Working mother while pregnant!

Working while pregnant with Kate was pretty easy I'd have to 
say.  I remember having some sickness while I was 
at work, but not too bad.  You'd think I'd have more dealing 
with other peoples mouths!! Teenage mouths for that matter! yuuck!

I worked up until 2 weeks of my due date ( I didn't want to leave but my office manager pretty much pushed me out haha), THEN had to wait until my due
date came and past, and WAIT ANOTHER two weeks for her to actually
come out! So I was still pretty big before I left, so my belly would bump patients in the head 
all the time!! Heehee!

Blueberry picking w/ my mom :)

Mariners game with Steven (groooss I am bigger them him!) WHAT!?
Oh well, he thinks I'm "cute" when I'm huge.. whatever that means right!
Looovee you babe!

But as you can see thats alot of extra weight on the back!

Being able to sit pretty much most of the day helped a lot so I didn't
have too much back pain, but sometimes being hunched over was a little hard 
at the end of the day.

My birth class teacher also gave me a bunch of stretches to do during the day and before bed, so that help a lot!

In comparison I am already bigger then last time! So I'm hoping I'll do okay
at work.  I don't want another replay of being off work so long again, 
so I plan on working again until I'm sent home :)

The office I work in is so amazing, the boss, the girls, the actual job I have to do.
Its just going to make it so much easier to deal with the hard part I think.
They are always so considerate of how I'm feeling, when I'm hungry (hehe), if and when I need a break.  I can't even imagine working in a place that didn't have such amazing people!

I know it sounds like I live here... I pretty much do! I moved here by myself and I just never really went out on my own, so all my friends are here for the most part.  They are my family :)
Aww... Seahawks dress up day!

I got flowers the other day too from one of the girls :)
I had a little pregnant hormonal episode...sorries!

Needless to say, and not to brag or anything, I have it pretty easy, and I'm soooo
thankful for that!! Otherwise I would DIE!

Now AFTER work is a different story!!!

I get off work, go pick up Kate from daycare, come home, cook, relax for a hour, then bath time, then bed time! It is non-stop!  
We are pretty much all in bed by 8:30-9pm every night, just because everyone (meaning 
me and Steven) are just soo exhausted from work.

So I really want Steven and I to make it a goal to spend a little more time with her before we go to bed each night, especially before baby comes!  Any suggestions would be awesome!  

I feel like weekends are a big issue as well. I feel like "Ahhhh.... its the weekend, I can finally relax and have me time!" WRONG! I'm still up before 8.  And its go-go-go time with Kate.

We need more sunny days for one, and then we need to find more activities for free!
 Over all though I think I handle things pretty well.. I just need to learn how to wind down from the day...I would defiantly like advice if anyone has any, on any of my issues today :)

Wow.. this is a good place to vent! Love it!
