I officially start my maternity leave tomorrow. What a strange feeling. I am super excited that I don’t have to wake up at 5:50am every morning to go to work, how nice it would be to prop my slightly swollen feet up, and just rest. For now of course because once the baby comes I know rest won’t come easy and full time parenthood is definitely harder than full time work. I was looking forward to this for so many months, but now that it’s here it’s such a strange feeling. All I’ve known is work work work, 6 years going on 7 of working. Maybe it’s the Chinese side of me that feels like something is wrong if I’m not working. Also I keep worrying about if my work will be all messed up when I get back, which should be the least of my worries. Everyone tells me that once I’m off I won’t worry (and shouldn’t worry) about work and that is probably true. There are always going to be new changes and challenges coming up. There are so many things to do and look forward to. God has been so good and faithful to our little family. Looks like Larry and I will be moving to West Fullerton next week, and in a few more weeks our little boy will make his way into this world! So for now I say goodbye to my little cube and Mickey to welcome full time motherhood. So many changes but I say, bring it on!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liy58gc5Vw1qakerpo1_1280.jpg)
