Craving School

I swear I am not bored or anything but this evening, as I was sitting in front of my laptop drafting letters to my tenants about transferring their utilities, I heard myself utter the following: "Is it a long case? Do you need help?" DH was sitting on the other side of the table minding his business and reading a case from a humongous textbook. It was kind of an unusual question because I'd kinda sworn off helping him with any school work after I found myself typing his last term paper at 2 in the morning a couple of months ago while he was sleeping. I guess I've changed my mind ever since I found out that he got a solid 20 out of 20 on that paper. I'm not boasting or anything but in my final semester, I got 2 As and one B plus and that's with me being preggers, working full-time, going to school full-time and taking a capstone class. I just had to throw that in there. I don't know if I miss school already but I really don't mind helping with this latest paper. There's something about writing an academic paper that seems attractive to me right now. I'm sure it's against school rules but whatever, it's an interesting case about Coca-Cola.

In any case, I should probably be busying myself with more important things like getting the baby's car seat, reading up on what to do when the baby gets here like how to bathe a newborn, etc. I'm totally clueless. This weekend, my friend came over with her three year-old son and she asked me to help him in the bathroom. When he was done peeing, I asked him to clean himself with tp and he said he didn't usually. I checked with my friend and she said: "Don't you know that boys just shake off the excess pee?" I seriously didn't know that. At this point, I would be a little lost if I had a boy. Maybe the whole desire to do schoolwork is me trying to wrap my head around something that's more familiar to me. Who knows?

Don't worry, You will be GREAT when the baby gets here:)

I hear its alway like that. Helping DH sounds like a great idea to help get your mind off things. *Assuming that your mind needs to be off things*

But if you get 2 As and one B plus in your final semester + being preggers + full-time work + a capstone class .... Please, you will be fine:)

You're the cutest thing ever!! I have come to just adore your blog... You should look into writing a column or something somewhere... I can see you documenting the whole 'New Mom' experience bit in a way that tons of new moms will relate to... Really... I think you'd be GREAT at that.

Your posts ALWAYS make me smile...

Am so glad to hear you are well! Your feelings are normal, it comes with the hormonal process of nesting in preparation for the baby. I've had 3 babies and each time I felt inadequate and in awe of what lay ahead.

When it get's towards the end, dont let anxiety and anticipation get the best of you.....rest, enjoy the time before your hands are full :-)

Oh girl please! Don't stress yourself. When the time comes you'll know what to do. Trust me, I'm a mommy of 3. I was truly clueless with my first newborn. I fed her 3x a day. Mind you our daughter was forever crying and fussy, so when the nurse came to do a house visit, I told her that my baby was forever fussing and crying since we got back from the hospital. Well she asked me how often do I feed my baby (I was breast feeding), I told the nurse three x's a day and maybe four. That nurse slid her glasses on the tip of her nose and gave me a blank stare. Dead silence. I'm thinking, "what?!" LOL. Well needless to say, I didn't know any better, I was a first time mom...the nurse said to me in a low voice, "sweetie, an infant is to eat 8-12 times a day." Well you live, you learn. Sorry for the long comment. But you'll be a wonderful mom. All the baby wants is your love and your breast, lol.
