Well, I have now started my maternity leave and I have to say that it’s a bit of a relief. It feels like we’re now a whole phase nearer to meeting our little girl! I love my job, but was finding that I was increasingly distracted by our impending baby (and was probably fairly distracting to have around…) - suddenly there were so many other more interesting things to think about! Baby gro sizes (which are a mine field for those of you who haven’t had a baby - early baby, new baby and tiny baby all come before newborn!), hospital bags and of course a fair amount of daydreaming! I was slightly worried about feeling bored when I finished work but I don’t think there’s any danger there - in fact, I think its going to be harder to ensure that I rest! So many people….

The first baby from our antenatal group was born on 3/7 - 8lb 8oz little girl called Mia - I’m hoping to meet her tomorrow at our weekly get together and to be filled in on all the details!

Dan has changed the website to make it easier for me to add my own contribultion, so I’m hoping to be adding quite a few posts between now and the big day - 3 weeks and 5 days (ish!) left!!
