1) It has to be planned down to the minute, only you have no clue when it's going to start! It's like God's way of saying... get prepared... you'll never be in control again! This is hard for me, I've worked really hard to have things ready for when Kaleb gets here, it sure would help me put the final touches on things if I knew when his arrival is scheduled!
2) Even though I'm the size of the side of a barn, paperwork is necessary to prove that I am indeed pregnant. Not that big of a deal... but it turns out that they (CO) also need to know the exact moment that I go into labor so they are sure to start my maternity leave at the appropriate time. I guess I'm supposed to run by CO on the way to the hospital so that they can see that I actually am in labor? Scott says I should just swallow a paper and pen so Kaleb can go ahead and fill out whatever paperwork they'll want from him the moment he arrives in the world. Again, it's very frustrating to need everything in order and not be able to take care of it until this little guy decides to make his appearance.
3) Scheduling a month and a half of lesson plans for a class I've never met (and therefore have no idea what they like/are capable of doing/etc.) is already difficult. Add to that that I have no idea who my sub is, if he/she knows how to use a computer, or if I'll even have the same sub in my room everyday.... ahhhh. Scream worthy. Thankfully I have good co-workers who are looking after me and my classes, because otherwise there is no telling what would happen to my poor classes!
4) And last but not least, I think Rebekah is going to die if I don't have this baby soon. She may not make it until September 8th even if Kaleb does!
Basically, it sure would be easier if the due date was anything other than a guess... or if the doctors could give you some sort of a timeline... anything other than... it'll be sometime between right this exact moment and 3 weeks! I'm sure it'll be fine once he gets here, but for now waiting is slightly maddening. (Falling slightly behind the madness the itchy tummy is driving me to... that still comes first!)

You should put CO on Bekah's list!! That'd be hilarious...Bekah calls Ashley, Betsy, Me & CO...HA!! You should ask which person wants to be on the list!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of swallowing the paperwork & a pen for Kaleb to fill out prior to his arrival! He is going to be a genius!
Can't wait to hear about today's dr. appointment!
LOVE (to everyone)!!
Who is CO???
ReplyDeleteP.S. Yes, I am very ready for Kaleb to get here! :)
(Ok, so selfishly I wanna hold him AND get out of working for a few days! Hehe).
