This post has pretty much become redundant before I have even written it. Now that I have settled into maternity I have found that having things to do during the day has made me feel better. John was also surprised how little I could manage to do during a day. I then came up with a little mental schedule for myself which I was going to write down and decided to blog it instead. It has now got to the stage where Wednesday is going to be my last empty maternity leave pre-baby day as John then breaks up for Easter on (Maundy) Thursday. I feel I will still record what my plan was anyway and hopefully fill in a few things that I have been up to over the last two weeks.
9am wake up. breakfast. shower. read.
10am do a job from my jobs list.
11am go for a walk.
12-2pm lunch, watch, knit.
2pm read how to have a baby
3pm do a job from my jobs list
4pm fun time
5pm bake or make dinner
Today (Monday) I had two nice phone calls of about an hour. I also braved going to the cinema showing in the community centre. I almost chickened out several times but made it in eventually to watch Victoria and Abdul. Not a great film but passed the time and allowed for some eyes closed time! It was also the first day after the clocks went forward and there was a definite feel of Spring coming. I walked to Sainsbury's then the post office and then had lunch on a park bench!
Friday Had a walk to the river in the morning. Then quite a lazy time - should have had my schedule in place!
Thursday After a lazy start went in to local shopping centre and got my haircut. Had a nice jacket potato lunch at a cafe there. Then went to hang out with a friend and her two children at her house. Made scones.
Wednesday Let the plumber in to fix the kitchen tap at 8.15am - what an early start. Then drove to Newbury to pick up a parcel. Lunch at Costa near school then on to school for Parents Eve.
Tuesday Made a carrot and apple cake. Parents Eve at school in the afternoon. Big event!
Monday Got the bus into town to do a few shopping jobs and had lunch at the Nose Bag. Came home very tired.
Friday GP appointment in the morning. Made muffins. Lunch date and nature walk with friend and son.
Wednesday and Thursday. Went to Malvern. Had brunch with family.
