So much time


I've been off work for a week now. Just me. No baby to take care of yet. Just lots and lots of time. I'm sort of savoring this down time, and sort of wringing my hands with impatience. How to fill the time?

So far:

I've just about finished my little baby sweater. 
I've stocked my freezer with meals to eat later, when we're exhausted and overwhelmed.
I've made lunch dates.
I've napped.
I've run a whole mess of silly little errands.
I've spent a lot of time on the phone.
I've cleaned and organized my apartment.
I've gone to prenatal yoga.
I've sat quietly, focusing with creepy intensity on my wall calendar.

Two days overdue. Little Steff Man is going to come when he's ready, and I kind of like that idea. He reminds me of me - he'll do things when he thinks the time is right, and not before. Rock on, little sweetmeat! Follow your gut! Just um, do you think you can be ready really soon?
