15 More Hours of Paid Employment

I'm down to 15 more hours of paid employment (unless baby girl decides she wants to arrive tonight). It's pretty crazy to me. I've had a job ever since I was 15 years old (and did babysitting before that). So that's about 11 years of employment behind me. Starting tomorrow at 4 p.m. though - I will no longer be employed. I know I will still be working and being a mom but it's kind of strange that I will no longer be getting a paycheck! Everyone says that it doesn't matter because you will get paid in other ways by staying home to raise the kids. I know what they mean by that but I still think it's going to be hard for a little bit to not get a paycheck! Even though Rob and I share everything anyway - I always felt a little more justified in some of my spending because I went to work 40 hours a week to buy things. ha ha. I guess I just have some mixed emotions! Plus I've been so lucky at this job I've had for the past year and a half. They have treated me so well here and I really can't complain. I mean I'm sitting here blogging at work and no one cares. :)



In other news - today is exactly one week until this little girl is due. I'm beginning to question if she is even going to arrive on time! It seems like everyone else I know that was due in February has already had their little babies (congrats again Jess!). I've been sick this week with a nasty cold so I'm actually ok with her not making her arrival right now. But Rob is getting really excited. He calls me at least 3-4 times a day just to see if I'm having any sort of contractions. Every night he asks why we aren't eating more spicy foods too. I keep telling him that she'll come when she is ready but he thinks there should be more that I can do!
