maternity leave, part 2

The time has arrived - the moment that preggo girls dream of. Walking out of the office on Friday and knowing that you won't be back on Monday, or Tuesday... or any other day with a huge belly between you and your keyboard. Maternity leave. Aaaaah.

I decided to start maternity leave at 38 weeks to give me at least a little time to rest up and get the house in order before we bring our son home. I feel like I've been GO GO GO the past few months and I'm really looking forward to having some free days! I'm hoping for at least a week off before I go into labor to check some stuff off my to-do list. Fingers crossed!

I'm sure at least one day will be spent getting all my disability/leave paperwork in order. If someone could come up with a how-to sheet with an easy to follow diagram of when/how to apply for what kind of disability/leave at what time, I would love them forever. It's not easy. In fact, it's a nightmare.
The highlight of my last day at work was lunch with my co-workers at The Counter. It's the next morning and I'm still drooling over how good my burger was. If I had it my way, I'd have eaten a cheeseburger every day for the past 9 months.
