I know that what needs to happen will happen, but still.. it is a weird thought, isn't it? I hadn't actually stopped to think about it much before we discussed it in class last week.. <br /><br />ALso re: the mini heat wave. I struggled with my 25+ weeks pregnancy so can only imagine what it must've been like at the end of your pregnany, plus with so many kids to look after! I am keeping my fingers crossed for a cool summer. Then again, I'd like you to have a sunny one to enjoy with the child once you've given birth. Perhaps the UK can have very different weather to the Netherlands ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-47372248788600047672014-05-21T17:16:54.424+01:002014-05-21T17:16:54.424+01:00Yay!!

Seven months is what works for us financially and I'm so used to thinking of it being a short time compared to a year that I forget that it's longer than lots of people get.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-22940594160415811672014-05-19T20:43:04.250+01:002014-05-19T20:43:04.250+01:00Me too, 4 days to go and I can't wait :)Me too, 4 days to go and I can't wait :)Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-33629913682333126172014-05-19T20:41:32.337+01:002014-05-19T20:41:32.337+01:00Oh yes, and children don't understand about pr...Oh yes, and children don't understand about pregnancy so of course don't give any leeway!

I'm so glad the semester is over and my baby will be here before the fall one begins. I still have 12 weeks to go (assuming he's on time), and I'm not looking forward to being uncomfortable.

Once you're doing it, all you can do is do it so it's actually in lots of ways not as bad as you expect. Don't get me wrong, I didn't find it to be a lovely experience at all, but like everyone says it does soon fade :-) And then you have a little one to cuddle so that's amazing :-) Hope it all goes really well for you!anarmchairbytheseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593618746095559894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-21766340767173619302014-05-18T21:34:32.834+01:002014-05-18T21:34:32.834+01:00Seven months maternity leave sounds AMAZING!

So, you'll be fine and you'll even forget about it as soon as it's over. :) Just relax and enjoy the last few weeks as much as you can!
