Last day of the the 4-day weekend.....

and I am feeling melancholy. I don't really want to go back to work tomorrow...who does? But I shouldn't complain too much since in a few weeks I will go on maternity leave. Not that that's a vacation by any means, but I am looking forward to not going into the same building everyday and dealing with the same bullshit over and over again.

Anyway, enough of my whining. Started freaking out a little yesterday realizing that I didn't have my hospital bage packed yet and really it is possible that I could go into labor a few weeks early and I would be utterly unprepared. So up I got to pack the bag. Gotta say, a lot tougher that I thought it would be. What outfit to bring for the baby? for me?
I pasted together a list I thought would be best for me from a bunch of online suggestion lists and this is what I've come up with:

o Folder for new paperwork
o Birth plan
o Insurance card
o # of pediatrician
o Toothbrush/paste
o Comb, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, chapstick
o Maxipads
o batteries
o hair bands
o Watch (with second hand)
o Movies to watch
o Magazine
o Outfit//blanket for baby
o Baby Sling
o Heating pad
o Underwear (2-3 pairs)
o Socks/slippers
o Bandana (to cover what could be a disasterous hair day)
o Outfit for leaving in
o PJs (button front for breast feeding)
o candy
o snacks for me and fam
o Change for vending machines
• Camera

I think it's a pretty good list. Now all Ihave to do is write the birth plan, buy snacks and toiletries, etc. Ok, I never said I wasn't still procrastinating, but at least it's a start.
