Wow... I can't believe August 6, 2013 is finally here. It is a bit odd to have a 10 month countdown to a day with no action. Nope, there are no signs the baby is coming.
I had my last OB appointment on Thursday, August 1 and the OB said I had not dropped yet therefore have not dilated. At first I was a bit disappointed because I was hoping for some progress, but after a while I thought about it and I was more than fine with it. My last day of work was Friday, August 2 and then I just had days left to relax and spend some time with Warren. He also has a good paying seasonal job right now that only has a few days left and so the longer this baby waits, the more he can work.
I've been spending the last few days relaxing with friends, laying by the pool at my parents' house, and mainly enjoying the quiet time. If I had a dollar for each person who told me to relax and get in my sleep now, I could probably take a 2 year mat leave. I am taking the advice and I have not been doing much and my bed time is still around 9:30-10:00. Yes, I am enjoying these last few days of freedom.
Although I am enjoying the quiet time, it is odd for me to sit still. Warren thinks I won't be able to be off for a year. I think I can gladly stay off for a year, I'll just renovate the house and become super crafty! I have many ideas of things I want to do once I have the "baby routine" down. In addition, I can't wait to hit the gym hard again and that will occupy some time. As for now, I'm keeping my house clean, baking, and treating myself to some indulgences. Today I am doing a bit of shopping for home decor and then getting a mani and pedi.
It is surreal to think I'm going to be a mom in a few days. For now, it's still me and War. xoxo
