from 9 months to 8 weeks!

time seems to be just flying by these days. both eric and i are getting more and more anxious for the baby to come. i can't believe we only have 8 weeks left until baby's arrival.

i finalized my maternity leave dates this week. i'll be out of work starting may 18th, which gives me exactly two weeks before baby's due date, june 1st. so only 6 more weeks left of work. i plan on returning to work in early october - doesn't that sound like ages away??? what am i going to do with myself!? i have to admit, not being at work every day is kind of a scary thought to me. i am very involved and engaged while i'm at work and google has been my daytime identity for the past three years. it's going to be an eye opening experience for me being a full-time mommy. i'm getting more and more comfortable with the idea of being out as the days go by but, it's going to be a big transition for me! from being online 24/7 and talking with people all day long to nursing, being at home all the time, goo-goos & gagas. pray for me that i survive the massive changes!!

baby showers are coming up too. my co-workers are throwing me a google baby shower, hosted by jessica, anourack, and maria. thanks ladies! it's this friday and i'm super excited. my sis, kat, ivy, & tina are throwing me a baby shower for family and close friends next weekend. eric and i finally got around to doing our baby registry at babies r' us. we have yet to finish our registry at target. the last time we went there the printer was broken and for some reason they needed it in order for me to scan stuff. come on people, it's 2009 for goodness sakes.

so... how am i feeling these days? everyone seems to want to know. i'm still feeling really good. i am really starting to feel the weight pull me down and i'm finding it hard to switch from lying on one side to the other side when i'm in bed. back is hurting as usual. feet are starting to swell a little more. appetite is still good. fatigue is starting to creep back in. it sounds like a lot but honestly, i'm still feeling really good right now. eric and i are happy as clams these days and are really feeling blessed. :-)
