boo!

going into week 36, i suppose i should start thinking of when to start maternity leave. but i have an appointment with my gynae on monday, so i guess i'll just have a chat with him and take it from there. i'm reluctant to start maternity leave too early because i feel like i can still drive to work without any problems (the drive to and back from work isn't so bad, especially now that it's school holidays) and i wouldn't be doing much at home anyway. also, i'd rather have more time with jigglyboo after she comes out to see the world instead of wasting the time off at home, alone. after all, i do only get 60 days off from work. i was thiking that since my EDD is at the end of dec, maybe i'd just start my leave in week 39, starting from 23rd dec (which is only 3 weeks away, can you believe it?!).

don't really know how i feel at the moment - nervous and excited i guess. nervous cos i don't know what to expect and excited to finally see jigglyboo. luckily, everything else is all in place so i'm not stressed out about anything - we finished decorating the apartment and the nursery and the hospital is just across the road and i plan to ask my gynae a list of questions when i see him next week - so i'll have a bit of peace of mind. and luckily i'm not involved in any work projects at the moment (which can also be quite boring - but i've been using the extra time to do lots of extra research on baby-related stuff) so that's also one less thing to worry about.

i just hope jigglyboo doesn't spring any surprises cos i know my bday celebration is coming up; don't want R and my friends to end up bringing the cake to the hospital haha. and i'm still looking forward to the BBW sale (i need to stock up for the days that i'll be holed up at home!), just that i probably won't stay as long as i did last year. i suppose a mid-month delivery would be just nice. but hey, as long as jigglyboo comes out healthy and bouncing, i'll be more than thankful.
