With eight weeks to go, I am starting to sloooow down. I've developed the classic pregnancy waddle, and driving is starting to become difficult--sitting straight up or leaning forward for an extended period of time makes baby cranky, and he kicks in protest until I assume his favorite reclining position. Sleeping for more than three hours in a row is impossible, so naps during the day are essential. And while I know I have miles (and pounds) to go before the big day, the time has come to start consolidating trips and staying close to home.
Soon I'll have the nursery to focus on, and all the nitty-gritty details that come with the final countdown to baby to keep me busy. But even so, the days are long--so I've decided to challenge myself in a way that I never have before.
A puzzle.
I am pretty abysmal at puzzles. I usually don't have the patience or the spatial relation to spend a lot of time putting puzzles together. But I got one for Christmas this year, and it is now spread out on the dining room table as a way to keep my mind and my hands busy. I don't know how long it will take me to get the 1000 pieces to fit together, but I figure 8 weeks is a pretty generous deadline.
