1st Day of Maternity Leave!

[mikid]

Pointless thread really, but today is my first day of maternity leave, and instead of sleeping in like i'd planned... got up at 7.30 with DH, washed up, put some washing in, walked the dog, did a bit of food shopping and had a mw check up! Feels like i'd be resting more at work!!

All went well with the midwife, good bp, clear urine, growth on track and the period type pains i've been getting she has said are due to baby being head down, not yet engaged but putting pressure on down there in preparation!

Might take it a little slower this afternoon, although saying that, I have got some other things on my today to do list, need to sort someone to come and check out the temperamental boiler, bake a cake, get a curry on the go for tonight and get the ironing done!

Hope all you ladies are having a good Monday x

Thanks ladies, even though im doing more jobs than resting, still loving being at home and not tied to any deadlines! Glad your all enjoying your time off too.

JJ mum, u must have had loads of holiday left u lucky thing!

And reych i love that im getting some me time before lil one arrives so would definitely recommend it if you can get some in without compromising too much on time you get with bubs when s/he arrives... I'm lucky enough to be able to take 12 months off so made sure some of that was for me
