So, I just have 6 more days of work before I start my maternity leave. I usually add, "...unless the baby comes early." However, I've decided to drop that phrase because I'm convinced that I just don't have early babies. Now, granted I'm still 2 weeks out so anything could happen. But, I'm pretty sure it won't. I'll go on maternity leave, sit around my house wondering about every ache and pain, but nothing will happen. At least I feel okay. :-) I have a ton of things to get done at work, but I'm just trying to take one day at a time and recognize that there will be lots that WON'T get done. If only I had the personality to be at peace with that....
The dr. said yesterday that I'm dilated to a 1. That's not much, but it's something! However, the flip side is that I'm 0% effaced which, come to find out, is what really gets things going in terms of labor. So, since this is my second baby, she basically said that that 1 cm of dilation could have been in effect for the last month or even two. Basically, I got nothin folks!!
I do feel like I'm at least trying to make progress in some areas that were previously stressing me out. I've paid my last payment to the hospital (that is until afterward when you get MORE bills), I got the necessary groceries to make and freeze a few casseroles, I at least got out a bag to pack even if there's only underwear and pajamas in there right now, and I scrapbooked ONE page in the baby's scrapbook. Tonight, I have to get back up in the attic to find something I forgot about and desperately need (I'll just stop there for any males reading this), and I aim to scrapbook another page. If I get those 2 things done, I think I can sleep tonight. Tomorrow, I'll deal with the fact that we still desperately need a dresser for the nursery. I can't stand the fact that the room is a mess because I have non-hanging clothes folded everywhere just waiting for a home.
Peace....
