With DD I stopped working at 38 weeks. She didn't come until 41+5. I was so bored and frustrated being off for almost a month waiting for baby. However, I didn't have anyone to hang out with, lived away from family, etc.

This time around I swore I wouldn't go off super early again. But. I really want some time off before baby #2 gets here. I live up the street from my parents now and my mom is retired. I have a friend who's due in a few weeks, so she'll be around to visit. Plus I have DD to hang out with. She's in daycare but I plan to pick her up early and do some fun things just the two of us.

Why can't I have a magic 8 ball and know when baby is going to come??

When would you go off if you were me? Also important, I'm in Canada and will be taking the full year.

ETA: something else of note, DD's 3rd birthday is when I'm 38+3!
