Another working week down

11 weeks left at work and counting. My maternity cover is now hired and due to start in November. I've handed in my MatB1 form and confirmed my leaving date (December 14th). And, after speaking with HR, I've worked out my return to work date isn't October 2013 as I first thought, but thanks to holidays and bank holidays I'll accrue: 4th November! More 'life tasks' ticked!

I also spoke with my boss this week about more working from home days and just generally slowing down as I approach my third trimester. He's very supportive and happy for me to arrange my own diary, but the hefty Q4 target is not going anywhere so I know it's going to continue to be a crazy few months.

This is probably why my blips are a little work focused at the moment. I know I'll miss it when I leave, so it's important I document the crappy, as well as good stuff to look back on. Like today: being thrown to by a client to present to a room of his peers and superiors on a project I know very little about in terms of detail. Still, even with baby brain I somehow muddled through!

I also headed home as soon as that mammoth meeting was over, so got in at a decent time. It was nice to be home in the day light and chill out, just the two of us. We (Bump and I) also listened to the first hypnobirthing CD. The jury is still out, but I'm going to give it another listen over the weekend.

Speaking of which, this is the weekend I've been counting down to: we're going to start on the nursery! Very exciting :)
