So here I am, with all this time on my hands, and I haven’t blogged.\u00c2\u00a0 This is the start of my third week home on maternity leave.\u00c2\u00a0 No baby yet.\u00c2\u00a0 Tomorrow is my ‘official’ due date.\u00c2\u00a0 If I haven’t had the baby by 1 week past my due date, I’ll be induced.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been spending my time leisurely unpacking and picking up things for our new home.\u00c2\u00a0 Today I purchased drapery cloth to make curtains for our three french doors.\u00c2\u00a0 Two doors open from our veranda into the living room.\u00c2\u00a0 The third french door is on our bathroom.\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t ask me why there is a french door on a bathroom (we certainly didn’t put it there), but there we have it.\u00c2\u00a0 The door does have a curtain on it, but its hideous.\u00c2\u00a0 Oddly enough, I’m finding there are advantages to having a french door on a bathroom.\u00c2\u00a0 When you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, there is enough light coming in from the hallway light that you don’t have to turn on the bathroom light and blind yourself.\u00c2\u00a0 Speaking of going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I’m not doing too bad so far.\u00c2\u00a0 Usually its only once a night that I have to go.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
I’m looking forward to having this baby but I’m also enjoying the quiet\u00c2\u00a0time to myself once the kids go off to school.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m realizing how much I need this and how much I wasn’t getting it before.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s nice.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t think it will be too bad once the baby comes; it will be taking naps, so I’ll still have some time to myself.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s been a long time since I’ve had a newborn around.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m feeling pretty relaxed right now, but I wonder what it’s going to be like getting back into that whole new world once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
