Hi folks! It’s a (fiiiinally) warm and grey day here in Montreal and I’m drinking some grassy herbal tea for pregnant women while looking out my window. Around this time of the day (3 or so) I start to get the “pick up the kid” itch. It’s like a magnet that pulls me toward the end of the street where Flora’s daycare is.

Work has been stop and go lately, with appointments, meetings and aches and pains “getting in the way.” Isn’t that crazy that I have been trying trying to get all of my work done before this little guy comes into our lives? I thought about it today while stuck on the couch with cramps (contractions?) – how I have been really pushing myself to finish up an extraordinary amount of work before the baby comes.

Meanwhile, my hospital stuff sits in a pile on my office floor (beside my suitcase – what the–?!) and our cradle remains buried under unfolded laundry in the basement. I realized, wait a minute! Work will wait. Work will always be there. This little guy is arriving in 2 weeks and I want him to feel welcome and prepared for. (Even though our Doula assured me the other day that all a baby really needs is a great and loving family and a couple of onesies. Check!)

So I’m going to wrap up the work that I can, send what files to print that I can, and then put work aside for a little while. I promise to keep you all posted about what’s going on, there are new summer products on the way and a line up of fun local shows in June.
But until then, you can find me in the laundry room

Bye for now,

Sandy

ps – the very very end of pregnancy is NOT that much fun is it? I kept imagining back in August when I learned I was pregnant how fun it would be to be really big in May. I would be wearing dresses, sandals, going for nice walks in the park and eating ice cream. YEAAAAHHH RIGHT.

This time around I feel much more uncomfortable and wiped than with Flora. I suspect her unbelievable amount of energy has something to do with it.

Did any of you experience a waaaay more uncomfortable pregnancy your second time around? Would love to hear about it as I’m a little bit in a state of shock.
