We did it! Today we finished reading the last Harry Potter book! ( Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). Last month we read the one before it, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It's been so fun to just plunk down next to each other and read! When we weren't reading we would speculate what we thought might happen next and then be even more excited to get back to the story! We are so excited for the movies and to see how they will get all that action into just a few hours. Anyone else read a good book lately?
So, we're coming pretty close to the end of our "twosome". Just 5 or 6 weeks left! Whew! I'm still feeling really good, my body has been great at letting me know when I need to slow down and take a break. For the past couple of days I've started out with great ideas of cleaning and organizing, finishing projects, starting projects and being all together industrious and fruitful. All well and good, but after breakfast and a shower I look at whatever I had planned to tackle and feel absolutely wiped out! So I chip away at it slowly, with frequent stops for a nap, a snack, or simply to stare off into space.
Today my big accomplishment was cleaning the cradle. It had been sitting on my parents basement floor, well hidden by the many other treasures down there, and it was dirty! As I scrubbed it down with a bath of warm water and vinegar I felt quite happy that I was able to do this little service for my baby. After a quick polish it is looking grand! It hasn't held a baby for more than 17 years and now it stands there, ready for duty once more! We actually have one more fix to do to it but it still looks much happier than before.
I can hardly believe that my last day of work is this Wednesday! It makes the whole labor 'thing' feel that much closer! I'm not sure what I will do with all the free time, but I'm looking forward to it.
