Another busy week has flown by. I have one more week before my maternity leave starts.. not that I'm counting (5 work days!). ;-)
We've just finished our third and final antenatal class. It was a good one - lots of practical and useful tips for after the little one arrives. It's all becoming a bit more real now.. Here's the latest bumpdate, taken today:
Definitely feeling huge and with four weeks to the estimated due date I've got all the little niggles to deal with.. including feet like this:
Not the most pleasant pregnancy side-effect but at least it doesn't hurt. Photo was taken Friday night and Saturday morning (after sleeping with my feet on pillows) - I don't even think that Friday was a particularly strenuous day!
Yesterday I washed more baby clothes. We've been doing some with each light wash (the only light stuff we have are B's shirts, so it's helped to make a full load).
Work-wise, this last week has been very busy for both of us. I headed to Aberystwyth with a team on Monday, Tuesday we ran workshops for 40 students and 8 teachers before driving back to Cardiff in the evening, Del flew down from Bangor on Wednesday morning so we could go over some handover (my maternity cover starts the Monday after I finish) and we headed to Swansea to run an evening training session, Thursday morning I was at an event in Treforest (only half an hour away), and I started sorting out my office on Friday. *phew*
Bruce was just as busy, running workshops in a Cardiff school on Monday, had a probation meeting on Tuesday, Wednesday had a sleepover group to entertain on the flight simulator, Thursday he had two science shows and workshops (and really disorganised staff/helpers), and a group of older students visited for a tour and workshop on Friday! *phew again*
Tomorrow, Prince Charles is visiting B's work, so there's all kinds of crazy security that he'll have to negotiate. But he has been invited to a gala, orchestra, choir thing (and will need to wear a suit and tie). Fancy!
More next week.
Your turn!
p.s. I've changed the comments so they're 'not G+'.. we'll see if that makes it easier to write comments when we're on mobile devices...
ReplyDeleteYou're looking great, Dayna! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your time off means you can put your feet up and relax a bit more. On my leave when I was pregnant with Os the couch and daytime TV were my best friends 😄
Bit of an exciting day for Bruce tomorrow! Hope he has fun!
Yeah, you sound so busy, I reckon some time off will be good for both you and your ankles :)
ReplyDeleteTime for lots of rest very soon. The ankles look like mine did after the long flight.Glad they went down and hopefully don't hurt.
ReplyDeleteWish we were closer for chats and help. Thinking of you all. Lots of love, Mum
