I am sooo looking forward to maternity leave. I am incredibly tired of going to work. I want to do something more meaningful and what is more meaningful than raising and nurturing another human? I cannot wait for September. I asked for 12 weeks off and I find out this week what they are going to give me.
And of course I can't wait to meet my son. It's funny but the thing I keep thinking about is what he will look like. I just want to see his face and see what someone with my genes and my husband's genes looks like. I am so fascinated by this idea. It just seems so crazy!
Other things I am looking forward to are the baby shower in July and the birthing class. Two things I have never experienced before. And I actually have tickets to go see a NASCAR race this summer. Not sure if my body will be up for it, but I'm looking forward to it anyway. I hope the unborn baby's ears don't get blown out, it's so damn loud at races. I suppose the baby has already been to a few rock concerts and jam sessions and he didn't care, so I guess it will be ok. It's funny because two times I remember the baby moving around the most was when Black Sabbath was playing in the background. So maybe he'll grow up to like loud things.
