It has been a week now since I stopped working. And yes, it's as wonderful as I had imagined it would be. I've been doing little things here and there. Still cleaning up all of the presents we got from the baby shower, and organizing everything for the baby. Trying to put up Halloween decorations around the house. Also, I still need to order the rocking chair, but I've been intentionally holding out since it is quite a big purchase. Same with the stroller.
I have to say that I feel pretty lucky for not feeling so lousy. When people find out that I have less than a month to go in my pregnancy, I get a sympathetic "how are you feeling?" look and questions. But aside from some carpel tunnel pains in my hands when I wake in the morning, it hasn't been that bad at all. Ever since I stopped working, I haven't gotten any swelling in my legs or feet, and my back hasn't been hurting too bad. It's amazing what a little R&R can do for you!
I went for my 37th week appointment today and it doesn't look like the baby will come anytime soon. Which is fine by me, for now. It'll give me some more time to get ready and yes...more time to pick out a name for the baby.
