My first week of maternity leave is almost over and quite frankly, I dont know how I had time to work. I have been so busy with appointments and housework and cleaning that I am seriously run off my feet. Its been fun, but I am amazed at how little lazing around I have actually been doing!
Just thought I would check in with a bit of an update. I am feeling huge, but fine, and the doctor says there is no indication that the baby will come early, so I still have 2 or so weeks to go. I am sure they will fly by, but it is hard to believe that by the end of the month I will have a child! I have been stressing slightly that we are not 'ready' in terms of having the right 'stuff', but it turns out since the baby shower, we have plenty of stuff and I have nothing to worry about. Once I unwrapped and sorted everything, I realized we have more than enough clothes, nappies, lotions, wraps and the like to last me a good couple of weeks, and I am sure we will get more once bub is born! So we are fine! I am feeling really calm about the birth, so I hope this feeling stays with me and I dont start freaking out. I am quite looking forward to seeing how I deal with the wole experience. Should be an interesting and wonderful time!
The kitchen update - looks like it will be going in this weekend! All the yucky sanding and painting were done last weekend, so its just the actual fixing of the cabinets that needs to be done and it doesnt look like a huge job, so I should have my kitchen by the end of the weekend. I know it will look fabulous and I know how eager my lovely hubby is to finish it, so it will be a joy for the both of us once its done! I will keep you posted.
Thats all for now. Tomorrow my mother-in-law wants to take me shopping and out to lunch. It will either be fabulous or scary. I will let you know. We have never done anything just the two of us before, so it will be interesting. She is so excited about being a grandmother, so it should be fun enough!
I just wanted to send a big hug to Phillipa. She is a very brave and inspiring woman and I just wanted her to know that I was thinking of her!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hehe, you'll never again know how you managed to have time to work - life just gets busier and busier with a baby, but better and better too!
How exciting - not too long now - and I really hope it does fly by for you! :-)
I still don't know how I find time to work!! LOL.
You are sounding so great. I hope the next two weeks are as busy and as happy as the last one has been. It is so exciting that the next blogger baby is just about ready to meet us all :D
And you know if you are up to it, you are always welcome at the c2s dinner - baby and all!
Hope youhave a wonderful day :D
I hope you find some time to relax. I'm sure you are going to need all the energy you can muster although I'm sure with you attitude towards the birth that all will be smooth sailing! I'm a little like you though. Excited and anxiously awaiting the birth also to see just how I cope with the whole ordeal. I am a little scared though just simply because I really don't know what to expect. Sure you can read and listen to all the stories but in the end there really is nothing like going through the experience yourself to find out exactly what everyone has been talking about. Take care.

Can you send hubby over to give me a new kitchen when he's finished??? All I need is some new cupboards!!!!
I hope I can copy your attitude towards the birth - I'm not freaking out about it too much yet, but I still have a way to go so lots of time for the calm feelings to disappear.
Have a great week!
I'm so excited for you!!! I think Kate is right, life will just get busier once the baby arrives. Enjoy all this while you can!
So glad you're feeling calm and happy about all that is to come. This is such an exciting time.
Keep me posted!
