Well, I have to admit. I am a little apprehensive about going on maternity leave so early.I at least wanted to stay on until my eighth month, but I will be done in my seventh. I understand though. I just want to have a healthy baby. And to be really honest, it was getting so hard to be on my feet and active all day long. I would work one day and then need the next two just to sleep and recover. And not to mention my ponch was really starting to get in the way as far as bending and bumping into the counter. Plus, after a long work day, I was really tired of swollen feet and varicose veins. So I guess it's not that bad. Hey, I am greatful that at least they didn't put me on bedrest in the hospital cause then I would be losing my freaking mind. I've just gotta stay home, take it easy, and try to keep my blood pressure in check. I am awful. I haven't been very diligent as far as going every week 3-4 times to check my blood pressure at Shopper's Drug Mart. Well, with more time at home with nothing to do, I will make more of an effort. Now I need to find things to do with all my time. Don't worry, there is plenty to do. I've got Mindy's baby shower coming up, not to mention the crap load of appointments I have to go to. AND, I have to finish putting this house together. Alan was right though, lol that is how well he knows me. I am going to get bored after a few days and get a little stir crazy. I wanted to do a little painting around the house, but I don't think its safe with the fumes and stuff so I guess I will get Jay to do it. We nicked the baby's dresser in a good few places during the move, so I would like to buy some white paint and touch it up before I put all the baby's clothes in it. We set his crib up partially. I took out all of the sleepers and stuff that I bought a while ago and started folding them and putting them on hangers. Well, I should say, I tried to fold them. LOL. They are so teeny weeny, its so hard to fold them at all. I can't believe it though. I can't believe that in a few months, he'll be here. Seems like its been forever. Especially since I have been so sick. Well, I guess I started being sick from the moment of conception lol. "The end's justify the means", or something like that the saying goes. As long as he is healthy, what's a little all day sickness, eh ?
