Officially on Leave....

My maternity leave officially started yesterday. I think my employer was expecting me to work up until Wednesday but in reality there is just no way it could have been done. Also the longer I stuck it out the more work that was piling up. We had new patients starting which means new assessments, treatment plans and papers to be filed with the Social Security Administration, Medicare, and on- and on-

Also no official decision has been made about how much time I will be taking off. Now that I have a planned C-Section I almost feel that I need the entire 12 weeks. I feel like the first 6 weeks will just be dedicated to me feeling better and taking care of myself. I truly won't know, until I am in the situation.

So here I am day two of my leave. I have been filling my time with small cleaning projects and running errands. I could come up with a long list of things to do but I am so physically uncomfortable that it would never get done.

At this point, I am at peace with the cleanliness of the house, the unfinished nursery, and the home projects left undone (or completely untouched ).

I am just ready for BABY !!
