My due date is ten days away, and I’ve realized that it’s only my demanding job with an hour-plus-long commute that makes me feel desperate to give birth. I’m still really enjoying my weekends, when I get to relax and prepare. I would love to deliver this week for several reasons, but as of this moment I don’t feel like that will happen and I’m psyching myself up for another full week of work. I see my doctor tomorrow, so we’ll see what the plan is.
Yesterday I decided to document my day in pictures, and this is something I’d like to continue from time to time. So here’s what I did!
(All pictures taken with the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone. They are pretty terrible but I never claimed to be a photographer!)
9:00 a.m. – Breakfast, with a little reading on the side.
10:15 a.m. – Waxing appointment. Ouch!
11:30 a.m. – I accidentally got locked out of the house for a bit, so I took the opportunity to do some reading. :)
12:45 p.m. – Working on the blog and catching up online.
1:15 p.m. – Getting ready to go out with David. None of these clothes is maternity! A medium shirt from Gap and a stretchy skirt from H&M.
2:00 p.m. – We went and saw an afternoon showing of Super 8 and loved it!
4:30 p.m. – Working on the never-ending task of thank-you notes! I can only do a few at a time because of the difficulties I have with my hands.
6:00 p.m. – Dinner at Los Cucos with David’s family, yum.
7:30 p.m. – Watching my new favorite TV show, Secrets From a Stylist with Emily Henderson. She’s adorable (tweets and blogs, which I love) and has great ideas for the home!
8:00 p.m. – My foot gets a little love from Cleo. :)
9:30 p.m. – Reading in bed, my nightly ritual.
10:34 p.m. – Lights out!
Yesterday was a really nice day. I got a few things done, went on a few outings, and was even a little productive! Today I’ve been doing boring things like cleaning and preparing for the week, but I’m making sure to take breaks and as a bonus I have a massage this evening. :)
How was your weekend?

I know you may not feel it – but you really do. :)

You’re right, I don’t feel it, but THANK YOU for saying so! It definitely helps me feel better to hear it. :)

Oh, I just love “my day in photos” posts! This made me happy. And I agree with Ashley – you look absolutely beautiful.

From kapachino:
I love them too, so I decided I’d try it out! I only wish I could take better pictures. :) Thank you for the compliment; it is harder and harder to feel pretty these days!
From Megan:
Oh, honey. What on earth are you getting waxed? (Is that too personal to ask on a blog?)
From Stephany:
10 days until your due date?! I didn’t even realize it was so soon. I want to second the above comments – you look absolutely gorgeous!
From Becky:
I love when people do “my day in pictures” posts – so much fun! I hope this work week flies by for you so you can have another relaxing weekend to prepare – and then see a little birthing action!
From Lauren:
What a delightful day. :)
From Megan:
Sounds like a relaxing day, and that breakfast looks delicious!
From Erin @ The Speckled Palate:
You look absolutely stunning, and your day sounds like it was super relaxing and that you also got quite a few things done. I cannot believe that you’ve only got a few more days left!
From Hannah J. Holmes:
You are so close! Congratulations :) You look great and I thought the pictures were just fine :)
