Today is the first day of my maternity leave and I am so very happy to be done with work. It has been really hard to work the last month or two and now it’s behind me. I don’t know what I am going to do with myself, though. I have a lot to do before the baby comes. Things need to be organized and cleaned and put away. I have a few projects I have started that I really want to finish. And who knows when this baby will really arrive? I have 4 weeks to go, but she could be early or she could be late. Man, she better not be late.

As far as my projects go, I am embroidering Stitchettes again. This time, I am going to frame them and put them above the crib. I have one left to do, so I am almost there. The big project that I am sort of in the middle of/just starting is making a quilt for a friend of mine’s birthday. Her birthday isn’t until May, but I want to have it done if I can so I don’t have to work on it later (since it might not get done if I do wait). I guess those are the only things I really need to get done, but the quilt is a little daunting. Luckily, my mom is willing to help and is very motivating. She likes to get things done.

I had a baby shower last Saturday and got so much stuff! It wasn’t even that big of a shower, but there were so many cute little outfits and blankets and books and all kinds of things! It was very nice and I felt very overwhelmed and blessed. I still have my church shower to go (there were 45 people on the list to invite…that’s what happens when you go to a small church…) I can’t imagine what else I need. Very, very blessed.

Well, I will get to work now since Ethan is sleeping. Lots to do!
