It is second day into the first week of my maternity leave & I didn't realize how hard it would be to go through my to do list! I thought I would have done much more around the house by now. But, having said that I have washed rest of baby's clothes & cooked about a week & half worth of dinners to be frozen so maybe it's not too bad.
I am just sooooo exhausted all the time! Is this normal?!
I sleep about 11 hours - broken sleep of course due to all the toilet stops & carpal tunnel pain & needing to turn & baby moving etc. But after having breakfast, I feel like going to bed again at 11am! Because of all the cooking, I didn't manage a cat nap until early afternoon but as I type this, the bed is calling me for a more substantial nap.
Til later (after the zzzzzzzzzzzzzz)....

2 consecutive good nights' sleep
Ahhh.... bliss.... Woke up with no aches, then realized that I almost had one long continuous sleep AND that this happened the previous night too! I felt so happy and full of energy, I almost felt normal. I can't help but feel this is the calm before the storm though.
True enough, when I got to work and told work mates my 2 nights of fantastic sleep, I got told this is because the baby must have "settled" and that it must be coming soon! Oh, and have I packed my hospital bag yet? Of course I haven't ... well, this is not acceptable! I must do so straight away as it is only a month before the big day and it may come any time now.
That's when I panicked a bit and proceeded to go to the shops right after work with a mental list of what I needed to buy. So what I have been putting off for the past few months which was buying the consumables (ie. nappies, breast pads, baby wipes) I eventually did. I also bought some nice lounge wear for the hospital stay which I justified as early birthday presents for myself. What I did forget to buy though which I thought was necessary was a long bathrobe. So I guess have to hit the shops one more time.
So, fingers crossed, I get lots more nights of awesome rest and that the baby will come when I'm ready too and not just when he is....
