There is a lot of waiting and somehow I thought that the time passed more quickly if I was in the office in my normal routine. Meagan was due on Wednesday, May16. I set my last date of work for Friday, May 11. Mom came in that weekend for Mothers' Day ( you were with her, right?) and then we did stuff the next couple of days until Meagan was born. With Amanda, I owned the shop at the time and I was probably in the shop the morning of the day she was born. She was a week late, so we just didn't know what to expect. Tyler's due date was December 18, and I set my last day of work for the Friday before that date. Of course, then he was late, but we were in the throws of remodeling, so I was out picking out carpet and paint in those final days. A lot of this probably depends on how tired you are and whether or not you feel like you have everything at the house ready. I still had a lot of energy at the end of my pregnancies and I had also managed to get rooms ready early, so I enjoyed working as long as I could. Definitely make a point of you and Chris going to some movies at the theater before the baby comes. You won't be able to do that for quite a while afterwards!!

I am wearing my new denim maternity shirt today! Thanks to my sister, Sally, I have a decent maternity wardrobe to carry me through several more months! On that note, I have a question for you: I am trying to schedule the next few months and wondered what your advice is on working up until the due date. Would you advise working up till the date? Or taking a couple weeks off before? -Cara Cara White Community Development Coordinator USTA Texas Section 1-888-883-6388 cWhite@texas.usta.com
