One Day Left

Tomorrow is my last day of work as a teacher at St. Matthew School, then I am on maternity leave and am officially a stay-at-home mom.  I have been dreaming of this day for a long time!  It's been a challenging teaching year especially because I've been pregnant the whole year and I feel satisfied that I've made it this far.  Back in September, we had just found out I was pregnant.  Those first few months were rough, feeling sick and I had "crazy brain" which made me very emotional and grumpy...not a good combo for a 3rd grade teacher.  Nathan was still in the law school trenches, being gone most week nights.  We made it through to December, when I was feeling better and he finally graduated.  January until now has been glorious having Nathan home to help out.  I've depended on him a lot in the past few month to do the grocery shopping, make dinners and help out with Linnea.  He takes great care of us.  Now, just 2 weeks from my due date, I am on constant alert for any feelings of labor.  I've had a lot of cramping, but no real labor yet.  I have a feeling I won't have to wait until May 5th, but as Hailey says, "don't get your hopes up or you'll be disappointed when you have to wait longer."  I am not being very patient.  I am so anxious to meet Sofia.  I keep wondering what she looks like.  Will she be as active as she feels?  How will Linnea take to being a big sister?  In my mind, everything is about the baby.  I can't help it.  Soon though I will forget what it felt like to be pregnant and I'll have my hands busy caring for 2 little girls.  I can't wait!!!
