Staycation?

I'm officially on maternity leave from work although there is no baby yet! Because the grant that funds my position expires June 30th, I am taking leave a bit early. I have 22 days left until my due date so have some time to fill. I guess this is what you call a staycation? Instead of taking a trip with my time off, I find myself at home anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first child. I just might go crazy! I'm not one who can handle too much time away from the office without anything else to fill my time. I know, soon enough I'll have plenty to do, but in the meantime... We do have a weekend getaway planned for the 4th of July. We are taking a short trip to Council Grove to enjoy some time at the lake with our close friends. I also have a few days set aside just for pampering. I will treat myself to a massage, new haircut, and pedicure in the next week or two. I'm also scheduled to see my OB/GYN every week now, so have something to look forward to each week. So far, we have not checked for any cervical changes or progress but anticipate that we will this Thursday. Of course, as things progress, I'll keep everyone posted!
