Good Bye WORK--HELLO Maternity Leave!

Friday was my last day of work and my office gave me the two greatest gifts: FLOWERS and a PEDICURE!!!







While I liked my job a lot, it was nice to be done. It was the absolute perfect job for me in this season of life. I sometimes am in awe of how great it was to have an absolute NO STRESS job, be able to work so close to Sam, enjoy the job and the people (minus a few crazies here and there :) and just be in a spot to recover from all the transition. I really liked my manager and felt very blessed with how hard he (and the CEO) worked to give me a good deal when I left, enabling me to not only receive maternity leave but also have a job if I need or want it when I am ready to go back to work. What made it even greater was my American friend Jen just came back from a 3 month summer in the States and I was able to get her an interview and she got my job! I was pretty excited for her and loved working with her for a week as I trained her. Plus it is just great to have her back in town and with her moving into a place a block away from us I am more excited about Summer coming and having a fun friend I connect with here again.

I had a bit of false labor on Friday at work which only made me think--the little turkey would decide to come that early....the day my maternity leave started! Which in the end would have been fine, but my midwife was out of town on Sunday so I told Max he couldn't come then, he either needed to hurry up and come or wait to start the process until Monday morning :) It never worsened, so I was all good. He is still enjoying his little gravy train inside of me as of right now. He has been kicking still...more like pushing himself all over his little room inside me. He loves the Jesus Culture CD--Consumed, which always makes me smile, and dances up a storm whenever I have it on. He is ready for Aunt Weezy and Uncle Banning's new CD to come out in November, but for now he will dance away to Consumed :)
