Its hard to believe that I'm already half way through my first week of mat leave. The weather has been the ultimate reward--- +30 degrees everyday. I heard today is supposed to hit +33 or +34. And its only June 3. We could be in for a very hot summer if this keeps up. Yesterday's heat made me extremely grateful for the fact that I won't have to be pregnant through the hottest part of the summer. If this is June, and I'm already perma-sweating, then I can't imagine how brutal July & August might be! Thank goodness I only have another couple of weeks to go :)
Only 19 days til "D-day." Wow. I'm not sure its even sunk in that I will be holding a baby in my arms so soon. I mean, we've been preparing for months and counting down the days, but its still so hard to imagine what that day will be like. Plus, the reality that I still have to get through the labour part is a little daunting. Ok... so its a lot daunting :) But thankfully the excitement that continues to build as we get closer and closer, helps that part feel a bit less intimidating. Maybe that's naive. Or maybe its just positive thinking. Either way, I'm eagerly anticipating the moment when labour is a distant memory, and cuddling our little one becomes a part of every day life. I truly can't wait!

Yeah! So excited for you and honestly labor wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Hope you can relax during these last few days before he/she arrives.
It's so exciting! I can't wait to hear your news, Bonnie. Thinking of you these last few days!
As soon as the in-laws are gone, you need to run over here and sit in the kiddie pool or even better we could convince our husbands to put up the neighbourhood adult pool!
You will do GREAT! Enjoy this time with Jon...soon it will never be just the two of you again. It will be three...which is pretty fabulous! You were MADE to do this, and you CAN! You will be great! Can't wait to hear all about baby!
