My last day of work! YIPPEE

Well I have made it, I didn't think I would but I did. It has been a long road, the sleepless nights, the backaches, the cramps, the feeling of I just don't want to be here. But as I sit here I know I will miss it. I will miss the travelling part of job, it was fun to get out and see the country. I will miss the witty banter of our all female branch, we always have a blast. I will miss the social gatherings where booze ran a plenty and I will miss the people I work with. I am one of the few who can honestly say I love my job.

But I also know I am embarking on what will start out to be the most difficult part of my life, becoming a mother. I know I am in for a whirlwind of emotions, sleepless and worryful nights, periods of time where I won't know what end is up, physical and mental pain, all on top of being responsible for a life I helped create. It is scary but I think I am ready.

Total side note - what the hell was I thinking when I bought maternity clothes? I will know better next time. I did not buy any of the pocket belly pants because I thought they were totally hidious. well they are but apparently totally necessary. I only bought the wide band ones. Well now my belly is way too big and the band folds over under the belly - but none of m y shirts are long enough to cover the belly so I have a strip of flesh that shows. I am beyond caring. I wish I would have bought a belly band that gives it the look of layering but I refuse to buy anything now. I will just know better next time.
