Another Day Closer

I can just smell fall in the air and I love it! Seeing the leaves change colors reminds me of why I love living in Indiana. It gets me so excited and anxious to bundle up my baby and take him on long walks around the neighborhood, hopefully soon.

Doubts creep into my thoughts every now and then and each time it does, someone says something to me that reminds me of how blessed I really am. It's like a nudge from a guardian angel reminding me I'm not totally alone and that I am looked after. As the days keep getting closer to his arrival, I'm going stir crazy! I can't keep still at work even though I should have my feet up to prevent more swelling. Instead, I'm running around like crazy, making to do lists, and working harder than ever. I just want to be able to wrap up as much as I can before I go on maternity leave. Even though I will still be doing some work from home, I really don't know how productive I'll be with an infant around.

After work today as soon as I got home, I did some fast cleaning before getting online. I always heard about nesting, but just thought, "Oh, I'm sure I'll do it a bit of cleaning but not go overboard on it." Wrong! There is some sort of panic that I have never experienced before where I feel like nothing is clean and all I want is for my baby to arrive in the cleanest environment possible. This feeling did not set in until now. I find that to be very strange because I thought if it did set in, it would happen right away. Okay, have run now and take some more things off of my list before it gets too late and I'm ready to crash in bed!
