I've been looking forward to my maternity leave for the past 8 months and now that it's finally here, I'm BORED!!! I don't know what to do with myself! I've watched TV, taken a nap, and folded some laundry but realizing that I still have 3 weeks until she's born makes me feel so unproductive. I guess this is about the time when the nesting phase starts to kick in, huh?
Everyone has been telling me to take advantage of this time because when the baby arrives there won't be much time to clean, cook, or even go to the bathroom. I know it's true, but I think I'm just so anxious about Alana's arrival I can't help but be extremely impatient. For those of you who have children, think about your first child and the wait that seems like FOREVER!!! It was hard to contain yourself those last few weeks, right? On top of that is the fact that I have carpal tunnel and can't even fit my wedding ring around my finger anymore. Part of me can't wait until I'm not pregnant anymore. The waddling and need to pee every 5 seconds is driving me nuts. I know I'll be busy with Alana, but it will be so worth it when she's finally here!
