30 weeks 4 days, exactly 8 weeks to go!

It's almost scary to think that in only 8 weeks I'll be a mom of two! Some days I wonder how I'll pull it all off, some days I'm afraid of what it's going to do to my son. I know he's super excited about this baby and he's been asking why she hasn't come out yet (which is really funny) but I'm also afraid that he'll feel left out, that we don't love him as much. I guess that's every mother's fear isn't it!

So I'm counting down the work days until I start my leave... 21 work days left, then I'm off until August 2011. I'm glad I live in Canada where the mat leave policy is so wonderful. It wasn't always this way, just think back to the 70s and new moms were getting only 3 weeks of maternity leave. I often wonder how they did it, go back to work so soon after having a new baby... probably why a lot of mothers then were stay at home moms I guess :)
