It's still a little hard to believe I am 8 months pregnant. I'm tired, but not too bad. I've gain weight, but not too much. Overall, I'm amazed at how great I feel and I don't mind so much small aches and pains.
In Turkey, at 32 weeks you are supposed to begin your maternity leave unless you have permission to continue working. With permission, you can keep working until your 37th week. After that, by law, you cannot work.
I think the country is afraid of babies being suddenly born.
So I will most likely work until Jan 16th - a week before our winter/semester break. I will get a total of 16 weeks maternity leave which is a big relief and something I look forward too.
It's hard to imagine what that time will be like . . . with Teoman and me, and Tolga . . . and Tolga's mom, and dad, and brother . . .
