Freedom

I shouldnt complain when I get to be the one to stay home & surf net the entire day..of course, there's the packing, the reading and all, but that's another story. Having stayed home for a week now with nothing really to do except wait for Baby, I have to conclude it's not as easy as it seems.

In between finishing season 4 of The West Wing, reading Supernatural Childbirth, & sorting out my iTunes songs, I managed to spend about 1k on online purchases. The comfort is that there were many items & they were cheaper. Yeah but still...i know it's unlike me...i guess my usual shopping used to be limited to available time & available energy but here I have abundance of both in the comfort of my study.

Nevertheless, I do not miss work very much... what's eating me is The Wait. Patience was never in my character & I am a woman of action...yet here I am, everyday feeling out for Baby's movements, every trip to the toilet hoping to see The Show. Every dull ache moment wondering if it's the beginning of the contractions.

Hubby & I bumped into acquaintances on Sunday. The father remarked with a laugh, better enjoy Baby when he's inside. Once he's out, you can't put him back in...They were trying to feed their toddler at that moment, & I can see why he said that, the toddler was running around refusing to eat.

So I'll take this chance to practise my patience & manage my excitement to meet my Guy.
