    Hi Iris,

    Especially enjoy the time you have with your partner and, if applicable, with your other children. Do fun things. Like with this weather, grab a spot on the terrace, put your feet up, and read a book. Just do the things you really love doing, as long as it's okay with your belly, of course.

    I've completely rearranged my living room, which is also a very nice activity. I've scored some bargains and made it cozy. Besides that, I've done some fun workshops (making cakes, bonbons). Enjoying eating out with friends and my partner, of course.

    Now I'm at the end and I'm mainly enjoying the little things.

    Have fun during your leave time!

    Now you really have time to enjoy being together with your belly:
    Painting the baby room together, browsing the market for cute clothes, I just ordered paper myself to make the birth announcements.
    I also think belly casts are so lovely!!
    One of my sisters wrapped herself from her breasts to her upper thighs in plaster (her husband did help, hehe), lay on the couch until the whole thing hardened, and then she tiled the cast with blue-and-white mosaic tiles:
    It turned out so beautiful that it's hanging on the wall in the living room!!
    Enjoy blowing in the wind at the beach and going out to eat together:
    You do need to get plenty of energy, right!!!

    I still have 7 weeks left before my leave starts. I hope to do the cleaning then. I want to do it now, but the kids are on holiday, so it would be pointless. And of course, the baby's room. Hopefully, when I'm feeling better, I'll go to IKEA and the baby shop to decorate it nicely. I also got some paper and stuff to make my baby announcement card. It's a nice distraction. Greetings and enjoy it!

    I can still work for 2 weeks and a few days, then I'm off! I really have no idea what I can do. I do have a Nintendo though, in case I get bored haha.
