Super Sleuth now needs to be Super Slow
February 22, 2008 by jillstephens
Well, being pregnant has finally caught up with me. I must have been in denial that it would affect my career, my learning and ability to write and present papers at Conferences, as I have had to withdraw from the ALIES Conference next month and a number of other activities. And I know my paper would have complimented the others on Web 2.0, but sometimes, some issues make you decide to slow down a bit.
Also, a very wise industry expert called me and gave me her advice, to start - well - not start, but to STOP! Stop doing everything. I appreciated that advice, as it legitimised for me that I can’t keep on doing what I used to do and that my body is now working very hard, and I need to keep my energy reserves in stock. I guess I’ll be calling on alot of that energy in less than 5 months ! Thanks for the advice! You know who you are.
So, it leaves me a bit bare with what to talk about on my blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And no smart comments from some of those cheekier readers 
Give me a bit of time to think about it, and I’m sure I’ll be back soon…however, my feet will be up this weekend!!
Jill! Good to hear that you are slowing down. I was worried that if you kept going - like I did during my pregnancy (although I don’t think my workload was still as much as you take on), you’d end up having an early bub like I did. Make the most of this time you have to put your feet up because you certainly won’t have this time for a long time once bub is here!!
Thanks Sharon, I just thought life could plough on as usual. It has been nice to take things a bit slower, and it also gives me more time to think about the impending arrival of our little one. It’s nice to hear from other Mums to see what they have gone through too.
