First day off

Today was my first official day off at the Y, but I still woke up worrying about something at work and had to remind myself not to worry. I did cater the YMCA board meeting, and unfortunately, I am not an expert at cooking baked potatoes. I had this elaborate plan for a wonderful baked potato bar, but my potatoes didn't get fluffy despite an hour plus in the oven. You'd think they would be easy! Oh well, I'm thankful for the extra money it brings me and the leftovers!

For some reason Joe thinks that the baby will come tomorrow or Wednesday. Not sure if he has some father's intuition or is just hoping to have an extra long Christmas vacation. His last day at school is this Friday, then he has two weeks off. I am still having Braxton Hicks contractions, lots of lower back pain, but luckily had a burst of energy today to get things done. Maybe that means we're close! The nesting instinct is certainly not a clue of labor for me, as Joe would say I've been nesting since we met. Regardless of when the baby comes though, we are ready!
