Mat leave entertainment

sarahseita · May 2011

I have been on mat leave for all of 3 days. And I'm board! I'm supposed to be resting (mw orders). My body says rest but my mind is so board. Thankfully I've found a bunch of blogs/the bump/netflix to keep me entertained! That and some lovely visits with friends.

How are you ladies keeping yourself busy?

Oh man. Today is day 5 of my leave, I wasn't supposed to be done until this coming sunday but my doctor told me to stop early. I don't know what it's like not to work and I kind of hate it. I just want my little man here now because I have run out of things to do. I did get a massage on tuesday and had another one today but thats like an hour of my day that is occupied I don't have anything else to do ever. My FI wants me to help him do stuff around the house but I can't do anything he wants me to help with because my doctor said no (loving my doctor for that).

I've been off a week and a half. I can't say I'm resting, though. I do sleep (well, stay in bed) about 10 hours a night, but during the day, I'm keeping busy. Today I pruned my raspberries and one of our shrubs. I walked to the store and bought a few things for dinner. I finished a library book. Yesterday, I made buns from scratch and cleaned/decluttered the bathroom. In between, I watch some TV (I've got the whole season of Amazing Race to catch up on). Read my Google Reader. Play around on Facebook.

So far I've watched every episode of Medium on Netflix.

I just started my leave today I am so excited about it too!

Since the nursery is done I plan to catch up on sleep and my tv shows. I also need to go buy the baby some books and would like to make a photo album of our last vacation back in January. I am starting with a prenatal massage tomorrow and sometime next week I will get a pedicure & manicure. I just started Water for Elephants too so hopefully I can catch the movie soon.

Today was day 4 for me. I've cleaned the house, made some freezer meals, put breathable bumper in crib, did laundry, went for a walk, played with my dogs and watched TV

Today was day four for me. I have been going out during the day and getting errands done and doing things around the house just to keep busy. I organized my closet--the house has never been cleaner (except for vacuuming--I hate to do that). We have no laundry that needs to be done.

I haven't been sleeping well, so I have been going downstairs at about 4am-5am and watching The Office on netflix. I typically fall back to sleep around 6:30 to 8.

I have been searching for stationary and baby announcements online. I am hoping she comes soon!
