2 days overdue
The baby was due on Saturday and now I am just waiting. I'm not really able to concentrate on work, so I decided to start my maternity leave today. I'm used to summer vacation and school vacation and sick days, but it is really weird to be home (and basically in good health) when everyone else is at work. I'm surrounded by kids most of the day and my desk and actual work space is in an office with 20 other teachers, so I'm used to a lot of hustle and bustle and noise. I really feel like I'm missing something. It's weird. But it was also a joy to go to the grocery store this morning (The grocery store! 8AM! Monday morning!) and not have to fight to crowds. I could get used to that.

It is weird - but you do get over it.
Yeah - the best part is being able to shop when the stores are aal yours!
If you want to put yourself in labor, I have some tried and true ideas.
1) Go for a brisk walk
2) Eat some spicy food followed by a cold beer (my personal catalyst)
3) Have Derek massage your ankles/feet
4) Drink some raspberry tea.
Good luck. Enjoy the peace and quiet. Try to stock up on sleep, knowing that in a few days your life will be upside down (in a good way) :)
Also, I will try to send you some good vibes that you have as quick and easy delivery as I did with my girls. Take care.
