Meeting Planner on Maternity

Well I am officially on maternity leave as of Monday. Scheduled to go to the hospital tuesday to start induction. Yes folks. I gave myself a whole day off work to relax before life takes a big fat reality check dump on me. 2 kids under the age of 2. This will be fun! I scheduled a relaxing pre-natal massage and mani pedi at my favorite spa in Houston, Trellis at the Houstonian Hotel and Spa! Seriously the best in town!!! However the morning pretty much kept me on my blackberry answering the 100 emails I had received. We just launched our biggest program registration of the year last week to Maui, I had tried to get it launched earlier so I had time NOT on maternity to get it half way wrapped up but "upper management" took forever to approve the communication. Now my team is covering the biggest registration of the year and I am out. Fun. The overall fact that it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to let go put the blackberry down and just relax I believe is some sort of addiction. Yes, I am addicted to the crackberry and even pushing a baby out is not going to stop me from asking my husband in the hospital after birth to please hand me my blackberry so I can check messages. Yes, its true. It happened with my first kid and it will happen with my second. One of my planners says she cant believe an hour after I had Brady I was emailing. But I guess as a meeting planner, the constant rush of multi-tasking multiple projects at once you are always "ON" and being off is just not in the job description. Well, we will see how this maternity leave goes and if I can try to turn it "OFF" at least a little.....next post I will be Meeting Planner mother of 2. Wish me luck!
