As of 6pm tonight, I am officially on maternity leave. I feel like I have to defend my decision to go on leave a month before my actual due date. I'm not sure I can come up with one solid reason. I'd like to say my doctor insisted that I not stress myself out, but that would be an outright lie. I have been blessed with a complication-free pregnancy and I have nothing more than the average aches and pains. I could perhaps come up with many less convincing to the wary public reasons like: I want everything to be wrapped up at work in case I go into labor early, I want to spend time with my husband before our lives are forever changed again, I have things that I want to get done around the house, and I want a vacation.
At the moment I have a list of "to-dos." I suppose at some point it will become mostly about waiting.

I'm so excited for you both! Love the blog.
Don't feel bad about taking sometime off before the birth. I took 8 months off before Paul's birth!
