Throwing my hands up - I think I'm done working

I am calling out sick tomorrow and am debating asking to be pulled out of work at Tuesday's appt. The thought of going in tomorrow makes me want to have a mental breakdown. I feel I can't do it anymore. The only thing that makes me happy lately is laying in bed or sitting on the couch.

    Girl - you need to give yourself credit for going this far.  I know people with singleton's that stop working by now...let a lone twins.  I say its time to stop working and take it easy before the LO's arrive.  Treasure the "me" time while you still have it!!

    That is exactly when I stopped working.  The day I realized I just couldnt go in one more day.  I called out and then never went back.  I was 35 weeks also. However I then sat on the couch waiting to go into labor for the next 5 weeks.  Ultimately I was happy I wasnt working but there were days I wish I was just to get out of the house.

    Like the others have said, you've done AWESOME to have gone this long. Time to reward yourself with some rest and relaxation as much as possible before they get here is what I think! Way to go mama, and get some rest! Yes

    You are a rockstar!

    I'm in the opposite position. I'm on bed rest and working from home until 32 weeks and thinking about going back to the office once I can until I deliver.  We shall see how that plan goes...

    Do it! No one ever looks back and says that they wished they had worked more and rested less!

    I agree do it!  Taking good care of yourself these last few weeks is crucial...and I can't believe you are so close!

    I am 18 weeks and already cut hours at work from 8-6 hours and from 5 days a week to 4 and so want to be done already the bed and couch are my favorite places when I am home. So making it this far is amazing.
