Lately I have had a lot of spare time.....off work, but have managed to keep myself very busy as we wait the arrival of Baby G. I have been off CBC since December 18th, and my last day at Virgin Radio was Jan 27th.
Taking off all this time has been so great before baby comes. I know some people will work right to the very end, but i really was encouraged by friends and family who have done it before, to take the extra time off. It's the last time in life you will truly get to indulge in all the selfish things you want to do. Then when baby comes.....i am sure baby will want lots of our attention and time!
So far days have been spent in my pj's, catching up on PVR'd shows, eating, sleeping, hanging out with friends and family and finishing the nursery.
I have felt great this entire pregnancy (knock on wood) and keep waiting for it to get harder. So far nothing too challenging has come my way. Sure I get up 4 times a night to pee, have felt the occasional braxton hicks contraction and move at the speed of a sloth, but overall still feeling pretty fantabulous.
The hardest part right now is the waiting. I am very impatient, and since i am almost 39 weeks, the baby could really come at anytime....or it could take it's sweet time and come late. It's hard to plan day to day activities knowing that you could really go into labour at anytime. Would hate to have my water break in a post restaurant in Yaletown.
It's also hard not knowing the sex of the baby. I would love to indulge all my free time in online shopping, but i have so many neutral items, that i think it's wardrobe is pretty maxed out. At the same time i am so excited to find out what the baby is, and what it looks like. The hard kicks in my ribcage indicate it is a strong baby and feeling it low in my pelvis makes me think it will be tall like daddy.
If you want to leave some comments on how to fill some more of my spare time before baby - feel free.
Thanks for stopping by
Simone
