Mat leave - day 2

So far quite odd. Been doing some cooking, cleaning and ironing. Been online a fair bit to make sure I sit down every so often.

Really pleased we did those antenatal classes as I know quite a few people now who are off on maternity leave who are about to give birth anyday. And a few other mates are off on mat leave as well, so I've got various 'dates' for coffee etc. To get me out of the house as much as anything.

Been having quite a few twinges and cramps but they've been on and off for a few weeks now so I am doubting that they mean much, especially as I'm not convinced embie is engaged yet... He/she is sitting pretty high up. Midwife app next week so we'll find out then.

It's kind of odd really because you're waiting for something to happen but you don't know when it's going to happen, you don't really know how it's going to happen, and you don't really know if you'll know when it does happen. And you might be waiting for an hour, you might be waiting for four weeks. For someone who likes to plan and write lists, it's all just a bit freaky!

So back to the cleaning... : )

Can't wait to hear that the baby has arrived. When exactly are you due?

Enjoy the bit of time off before baby arrives. I am so ready to finish work now.
