The Sabbath Day

 My mom has been trying to observe the Sabbath day on Sundays. Have you ever tried to do it? It is really hard. You think, "Oh, a day off sounds great!"  In reality it ends up you have a million things you want to get done and just seems like the perfect time to get those things done. I am terrible at it. I can usually start off well, but as the day goes on and I look around the house at unfinished projects I end up doing something not so "restful".  This Sunday was no different. I didn't even go to church and then my nesting kicked in.

We have pretty much everything we need for a baby, thanks to my hoarding skills and the fact that Mia is only two and a half. Also, a perk to not finding out what you are having is that you get a ton of gender neutral stuff. So, I washed all our newborn clothes and put them away in the dresser. I sewed a new changing pad cover. Folded and organized all the diapers, blankets, and burp cloths. Now we have everything ready for baby.

I am 36 weeks pregnant this week! Yay! (too many exclamation points?) This is when pregnancy slows down for me. I feel like it just flies and then all of a sudden I am  a month from D-day and it seems so close, yet so far. I am uncomfortable and I am pretty sure my booty can't get any bigger(yet it does). I also have my Group B Strep test to look forward to this week (so awkward).  I have scheduled most of my pre-baby pampering i.e. haircut, pedicure, etc. I am looking forward to meeting this little person so much. While I am not a huge fan of being pregnant, birth doesn't scare me and I love new babies. I know that 2 months from now I will look back at this and think to myself, "That went so quickly." but for now I will count every second of every minute of every hour of every day.

  1. You are gorgeous. And I agree, it is so hard to observe the sabbath...especially now with Lucy...but it does the soul good, doesn't it?
