Woot! I finished work last weekend so today is officially the first day of my maternity leave. Seems all a bit scarily real now! Bubba is due on the 17th (13 days and counting) but I wish I know exactly when he's coming!
It feels so weird. After all these years of working, I've finally changed roles and become *gasp* a housewife! Well at least for the next 6 months. But its definitely a change of rhythm! While part of me is very glad to have stopped worked, another part of me is somewhat dazed and a little unsure of how the next 6 months will pan out.
Woke up this morning feeling totally bored. I know I still have a few things to sort and I should get to it soon in case bubba comes early. I guess its been an ideal day so far. I laid in bed until about 9 when hunger forced me up, scoffed some cookies then had to check work emails and attend to some last minute work errands (i know i know..i cant really stop working!) and then realised it was nearly 1pm and decided to stop working!
Then made some lunch, hung up some washing, did some cleaning and baked a cake! Also watched an episode of Desperate Housewives in between all that and now here I am listening to some music while bubba dances!
Tomorrow seems like its going to be a slightly busier day with doctor's appointment at 3:15 and then yoga at 5:45. I think I might drop by the cafe in the hospital for some chai latte and a slice of cake.
Every now and then, I catch myself wondering what it will be like when I go into labout, what the days will be like after bubba is born. Whether i'll get lonely, bored, upset.
I am trying to remind myself to just let go of expectations and just to take each day as it comes. I'm going to make the most of the last few days to myelf because let's face it once bubba comes, he'll be needing a lot of my attention and time.
