Bored.

So the last few weeks I have been dying to start my maternity leave, and have time to relax, and get things done around the house. Well, I'm on maternity leave now and I hate it. I am so bored! And as you can see in the pictures below, I am SO not getting things "ready" for the baby. When is that nesting phase supposed to kick in anyway? Haha. She isn't due until the 17th, but the Dr says my body is ready anytime, so who knows. I hate not knowing. But I have another appointment tomorrow, which I'm very excited about to see if we're getting closer! Being pregnant is getting annoying. We keep talking to her and telling her it's time to come out and meet us. But she is just so warm and cozy, and obviously ignoring us. :)

Thanks to Grma Lou for the ADORABLE pink rocking chair!!
That's the dresser that Scott refinished! His mom used
this dresser for all of her kids and babies. It turned out really cute,
and sure saved us some Washingtons. :)
Ok, I do have ONE thing ready... I've washed
all her newborn clothes, receiving blankets, and burp cloths.
Just have to load them up in the dresser now and pack her hospital bag.

Don't have her bedding done, but at least there are
clean sheets on her crib! Washed the mattress pad, the sheets,
and the sheet saver. I would have never thought to
do that on my own... thank goodness for Mother in laws!

Oh yeah.. and I'm drinking a Mountain Dew right now.

Hoping it will give me some energy to get more things done today? Haha.

THINGS TO DO TODAY:

1. Go to the bank. (Which is a REALLY weird task for me, because usually I'm working there!)

2. Install car seat.

3. Pack hospital bags. (Any ideas on what to bring? I want to pack light.)

4. Lunch w/ Vanessa @ 2.

5. Put away baby clothes & organize dresser, diapers, blankets, etc. BLEH

6. Start on baby's nursery/bedding.

7. Make some hair bows. Although my bows keep turning out retarded. I need some help. :)

8. Watch the season finale of the Bachelorette with Katie Hone & Katie Ward.. which we are VERY excited about!!

Cute baby stuff! I really like the crib. Honey...you need to get going if the Dr. Says you are ready to go any day! Yikes! That baby will be here before you know it! Good luck! I can't wait to see her! Oh, and ps....watching the bachelorette as we speak!! HA HA!

I am so like you. I couldn't wait to stop working and then hated being home with nothing to do.

People told me not to bring makeup to the hospital, but I was there for 2 1/2 days and by the morning of day 3 I was ready for my normal face! Other than that... I totally brought way too much stuff. They really have just about everything. Comfy clothes are good.
