My incredibly difficult day

Today was an incredibly difficult day! It went something like this -

7:30-8:30am - woke up to Isabella walking into our room. Cuddled with her for 30min in bed. Made breakfast for both of us and then woke up John so that he could take her to pre-school

8:30-9:30am - Took a nice yoga practice, meditated, welcomed in the yin

9:30-10am - Enjoyed a nice brisk walk to the acupuncturists office

10-11am - Enjoyed a lovely acupuncture session which was designed to prep me for labor and soothe my nervous system in general. Left feeling very very relaxed.

11am-noon - Walked around the city, did a couple of errands on foot, amusedly watched people spot my huge belly and think to themselves "Whoa!"

12:30-2:30pm - Took a peaceful nap with Ellie curled up by my feet

3pm - picked Isabella up from pre-school (she's there until 3pm 2 days a week, 12:30 2 days a week, does not go on Fridays). When I picked her up she was happily playing in the sandbox and did not want to leave. I told her we had to go to the grocery and she said "Ok mommie, but first can I just play here for a couple more hours? Please?" I smiled, loving the fact that she is so stimulated and happy there.

3:30pm onwards - grocery shopped, hung out in the back yard while Isabella played with the hose and Ellie ran around, cooked, ate dinner with family, put Isabella to bed, chatted with wonderful husband about his day.

As I spend these days hanging out, not working, waiting for baby to come, I have to say, life is pretty fantastic! People keep asking me how I'm feeling, keep saying that I must be tired and achy and really ready to be done being pregnant. Of course I will be thrilled to meet the baby when he or she decides to come out, but I'm really not in a rush! I'm enjoying every moment, just as it is.
