Today marks my first day of maternity leave!!! Metlife allows you two weeks of leave before your due date. I hemmed and hawed about taking it ( mostly due to Nana Courtney's irish guilt in the back of my head) but in the end after the advice of Anthony and mom and dad, i decided to take the time. I figured this is my last time alone unitl Jackson leaves for college....haha
Chelsea didn't let me sleep to late as she was anxious to begin her first day with having mommy home and all to herself.
I made some corn muffins for breakfast and cooked a chili for dinner to simmer in the crock pot all day. I then made a list of phone numbers and email addresses for Anthony to take with him to the hospital, we can't have our cell phones on so we need a list of numbers to call when our monkey arrives. I then started organizing the food pantry and took Chelsea for our first walk of the day, we plan to get about 3 in per day while Im home.
Now Ill probably rest for a bit and have some lunch, then start some more tasks on my list.
Sorry I don't have any updated belly shots, the camera angle doesn't get that wide any more...haha just kidding, I'll have Anthony take an updated picture to share.
I am starting to get very uncomfortable, mostly when im sitting and then stand up, the pressure feels like he is just going to fall out, if it were only that easy! I don't really sleep at all anymore but other than that Im still feeling physically good! Mentally, thats another story :-)
The other night we were able to feel every body part of Jackson through my belly, we could literally trace his back and his little bum, then we saw an elbow come out and poke daddy's hand away..I think Jackson is going to be a little bugger!!!
This week's appoitnment is on Thursday so we'll see if there any updates. Until then I'll just be a lady of leisure.
TATA for now.

Yes you should enjoy as it will be your last week of R&R for a long long time..... but thats ok, its worth it.
I don't know about you but this has been the lognest pregnancy of MY LIFE..... I can't wait to meet him.
I think he is going to be born looking just like his big cousin Callum. Since he looks like you did as a baby, especially when he makes his "FAKE CRANKY FACE",,,,,,
PUSH PISTON PUSH!!!!!!!
Only one more week for my pediction. I am dying to see who he looks like. Callum will sem so big next to him. Enjoy the rest while you can.
Congratulations on your maternity leave! Enjoy it!
I think Jackson will look like a little Anthony.
Don't worry -- you will get rest when the baby is born. Especially if he's a good sleeper like his cousin :)
I still think he is going to look like a little Anthony. Anthony start getting the menu ready.
I think he will look like both parents, But more like Anthony with his coloring. Hurry up Jackson! Grammie
