So I was hoping this whole "nesting" instinct would kick in by now. My feathers are defnitely in a ruffle but the much-anticipated "focused mania" of the third trimester has not yet arrived. And I was so looking forward to a bout of mania! Really, if I could have a mental illness, mania is really the way to go. To make matters worse, my mind is constantly compiling and prioritizing the ever growing "to do" list but my body if fighting any and all productive activity. So in case there are any willing volunteers...the following is deemed essential before the birth of this baby:
1. Clean the baseboards. Dust is cruel and it mocks me daily.
2. Use up all of the frost-bitten mystery meat that has taken up residence in our freezer. It seems to be multiplying. Hoping to make room for some of those yummy pre-made meals.
3. Make yummy pre-made meals. Scour Foodnetwork.com to find acceptable recipes.
4. Design baby announcement, purchase stamps and compile address list.
5. Find religion.
6. Try to tie up the many loose-ends that seem to accumulate when you are in a private practice. Audit charts, complete evaluations and shake down private insurance carriers that have refused to pay. It's gonna get ugly.
7. Catch up with as many friends as possible as I'm about to enter solitary confinement. If I don't see you now...till we meet again...next spring.
8. Find cute pajamas that will flatter in hospital pictures and hide any unsightly post-baby bumps and lumps.
9. Review Lamaze and Bradley techniques so that I can kick ass in the delivery room.
I know, it's quite a laundry list. It doesn't hurt to ask though, does it?
