Progress

Things are changing. Time at work is ticking down. 21 days to go. 21 days to train another to take my job. 8 busy clinic days. I've applied for a permanent position at Cancer Care - halftime. I won't be doing this full time work with a kid at home. No way. Heck, I'm a nurse. I can get a job anywhere at the snap of my fingers. I'm not worried leaving on maternity leave with a term that will expire.

I can feel time moving. I suppose this is what they call "nesting". This weekend the baby room got painted. Pictures to be posted. It's still a work in progress. We still have a bit of time. Just over 6 weeks, but I want things to be ready before that. Just in case. So says the one who didn't think she'd even bother setting up a room for the baby for a long time. A playpen should be good enough in the beginning. So she said.

This weekend my good friends had their first baby. I'm constantly amazed and can't wait to see pictures of the wee one. Ottawa seems so far away. I've never known my friends as parents before.

Funny thing is, we're next in line! And it starts to feel close...

Believe me -- this last month or so will go very very fast -- until you hit your due date, after which it will go very very slow. I am looking forward to seeing your baby room! Luckily you have a hard working perfectionist husband who does a great job at projects such as this! Love MOM
