Well this wraps up my first week off on maternity leave. It was interesting and rather productive. In lieu of working, here is what I did:

  • Worked on a document about qPCR, responded to emails re same
  • Fought with computer to access network drives at work
  • Several grocery shopping trips
  • Unsuccessful search for wooden baby brush with natural bristles
  • Made will
  • Filed taxes
  • Uploaded photos from a Sunday afternoon at the Botanical Gardens (from February).
  • Doctor’s appointment
  • Went swimming (good), stretched my swim suit (bad)
  • Worked on estate docs and am currently trying to choose a suitable memorial
  • Cleaned mouse cage
  • Laundry
  • Diaper service lady came to our place and explained how it worked
  • Cooking
  • Updated cookbook
  • Naps!
  • And now I can also say … blog

Dan’s mom arrived today and we picked her up from the airport. We had the worst taxi ride ever coming back. The guy was a real smart Aleck, charged us the flat rate for central Montreal ($10 more than if he used the meter) and smoked in the van. Yes, he saw I was pregnant. I did not tip. Anyway, not sure what the plan will be for today.

At my last check up everything was still the same (except I have gained another pound). The doctor said that it’s time to convince her she should come out, but so far everything I have tried hasn’t worked. I’m really hoping not to be induced.
