It's getting tougher to be me these days in my condition. Work at the preschool is so laborious, and expectations of me are still high...for a few people. I'm always bending, stooping, crouching low, lifting, walking back/forth and upstairs/downstairs, rearranging furniture, washing toys....and for a someone 34 weeks pregnant this is tough work. At seven months pregnancy (just last month) I could easily tackle this backbreaking job (and that's mainly what an assistant at this preschool does ~ breaks her back) and I liked the job criteria since I like challenging myself in using my hands on the condition that I'm healthy and not carrying another person with her support system. It's way too different and difficult now. I appreciate any help I could get, but it comes far and few between.
I'm not sure when to go on maternity leave but if I had it my way, I'd be on it now. I think I have to give my two weeks notice or something. I think I'm going to stop working on the 19th of March, maybe. Another option I could do to stretch my working hours till the weeee end is work at a much slower pace. Everyone knows I'm at the end of my pregnancy, but I feel like such a burden for them to adjust their duties just for me. My opinion of their opinion of me is probably not true, but it really feels like it.
