summer list

I have been meaning to blog more lately, but actually since I finished work a few weeks ago I feel like I've had more appointments than ever before! I seem to spend at least half the day out and about getting something done, the other half having a quiet sit down. I thought a list for summer might be a good way to ease back into the blog, and of course today isn't even vaguely summer-like, grey and wet, but that doesn't matter

Making: lots of lists, and slowly making progress.
Cooking: no where near as much as I should. I intend to stock the freezer but I just haven't got there yet....
Drinking: lots of soda water, my brother gave us a soda stream for Christmas and it's been really great.
Reading: recently Matt brought me Nick Hornby's Funny Girl, which I've been enjoying. I don't think it will take long finish, so any other suggestions?
Thinking: that this time between finishing work and waiting for a baby is the strangest time. I am not sure how to take it, I'm not sick but not at work, and also not really on holidays either. I know a big change is on the way, but it is difficult to anticipate what it is going to be like.
Wanting: my feet to go back to normal so I can wear shoes other than birkenstocks and saltwater sandals.
Playing: lots of Bjork at the moment, and Jamie T, and I love Feel Right by Mark Ronson and Mystikal.
Liking: the new series of Parks and Recreation, I wasn't so sure after the first episode or two but it has come together nicely. I will be sad when it finishes.
Enjoying: swimming at the pool a few times a week. I stick to the slow lane and take it easy but it feels good to get some exercise in.
Needing: to have a few more dinners out with Matt.
Wearing: what feels like the same thing over and over again! It's kinda boring when there's no point buying anything new just yet.
Buying: the last bits and pieces for my hospital bag, which is not yet packed and will probably be a last minute scrabble to get ready.
Getting: sad that the days are shorter already and knowing that we are moving to the end of summer.
Feeling: pretty good really, I cannot complain at all, but still very nervous of what is to come.
Waiting: for baby....! (two weeks, give or take, left!)

The waiting can be such a strange time ... I loved reading this article when I was waiting for Clancy to be born.

Such an exciting time for you. Do all the resting you can... you deserve it when growing a baby! And yes, frozen meals are wonderful in those first weeks/months xx
