Yeah, but you guys have better food. Definitely a bonus when you're preg, I think.

I'd take the better/longer maternity leave over better food!! hahahaa

I literally have everything done at the house... so we are ready for McKenna to get here... I'm thinking if I take any time off it'll be like two days so I don't sit in boredom and wait for the anticipation... that will kill me!

And about your J-O-B... dang girl.. I'm sorry you got laid off but still - you're making out pretty well if you think about it!

Yep, I'd have to agree. I had trouble being upset about getting laid off cuz I HATED that job. Every hour there felt like weeks, it was terrible.

I'm really worried about getting bored out of my mind, though, in the weeks before the baby is born when I'm sick of being pregnant and everything hurts. I'm hoping that by then I'll be so used to doing nothing that it won't feel too odd.
