I just signed a card for someone leaving on maternity leave. The second card to cross my desk today, the first one was for a woman who is off because she broke her wrist. That one was easy, being a snowboarder, I have heaps of friends with broken wrists, familiar territory.
The maternity one, I had no idea what to write. Several phrases crossed my mind, like:
Good luck, if I was you I’d be terrified
and
I’m sure it’ll all be worth it
But neither seemed really appropriate…. I settled on- god it was a few minutes ago and I’ve already forgotten… I think it was something like, “good luck, try not to miss work too much” or some such.
The thought of giving birth scared the crap out of me. Bbrrrrr.
