Maternity Leave

So today was my last day of work and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

It's weird because for a long time all I thought about was how wonderful it would be to be off and chill, but the worries have started to set in. I have so much to do, but don't know where to start. Then there's the part in which I have to actually give birth that suddenly hit me like a brick. LOL.

I'm hopeful I have an easy labor and that it's as pain free as possible, but really I think it's mostly because last weeks strep b test went so rough that I got scared. I mean it hurt, so I can't take that out of my head... but i'm gonna have to.

Any who, what I really want to do is plan my things to do. So here's my list (in no particular order).

1. Wash my car
2. Install car seat
3. Wash baby clothes, blankets, etc.
4. Paint play room
5. Buy stroller
6. Deep clean house
7. Take daily walks
8. Go to nearby gardens/arboratums
9. Go to the beach
10. Groom the pups
11. Finish packing my hospital bag
12. Cook at home
13. Visit nearby parks
14. RELAX

I'm pretty sure there are a million other things I want and need to do, but with pregnancy brain these are  all I could remember. LOL. 

Any suggestions?

Guess Who Finally Came to Town?

LOL. I'm probably the only girl who gets super excited when this happens. Why you ask? Well, because it hardly ever comes and when it does I feel normal. I feel like the woman that I am. Even though I've got cramps, feel bloated, my boobs hurt, and I'm such an emotional roller coaster, I can't help but get excited to think that my body will finally get with it. I mean I'm 31 and I would LOVE to have a beautiful healthy baby soon..... how awesome would that be? But I gotta take it slow... one day at a time... and when God decides it'll happen. :) It will happen.

My Bucket List

Recently I found this website called Bucket List . It's pretty much a place in which you write down everything you'd like to accomplish before well, kicking the bucket. LOL. While looking at some of the items on other people's bucket lists I realized I'm not alone. Some things I really want to do while others I've been blessed to have done. So with that said, I decided to make one. It was going to be 35 by 35, but that's like tomorrow and I don't know if that's too soon! Ha ha ha! So in no particular order here goes:

1. Drive in Europe
2. Visit Europe (Italy, Paris, France, Spain, etc)
3. Have a baby. Raise a well rounded child.
4. Run a half marathon
5. Run a marathon
6. Visit the rainforest
7. Learn how to do eye make-up
8. Attain my weight goal of 128-125lbs.
9. Create an app
10. Get a college degree
11. Road trip across the US.
12. Take a break from work
