No
Boetie still has not made his appearance! If you’re following me on Twitter or
Facebook I promise you’ll know immediately! If you aren’t then get over there
and get those follows in!
I
am officially on maternity leave. A whole week early! Technically two weeks
because I had wanted to work until the 14th December but was only
cleared by the doctor until the 10th. Then....THEN! My amazing boss
decided on the 30th November to start my leave as of the following
Monday! So I have been at home for an entire week! What is even worse is I
completely fogged out for this past week!
I definitely
work more being at home than I did at work! HAHA! I always knew SAHM’s worked
their backsides off but really I thought the whole point of maternity leave was
to rest before the baby came. Well, this is a concept my mind and body are
having troubles putting into line! It is okay though. We’ll get there!
So
here we are. My last week of pregnancy (hopefully :-]). I am 39 weeks and my
due date is officially 5 days away! I’d really hoped I would have given birth
by now as it is ridiculously hot here! I can’t imagine another day in this
heat, but I’ll keep trudging on right!!
So
where am I??
The
house is finally in order...for the most part! We still need to bring the crib
over from our parents house and set it up and my coffee table has also managed
to be left behind for some reason! Otherwise we are settled in and have fell
into a simple but effective routine. Kind of....
Lil
Mister is cutting his canine teeth. ALL FOUR OF THEM...AT THE SAME TIME! I’m
seriously going off the deep end here! Both the top and bottom on the left side
have cut through but the right side remains swollen and sore. So every night we
have a battle going in which NOTHING consoles him and I want to cry right along
with him! Normally it has been only once that he wakes. I would spend about an
hour or so of him screaming and crying and finally he would end up crying
himself to sleep in my arms. Last night it was twice and again another 30
minute battle when he woke up just to get him to realize it is time to get up
for the day!
My
poor little boy. I feel so helpless. But I’m sort of thankful that they are all
coming through at once because then it means we are done for a while! Do you
read that there<<<<<<!!!! DONE! No more teething for a
couple of years while we wait for those very back molars! HAHA SCORE!
I
wish I could say more exciting things happened this past week, but my life has
been pretty boring! Just unbelievably busy! So I’m working on a few blog
projects, cleaning like a mad woman, and spending lots of time just playing
with Lil Mister. (I let him bunk school on Thursday AND Friday :-/) This is the
last week for school in South Africa. The crèches will close as of Friday and
then Lil Mister is only scheduled to return late January or early February. I
plan to keep him home during my leave to adjust to me and Boetie. So I’m
accepting lots and LOTS of ideas for toddler activities!
As
I know I’m going to be overwhelmed between Lil Mister, Boetie and still doing
some of my work from home (oh and I have a house to take care of now lol!) I
have a few lovely ladies who will be bringing some of their spunkieness to my
page over the next few weeks! Our theme topic for my guests is “If you could be
your husband/spouse for a day....” I can’t wait to read what they’ve wrote and
hope you all enjoy it too! Please check them out when you see their posts
because believe me...you will regret not having gone to their pages! ;-)
Enjoy your Monday!
