Cabin Fever

Gone are the days where I can be satisfied just sitting around doing nothing. Today was pure torture, almost everything I wanted to get done involved a little manual labor and therefore had to wait for Stan, I couldn't go outside because our steps are icy, and I quickly grew tired of just blankly staring at the TV screen. I did get the laundry cleaned and now all I have to do is sort it all and put it away. I would make such a poor shut-in. Fortunatly my dad has offered to come down tomorrow and hang out with me (he has been craving some time away from the doggers). I was thinking we could go to the movies or something since those will be few and far between once Wyatt makes his entrance. I know that I am just stir crazy because I am so excited to see the baby and to finally get to hold him in my arms. I am also not going to lie it will be nice to be able to lay on my back again because my hips are getting super sore. I keep trying to persuade Wyatt to be born but I guess he isn't as ready as I am.
Tomorrow I am taking Sugar to get groomed so she looks all nice and pretty for us when we get home, and I have to call the pediatricians office and speak with the lactation consultants. I also have some craft projects I have been planning so I may make a trip out to Target in the morning to get all my supplies.
Work called me three times today so at least I know I am missed although it makes it all the more tempting to just go back to work until the baby is born. Perhaps if he isn't born by Thursday I will just break down and go back to work until he comes. I already miss everyone and have been thinking about how lucky I am to be hired at such an amazing workplace.

I just can't believe I am sitting here on the edge of it all about to have a baby. I don't think I have fully grasped the magnitude of it all. That at some point very soon I will be a mommy. Pretty crazy. I am lucky to have so many great people who can help me sort out all those baby questions. I keep reflecting on my own experiences with Baby Annabelle and Baby Sarah and wondering how the experience of this being my own baby will differ. I have all these amazing memories of them throughout their infant/toddler years and remember these huge breaking moments like when they first crawled, walk, spoke. Each moment was so amazing and I was so glad to be a part of it all. I just can't wait until I am a parent. I am also really excited to see Stan with Wyatt, and how he will be as a father.

It does sound like you've got a lot of things to do. That's so cute that you can have another Daddy Daughter day; I love it.
Your world is so close to changing completely. You are gonna be the best Mamma!
