Maternity Leave Day 2....

Ok, so we are still waiting.  That is about all I have to say.  April is not looking to promising for the arrival of Jackson.  I am thinking it is going to be May after all....so throw my prediction right on out the door.  And from the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada", "That's all!"

Day 1 of maternity leave was rather strange.  I received lots of emails from work with questions from the substitute and trying to deal with problems that came up during the day.  Then, I found myself wandering around the house aimlessly trying to figure out what to do with myself.  So, I ended up vacuuming, watching a movie, doing some more of Jackson's laundry, and I think that is about it.

Now, day 2 is drawing to a close.  I have watched 7 movies over the course of the past four days and I have 2 waiting to be watched at the moment.  So, you know what I have been doing all this time.  I installed the car seat in the car today.  That was an interesting sight.  Thankfully none of you could see me.  I was talking to a friend of mine on the phone while I was working with it and told her that if installing that car seat does not make go into labor nothing would.  It was interesting.  I am glad that we didn't wait until we got ready to come home.  Because if we did, Jackson would probably turn 1 year old and we would still be sitting at the hospital waiting to go home.  Also, today I had lunch with 4 close friends of mine so I did get out of bed and put make-up on and made my hair look presentable.  Lunch was bittersweet today.  A rather hard and emotional time.  We had to say good-bye to our dear friend, Wez today.  They are leaving Moody tomorrow and heading to North Carolina.  Their first day at their new church is Sunday, May 2.  I was so hoping that Jackson would arrive before they left for North Carolina.  We will have to save the introductions for when they visit or we get to visit them.  I don't really like to say good-bye under any circumstances but this is God's plan for them.  And I know that God understands our sadness and tears.  And on a lighter note, their moving just simply means a future road trip will have to be planned.

So, day 4 of maternity leave will lead me to meet with my friend Robbin.  We are going to get a pedicure and lunch.  Spending time with a friend, good food, and a little pampering....now that is what I am talking about.  Then, I will be heading to my doctor's appointment.  I am hoping that we will have made some progress.  More to come....
