Three More Weeks of Work

and then I’m on leave.  I can.not.wait.

Not because I don’t like my job.  I do like my job.

But because I am just exhausted.

I know I will be even more exhausted once Little One arrives.  But I won’t have to be at work, interacting on some intelligent level with other people.  I can be at home, interacting at the lowest possible level with baby and Simon. 🙂

Being 40 and pregnant is not easy.  I have asked some women I know, who have had babies in their 20s and then in their 40s, if it was harder in their 40s.  Unanimously yes for during the pregnancy.  Unanimously no for after baby is here.  They all said that they were so much more relaxed about their babies at 40, it made the whole thing easier.

So, still tired, of course, newborns are exhausting, but not quite so anxious laden.

So the end is in site.

And then the fun begins!!
