week, I had my baby shower on Sunday and all I want to do is be home organizing and putting everything away. I planned on working up until a few days before my due date because I figured I'd go nuts sitting at home waiting to go into labor but I'm beginning to think it would be better than slacking at work!

KristaNbHam · October 2012

I was that way with my first pregnancy almost EVERY day. This time, I haven't dealt with this, because DD won't let me. I took almost two weeks off before I gave birth to her because I just couldn't handle it anymore, and this time I feel like it's not even phasing me. Maybe it's because I live in a perpetual state of sleeplessness and stress.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a serious case of the "don't feel goods" that multiplied by 1000 while at work. Now I feel really good and don't mind being at work, BUTTTTT I am noticing that I'm sleeping more lately. So it's harder for me now to get up in the morning and be on time, once I'm here, it's not too bad... I just have to get here.

Luckily, my work is really understanding and they are expecting my hours to fall off a little in the next couple of weeks, like yesterday I got to work at 10AM instead of 8:45AM... or like last week, I left on Wednesday at 4:30PM instead of 5:30PM... just a couple hours here and there. Obviously, in the mornings it's to help me sleep in. If I leave in the afternoon, it's so I can use some of that remaining energy to go to the grocery store or do something significant around the house.

Im ok with getting up in the am, its walking around at work for 8 hrs that kills me. Im a nurse at a hopital and by the time my shift is half done, my pelvis feels like its going to fall out of my body. 5 more shifts......

Alondrasilva10 · October 2012

Honestly I feel great. I don't mind working up until she arrives. But then again.. I do work in an office where I don't have to be up on my feet all day. I think the only bother right now would be what I have to wear. Some of my maternity clothes are no longer fitting as nice as they used to .. but I refuse to buy more since I'm so close to my due date. So it's getting harder to dress up but other than that i am so determine to work up until I have her.

FloridaLady · October 2012

I know exactly how you feel! I can't drag myself out of bed in the morning and every time the alarm goes off all I can think about is how much more rewarding it will be to wake up to a baby as opposed to a chirping phone. I'm grossly underproductive at work and pushing deadlines way too close. I'm just ready to take my leave but I've still got five weeks to go!

LuckyMissus · October 2012

I'm struggling, getting a last few projects in, but it's tough!

BarooGirl · October 2012

How are you ladies sleeping in? Seriously, I am jealous.

I have noticed my sleeping is getting better and I am not having to get up at the 3 o clock pee.

I am still working and doing OK in the mornings but come 2:00, I am done and want to go home.

143BabyCakes · October 2012

I absolutely love my job, I have the best boss, and the best co-workers...but I do NOT want to be here. I want to be at home enjoying my last moments of peace and quiet. I want to use the energy I waste at work on getting things done at home, because by the end of the day I do not feel like doing anything but sleeping. Counting down the weeks...

I made it all the way to 5am this morning and was SO excited (and a lil proud of myself)!! HA!

xxaliciaxx · October 2012

Agreed. My last day is November 2nd, and I can't wait. Its just to hard to get going inthe morning. I am hot and swaeting all my makeup off before breakfast and getting in and out of my truck is getting harder.

QuintonsMummah · October 2012

18 work days left, if I don't go into labor earlier. I'm making a countdown contraption today to have fun with it.

tasiaceleste · October 2012

Next week is my last full week! Exciting, but it's not helping me get through my 15 hour day today. That's right, 6 AM to 9 PM today. BOO.

AnnieH32 · October 2012

I've felt this way for months. Just do not want to be at work anymore and can't get motivated. It's especially bad this week, since I am sick on top of it and have even less energy than usual. I am not sure what I will do if this baby does not make an appearance by Thanksgiving. I just can't fathom going back to work after that, but don't want to use the vacation days to stay home that I would rather have for after the baby arrives.

this!! I feel like I can't even begin to feel like nesting because I am too dang tired after I get home from work!

Wanda Star · October 2012

This week should be my last, i've been dreading every day! Friday cannot come any sooner
