Well here it is already two days into week 38! I go to the doctor every Wednesday...last Wednesday she said, "nothing happening yet", which was a relief as I wasn't quite prepared for mat. leave to begin. This Wednesday, however, I am really hoping to hear that something is happening! (as you can guess, report cards are finished and printed, cumulative folders have been updated and subplans are ready to go!) Friday, June 12 is my last day of work and my mom arrives this Wednesday. Although this is my favourite time of year at work and it breaks my heart to miss Pirate Day- I can't think of a better reason to be out of school!

Mickey and I have made an interesting observation over the last five months: people are so much friendlier to women who are pregnant! Everyone smiles, strangers ask how I feel and when we are due, I've even had cashiers at the grocery store ask if I need help carrying my bags to the car! Usually, I am barely acknowledged by the cashier as he/she talks to the other cashier about what "went down at the club last weekend". This is certainly something I will miss!

We are ready and not so patiently waiting for Paige to arrive. Mickey has finished installing the flooring and our bedroom is back together - he has only more piece of moulding to install which should be done today. We have the carseat installed but not inspected yet - that is also on today's to-do list! But other than that: the diapers are stacked, the clothes have been washed and our hospital bag is packed! So here's hoping for some news at this Wednesday's appointment ....
