pregnant and working - losing motivation!

I taught up until a week before I had my first son and didn't get why everybody was so surprised.

I started cutting back on substitute teaching months ago with this one and have not been working on my comps like I should. On the one hand, I wish I had some sort of concrete work to do, but there's no way I have the brain power for anything sustained right now.

Totally feel you! I've got 10 more work days and it feels like an eternity!

I feel the same and sadly I have 12 weeks to go with no option for leaving before my baby comes. If I go overdue I'm going to be so miserable. I already can't deal with the sheer physical discomfort of sitting at my desk all day (I'm such a wimp, I know it could be so much worse!).

Oh yeah, I have been there with both DSs. I worked until I went into labor with both of them but the last month I was pretty much just counting down the days until my I could go on leave!

yeah I felt that way w/ DD and I feel it again w/ this one....but I'm not even working. all the emotions have been directed at school. i've caught myself whining to DH "who cares if I graduate?" lol

I wonder if it's just hormones to keep us focused on the pregnancy.

I'm having a really hard time with this, too. Of course, I rarely feel motivated to do my job! Luckily there is quite a lot of down time where I can just pretend to be doing something.

But my biggest problem is that we also just bought our first house.

We need to get moved in, but by the time the weekend rolls around all I want to do is sleep and sit on the couch.

I'm working until I go into labor unless any unforeseen issues arise. So I just don't know when all this stuff is going to get done!

I'm 7 years older now than last time, so I'm blaming on that. On the other hand, I'm in a MUCH better postion at work, so I'm a little happier to be here. But I have such limited patience for DH and DD and all of the body aches, pains, unbalance, difficulty with stairs, sleeping, etc.
