Last Day of Work

Maternity Leave Begins...

Today was my last day of work! I'm definitely going to miss my kids, but the work was just too hard on me physically to keep going.  I'm not sure yet how much time I'm going to take, but I'm allowed up to 12 weeks.  I'm just going to play it by ear.  All the kids are really excited to meet the baby and they ask when she's coming every day.  They also tell me they have babies in their bellies and lift up their shirts to show me.  Today Josh (pictured above) came up to me and said, "Look, Colleen, I have a baby in my belly, too! But my baby is a boy, he has a penis!"  I'm really going to miss them...  

We had our 38 week appointment today and everything went very well. I am just about 2 cm dilated and Jaycie's head is really low. The doctor stripped my membranes, so hopefully that will speed things up.  We just have to wait and see!
