Six days before Stella

Nick was laughing so hard. We just finished with the OB-gyn at what I though was going to be our last appointment before I deliver our baby girl. The doctor thinks there's a better chance that I deliver later than earlier or on time. Nick thought it was funny that the baby could theoretically be about 8 lbs and 5 oz, while I was hoping she would be a more average 6.5 lbs. By the way, I'm 4'11", and my starting weight was about 100 lbs, and now I'm at about 133 lbs. Mostly belly. Small person, smaller frame. My friend Trisha just texted, "OMG!!! Ouch!"

Maybe it's funny. Maybe it's not. Maybe it's normal. Whatever it is, I'm trying to distract myself with this blog project. Finally got to it!

Today is officially my first day on maternity leave [rejoice!] It's scary leaving the fully-employed world, but I also now have a most important task to do: become a mommy. In order to prepare myself for that, I've written this on my journal. Of course, this was assuming my strategy would not be foiled by mother nature. You see, I started my maternity leave exactly on a 6-day countdown to my due date, which is July 2nd. If she comes on time, then I hopefully would have done everything on this list. If she comes early, I hopefully would have done most of these. And if she comes late, then I hopefully could double up on these.


Here are my goals:
One day of San Francisco (happy to report, I completed this today by taking my Mom out to see the city!)
One day of really purging and organizing: I will be installing a second car seat base in my car, and I'd love to clean my car and get ready for that. Oh, thank you notes have to be sent out too!
One day of watching anything
One day of art
One day of pampering
One day of reading


Let's see how it goes!
