Pity party

Today was my last day of work, and I was soooo excited to get home and relax. But as soon as I walked in the door SO met me with "good and bad news". He finally got the call that they are returning to work on Monday. (He is a driller and works in remote northern communities, which means he works in the winter and spring like a mad man and is laid off all summer and fall.) 

I knew this day was coming but had thought with Christmas coming so soon that they would hold off until after the holidays. He will only be gone for a week (thankfully, it's usually 3 or 4) but I'm still terrified that LO will decide to show up while he is away. My mom has offered to take the week off and stay with me which helps ease my fears of being alone in case labor happens prior to SO returning. But I am still bummed out that I finally finish work, and they pick my first day of mat leave to take SO to some tiny fly in community to do work they could have done last week. I've been trying to fight back tears and give baby "stay in there" vibes all night.

    Oh man, I'm sorry about that. I'm on mobile so I can't see when you're due, but I'll send 'baby wait till daddy comes home' vibes your way! Hope you at least get a nice visit with mom!

    I'm sorry Sad I'm going to be positive here...you'll only be in your 38th/39thish week and he's only gone for a week so just relax, let your mom come and take care of you, don't push it or over-exert in that week and I'm SURE it'll all work out perfectly....or at least I'll be hoping so. I can't even imagine how upset I'd be.
