Less than 1 month


It's May long weekend at last! I love my long weekends even more than I love regular weekends! E is over at the house working away on our renovations. I'm here at our apartmetn pacing myself for a day of cleaning, laundry, baking, and putting my thesis proposal presentation together.
I have finally completed my thesis proposal, my committee is meeting to hopefully approve it on May 27th when I have to do a 20-25 minute presentation on it. My fingers are crossed & I'm knocking on wood because if they don't approve it, I am unlikely to be able to get anything more done until sometime after the baby comes (August most likely). I'd prefer to have my project ready to start as soon as I feel ready to start it.
I had been planning to work right up until June 6th but am now pretty sure that I'd like to start my maternity leave on May 30th instead. I'm just too tired by the time I get home from work to really do anything in the evenings and I don't want to be completely exhausted before the baby even comes.
Plus we aren't quite ready for our little tyke yet. We haven't made baby space in the office, we don't have bed yet, no diapers, no sheets, none of the clothes are washed and ready, I don't have my 'hostpital bag' packed. If this baby comes early we'll really be scrambling!
