My maternity leave has officially begun! I made it to my promised last day of work and I have to say, it's not a moment too soon. My level of patience was nearing zero, and though my good natured students took it mostly in stride, I did have several loud crabby outbursts today. They are so happy that a new teacher is coming next week;). Also, being on my feet all day was getting old. I wore my running shoes all week, after realizing that even my comfy crocs were no support when carrying around this 30 pound bowling ball tummy.
Yes, that's right. 30 pounds gained. So far. I am officially now the heaviest I have ever been in my life. And Aiden has taken to asking to be carried everywhere. Sweet. I can't imagine lugging around an extra 60 pounds will put me into early labor or anything;).
Though technically, we wouldn't be that early at this point! Because I am now officially more pregnant than I've ever been as well, since tomorrow is 39 weeks and Aiden came at 38 weeks 6 days! So it could be anytime!
Happily, I have lots of sympathy from my family members. Aiden and Niti decided to walk in my shoes the other day - they only lasted a few minutes.
I think the experience really made them appreciate what their mommies are going through;).
