At 36 weeks I took my maternity leave. My workplace arranged a lovely baby shower and I was overwhelmed with gifts and vouchers- which I have already spent! My first day off was very hard. I had lots of apprehensions on whether it is me or not to have so much time to myself, it’s not what I am used to, I like to be busy etc. Those feelings have slowly faded as I filled my days with outings and coffee visits. My best friend has been great, arranging lunches and things to do together on her days off. I have also rediscovered my need for cleaning and have cleaned so much of the house I have never even looked at before i.e. cobwebs in corners, skirting boards and kitchen cupboard doors! Apparently this is called the ‘nesting’ phase. I call it ‘get these jobs done because you won’t have time soon’ phase. It is very satisfying and I am feeling very house proud.
