Today has been a BORING day.
I have read that once you get close to the end of pregnancy it seems to go by so slow. Each time I heard that I always thought “not me”.
My pregnancy has sped by thus far, so I was convinced that I would be different from everyone else. That the rest of my pregnancy would continue to speed by. That the day I went into labor I would think ”wow, this day came up quick”.
Not sure why I thought I was special from my pregnancy dragging on, but I thought I was.
Until today, that is.
I’m not sure what clicked in me today, but this day has been super boring. Really, one can only check email, social networks, and twitter so much. I even told Tarzan that I needed a project to work on.
I was so desperate that I even searched “crafts” on the Michael’s website, and you should know that I am not a crafty person. I don’t even particularly like doing crafts. Actually the closest I’ve come to being “crafty” is making a scrapbook.
Just one scrapbook and since I waited a few days before I wanted to give it to someone, I completed said scrapbook in 2 days. And it’s a pretty extreme and elaborate scrapbook I must say.
So the thought of scrapbooking entered my mind, but then I quickly dismissed it because I’m really behind on ordering pictures… since our wedding… which was over 1 year ago.
Plus I’d rather just sort the pictures and put them in albums instead of trying to scrapbook them all.
Then I thought that I could make something for baby T’s room, but that only lasted for a few minutes because I don’t actually know what I could make for the room. Besides the fact that there is almost no room left in the room, I would definitely not consider myself creative nor talented enough to take on a project like that.
You know, to put on display in my son’s room. No thank you.
I knew that Gap and Gymboree were both having supposedly amazing sales for baby clothes, but I feel like we already have enough clothes and I haven’t even had my shower yet. Surprisingly I’m not into buying baby boy clothes just yet. Ask me again after my baby shower and that answer might change.
I thought about running errands, but I wasn’t really in the mood to do that. Plus I’d just be wasting time doing things that I don’t really need to do. And in the hot, humid Houston weather, I might add. I’ll take a raincheck on that one.
Tarzan asked if there was anything I could do baby-wise, but there isn’t. All of his clothes are washed. The bedding is washed. The musical mobile is put together and is hanging on the crib. Everything is done for right now.
So how did I spend my day?
I did our laundry. I looked at People. I did the dishes. I played brickbreaker on my phone. I cleaned up the island in the kitchen.
I thought about writing Tarzan a cheesy dad-to-be poem for Father’s Day, but then remembered that I’m not a poet either.
I took a shower. I folded clothes. I read Lamaze magazine. Tarzan and I talked about middle names and still haven’t agreed on one. I drank lots of water. I complained. I played around with a baby site that showed that our kid was going to look like a grumpy old man, complete with no hair. I got excited for dinner. We ate dinner. We took our dog for a walk.
And now I’m blogging.
How did I go from being so fun and busy pre-pregnancy to not having a damn thing to do now? I mean, really, when did I get so boring?
I guess I’m at that pregnancy stage now. The one that I never thought I would be at. The one that, quite frankly, I hoped I’d miss because I didn’t want to become that pregnant girl.
But I am and I guess I’ll just suck it up (and try to keep busy) so that I don’t drive myself crazy. Plus, even though I’m eager to meet my little boy, I still want him to stay put until my due date preferably.
