So here I am on my second day of maternity leave and still no baby. I don't even feel uncomfortable right now. Its so weird. I feel like my body has forgotten that its pregnant and that it has a job to do to get her out of me. Sunday morning I woke up and I could see my ankles. My water weight has seemed to pretty much disappear...there's still a little bit but I feel like my body has gone back to normal minus this huge belly I have.
I went to Walmart and the check out lady said, "My you are carrying your baby high! It's a girl huh? You're going to be carrying her awhile longer!" All I have to say is thanks.
So I'm just kinda bumming around, trying to stay productive but what am I supposed to do all day? I'm not used to having this much free time. I pretty much have always gone to school or worked. People tell me I should enjoy this time because I will never have time like this again. So far I am enjoying it but just unsure on how use it all up. Yesterday I went shopping but I decided I shouldn't do that with my free time it will very quickly eat up our bank account. I bought a set of lamps for our living room, a decorative clock which I'm not sure where I'm going to put, new cookie sheets and a few other random items. We won't expose the grand total because I'm not necessarily proud of it.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted but according the walmart lady I'll be like this for awhile.
Take care friends!

Ahh...free time. I had free time once, 6 years ago. Enjoy it! Take a nap or two. Watch a movie, visit your mother, etc.
ah the waiting game... I like stacey's idea. Take a nap... hmmm... take a nap
I keep checking your blog for the update. I'm so excited for you!
agree with the above statements, take advantage of the free time to do whatever you like doing you won't get as many chances as you'd like once baby girl is here. :) good luck!
What would I do if I just had free time. I wouldn't get up until ten, eating junk food all day and then take a million little catnaps, and when Jeff came home and the house was a mess and I wasn't showered I'd say "Leave me alone, I am vegetating." At least if you did this you would have an excuse. Happy Napping
you know, tory, their are ways to help the baby come out faster ;)
It's hard waiting. Last Friday when I found out I was dilated to 3 cm all I could think of was wow, this baby is coming soon. But, now I'm thinking more along the lines, she'll come closer to her due date. (And I am hoping for that because my little guy just caught a cold.) So I guess my advice as you sit there waiting is that the closer to the due date the better...right? And I have heard that with your first baby it is very common to go a little past the due date because it takes longer to efface.
