Dive In or Rest

Thank you all for the kind wishes about my new job! :) I received many congrats here, as well as on facebook, myspace and twitter (which I just recently signed up for - so, follow me and I'll follow you!). All the support and excitement surrounding the interview process and my waiting in agony has actually made this a fun experience. So, thank you again!

I find myself with mixed emotions today. It's mid-week with 4 days left until my life is completely overhauled. There are lots of things I'd like to get done before I start working, such as...
(oh goody! list time!)

• Finish Sofia's room - or at least get the crib up & start sewing the bedding
• Give the whole house a good spring cleaning
• Organize the sh*t out of my work area
• Laundry - LOTS and LOTS of laundry
• ... of course, clothes shopping

Getting these things done would take a huge load off my mind. Things that really don't need to be on my mind, clouding up my air space while I'm trying to learn my way through a whole new environment.

I constantly wonder what if Sofia comes early? Even 1, 2 weeks early. I want her room to be ready NOW just in case. You never know. I have horrible visions of my water breaking in public. How embarrassing would that be?! In these dreams, I'm apologizing to witnesses and frantically waddling to my car, while calling Jason and telling him to go straight home to set up the crib. Of course, in my dreams, nothing goes smoothly - he's missing this piece and that, can't find the right tools, and I'm in labor unable to think about anything but where the baby's gonna sleep when we get home because we haven't even picked up our old Pack-n-Play from my parents yet.

Stress much?

Back to reality for a moment...

So. Part of me wants to take the next 4 days and go over this house with a fine-toothed comb. I don't want to be coming home from work, exhausted, and still have rooms to clean & projects to finish. Not 7/8/9 months pregnant, at least. I'll have a lot more running around to do than I'm used to. Take Jason to work, Tiegan to sitter's, go to work, pick Tiegan up, pick Jason up. And since I'll be the one with the car, I expect to take on the majority of the random errand-running as well.

The other part of me wants to spend the next 4 days on the couch while I still can.

What would you do?
