And Today Is the Last Day!

Well, if you haven't noticed the counter on my blog page today, it is now in the mode of counting down the hours left before my maternity leave begins.  I got out of bed this morning thinking to myself, I don't have to do this tomorrow morning!  Which was all the more motivation to get up and get going.  Because if you know me very well, I am not a morning person and neither is Queenie.

Speaking of Queenie, she has been so funny lately.  She has been a little more attentive to me than usual.  The reason I say that is because if you know anything about her or have met her, you will well remember that the world revolves around her and it is all about what she wants and is interested in at that moment...hence the name Queenie!  So, I find it difficult at times to convince her to sit next to me or lay next to me when I am in resting.  Lately, she has been freely coming over and wanting to be near me.  I find it kind of funny.  Because the norm is that I usually end up having to almost offer to pay her to come over and sit by me from time to time.

Well not only is today my last day at work until August but it is also another visit to the doctor's office.  Yes, I know it seems like I just went because I did.  I guess I could buy stock in the parking deck there and probably hit it big one day :).  And if I became a stock holder, I would make sure that the elevators worked properly (have you ever climbed two flights of stairs at 5:00 in the evening while 37 weeks pregnant? - that might be the way to speed up the labor process - or at least you feel that way anyway) and that there were more than 8 expectant mother's parking spots.  If you have ever been in that hospital parking deck you might say to yourself, a goofball decided how many of those parking spots would be needed.  Honestly, eight spots at a womens' center at the hospital...what were they thinking?

Don't have a clue as to what to expect to hear from the doctor today.  I have been joking around saying that for the next few weeks I am going to get in the car and drive over near the hospital between the hours of 3:00 and 6:00 and sit just in case I go into labor.  You may be laughing but during those hours, it takes twice as long to get to the hospital from our house - normally I can make it in 25 minutes but during that time of day it takes 45 minutes.  Bummer huh?  And you might wonder why I find myself a little on the anxious side.  So, I sit pondering what would be the best route to take to get there at any time of day.  I ask myself which route is going to be the fastest, etc.  And you know the truth is all that worrying may be for nothing.

Well, I guess that is all for now.  Don't really have any pictures to share at the moment.  I think that the nursery is finished, shopping is done for now, and laundry is done for now.

Just waiting.....
