The Waiting Game

The anticipation is killing me!! I really feel like my whole pregnancy has flown by. Until now. These past two weeks have gone soooo slowly. I feel like the time between now and when Baby P is born will also move in slow motion. Someone told me that once you hit that 9th month, it goes so fast from there. Lies. All lies. So here I am, someone who is not good with surprises and not all that patient, just waiting. I'm actually sort of glad that I'm still working because it keeps my mind on something else during the day. However, this past week we had a four day weekend for Fall Break. Here's some of things I could have done with my time off:

• finshing the nursery


• washing, folding, and putting awat all of the clothes, blankets, and other linens washed,


• writing thank yous


• addressing the baby announcements


• cleaning/picking up the house


• the house has been cleaned


• getting the laundry washed, folderd, ironed, and put away

Too bad ALL of these things have been done. Some of them for quite a while now. So, what's a girl to do with her extra time? Well, I decided that we would need dinner for after the baby was born. So I spent a bunch of time planning, shopping, and cooking freezable meals. I currently have four meals done, plus two boxed lasagnas and plans to add another creation of mine or two to the mix.

Our freezer isn't very big and is slowly running out of room with all of these casserole dishes stacking up. Hopefully Baby P will make his debut soon, or I will have to find a new project to take up my time (someone told me to just take the time to relax, but this is just not going to happen. Everytime I sit down to relax, the anticipation and anxiety start to drive me crazy. Better for me to stay busy at this point!)
