ANOTHER landmark reached today as my dear wife is currently halfway through her last shift at work before maternity leave.
To say she is both excited to be stopping - no more early mornings for a few weeks and no standing on her feet all day - is an understatement.
But also she is rather sad and a little nervous about going off into the great unknown, you see Pam always has to be at her work, she enjoys holidays yes but she is a worker.
I think it is the fear of the unknown as well, she has never been in this position and perhaps early nerves about becoming a mum?
We are both very excited about welcoming J into the world but nervous as well, understandable for first time parents or just us being silly?
She has made so many wonderful friends, to say they are not colleagues but friends now shows what lovely people they are and I thank them for being the people they are and for being so supportive during her pregnancy.
It's wonderful to think they will be friends beyond Pam's days in the shop, even if she does not go back.
The issue of whether she does or doesn't is totally down to Pam, I have little say in it because call me old fashioned, I think a mum should decide whether to go back to work or not.
She has carried and given birth to J, if she wants to be a SAHM then great, if she wants to go and do a few hours then great too.
It's nothing to do with me! All I hope is she has a rest and does the things she wants to do while on maternity leave
