WORK! What is that?
Tomorrow I will have officially been on maternity leave for a week. You don't even know how nice this past week has been. Getting up whenever I feel like it (actually when she wakes me up), getting to use my toilet instead of the public ones at work, and eating whenever I feel like it. Most importantly, I get to work on the nursery and tidy up the house. I'm like a little kid when it comes to her room. I beg my husband to work on the room and when he says yes (like I know he will), I jump up and down because I'm so excited. I obviously don't really jump up and down considering I'm getting ready to pop. But it helps you to visualize my excitement. Well, back to not having to go to work. I'm surprised that I've been so active this week. I've been so uncomfortable and exhausted this past month that I thought I would be lazy my first week on leave. I guess it's because I know what I have to do. Technically, I could have my baby any day now and I want to be as ready as I can. So it looks like I'll be creating a routine for myself this upcoming week. This will consist of waking up whenever I feel like waking up, cleaning up the living room, kitchen, and bathrooms, and working on her room. I'll probably pee about 10 times from the time I wake up till I take my first break (sooo not exaggerating here). I always wonder how I can pee 5 minutes after I've already peed. I'll definitely be eating/snacking in between all of this cleaning. I'll probably take a nap somewhere in between as well. I don't usually like to clean but I want the baby to come home to a decent looking house. I don't know if anyone else has heard of this but I've been told that some women tend to clean excessively right before they go into labor. It's some weird nesting thing that happens. Could this be a sign? I do have only 3 weeks left. We'll see what happens.
