It dawned on me that I am going to be a mommy in about a month...maybe sooner. I had two weeks off at Christmas, and while I got a lot done, it was nice to just take time for myself. I am someone who is always on the go and it is hard for me not to feel guilty when I just slow down and relax. There were several days over Christmas break that I stayed in PJ's most of the day, watched movies, played on the computer, etc. I would start to feel guilty, but then I would remind myself that these were some of the last days that I would be able to do this without any interruption. Don't get me wrong, I am super excited about Miss Sally entering the world, but it is going to be an adjustment...one that I made sure I was ready for before getting pregnant....hence waiting 5 years to start trying :)
Here are some of the things that I am enjoying right now before I am too sleep deprived to do them.
Spending way too long on Pinterest
Enjoying time....just me and Joe
Lounging around in PJ's watching old episodes of things like Laguna Beach, The Hills and Sex in the City.
What are some other things that I should be doing right now before the opportunity goes away?

The one thing we were not able to fit in was going to a movie (we couldn't find any we were dying to see). Newborns are pretty mobile so going out for dinner and over to a friend's is no problem. But out for movie night could prove difficult. From another person who is usually on the go, it has proven interesting to be at the beck and call of this little being. You can't plan and you have to know you will be late for things...but it's all worth it! Relax and give in, she is now in charge, everything else can wait. Good luck in the coming weeks and enjoy this time, the next step is awesome!
Sleep as much as possible! Haha. When Sally gets here, you will be tempted to do things while she is sleeping, but it is much easier if you just sleep when she does. :)
I think this is a great idea!
I can't believe Sally will be here so soon!!
Just what you did over Christmas break....lounging! Lay in the bed once more until 10 am. Go to a fancy dinner where there's a quite ambiance and candle lighting. Take a {not too hot} bath and read a book. Stay in there until your skin is wrinkled. Read a book cover to cover in silence....I could go on and on....haha
