maternity leave is for...

many things getting checked off the to-do list

and I've been off for a week now and I am amazed how I got anything done before

when working full time

because man, I've been busy, everyday

so here's what maternity leave has been for lately:

-catching up on masters homework

-spending time with Luna who now apparently likes me a lot more

 now that I'm not working

-decorating treat cups for our little halloween get-together tomorrow

-watching Everly move around like crazy

-learning that taking laundry out of the dryer is an art form when 

we are talking baby clothes

[my first attempt left a pretty crazy trail of little things through the house]

-having time to realize that your friends are obsessed with Skittles 

[and actually remembering to stock up for the weekend]

-picking out the perfect pumpkins

-realizing that lunch is now my main meal because by dinner 

there just doesn't seem to be any more room for a "real meal"

-taking mini road trips to see some important people before E arrives

-getting used to people saying "this is the last time I'll see you before baby time"

[which is crazy to me for some reason]

-learning that I am really picky when it comes to buying clothes for Everly

[like super picky]

there has been some resting

there has been a LOT of good sleeping

and a ton of enjoying fall

and getting so excited that our little one is coming during my favorite time of year
