With DD I went off at 35 weeks. People said I'd be bored, but I wasn't. I was rested and organised.

With DS I got sick. I went off work 3 years ago last week at 31 and a few days. I was on bedrest though....I was B.O.R.E.D then. I totally agree with the PPs about it being nice to be able to spend time with your LO though.

I think your plan is a good one. Work is an added stress you can do without if you can afford it with so much other stuff on your plate.
