1st day of maternity leave

Day 1 of approximately 274 days maternity leave:

I am now officially on maternity leave and officially full-term today at 38 weeks.  Two weeks until the estimated due date, 20th December, and only a week and 3 days until the 16th of December which is when I dreamt she'd come :)  So curious to see if there is any truth to that.

She continues to be very active and over the weekend I had an increasing number of 'practice contractions', though so far none today . . . oh I take that back, I just had one :)

Rob and I went to our 'active birthing' class on Saturday and I think it has excited us both even more for her arrival.  At the end of the class two birthing videos were shown and we both reflected on how long it had been since we'd seen a birthing video.  Of course watching that now holds completely different meaning!

Today, I'm cleaning the house , I don't think I'm "nesting" because I'd rather be doing anything else; I'm just cooped up in the house with snow and ice outside and nothing else to do.  Maybe I'll start blogging more often too!
