still pregnant, still working...

just a vent...

I work in middle school as a reading specialist (thank god not a regular classroom) and I am SO uncomfortable. Between waddling to get my students, peeing every class period, and the endless comments from staff and kids (although it's more endearing from the students), I am D-U-N, done! It is a plus that my DH teaches right down the hallway from me. He noticed a puddle in the hallway and came to my room to see if my water broke...very cute. So glad DH has been doing the entire bedtime routine with DS. Although, I wish I had energy to do those last minute things before baby and try to keep a clean house in case she arrives. Anyone else still working? How are you doing?

    I'm a middle school language arts teacher. Everyday is such a challenge. All I want to do is teach from my desk!

    I'm a billing manager for a mid sized law firm and still working full time.  My mother is going nuts and telling me to stay home everyday.  It is getting really exhausting hearing her comments.  I keep telling her that sitting around wasting my maternity leave on TV time is not what I want to do.  I am not at a physically demanding job so why not sit at a computer.  Since my blood pressure is all good, I keep working.  At this time, I appreciate the mental distraction.

    I am a substitute teacher and last week I was in for a kindergarten teacher. Never again until after baby. 27 students. It was the worst day of my teaching career. I did however enjoy my Friday. I was in for one of my normal places and I was so swollen and beat come lunch time that the afternoon was taught from the rocking chair in the room.

    Still working! It's so hard to focus on anything other than LO tho! I just want him here already. I work 6 days a week and do about 910 hr days, by Saturday I am just beat! But if I didn't work I think I would go crazy being at home just waiting for LO. But the longer I work the more time I get with him so it's all worth it

    I'm still working full time. I'm on my feet all day and everyday I show up my regular customers and co-workers looked at me in shock and make comments like "Oh, your still here". Yes, I'm still here and still pregnant.

    I teach 4th grade.  I am working until Friday.  This past week has been very hard.  I wish I could sit down and teach too!

    I feel like I can't complain as I'm only 38 weeks right now and not even close to being overdue but I am a nurse and every minute is a struggle for me and getting harder and harder by the day. I feel your pain! GL to you. Hopefully you'll get to have your baby soon. In the meantime, just know that there are plenty of us right there with you!!

    Still pregnant and still working too... I am due on Saturday, but my DR says... "yeah right"... so I'm sure I will be here next week too.... Unlike the teachers (MAJOR PROPS!!!) I just work at a desk... but I have to tell you... working at a desk and sitting ALL day isn't that great either!! Swollen feet/ankles, and now my butt falls asleep too!!!

    Bright side to all of this............... the baby HAS to come soon, right???? :) Good luck to all of you!!!!!

    I teach students with severe special needs so we have exercise balls in the classroom.  I have been taking advantage and sitting on them whenever possible.  I don't know how much more I can take though.  Tomorrow is a teacher work day for parent teacher conferences and I will have nothing to do.  I have been pretty much ready for a couple weeks now and I did my parent teacher conferences this week to be on the safe side.  I am going to be so bored.  I hope that if I haven't had the baby by the time of parent teacher conferences my principal will let me go home or not stay the whole time since mine are all done.
