Spring Break and Maternity Leave!

Yesterday was my last day of work for the year, can you believe it?!  Today was my official first day of spring break, and really, of my maternity leave too!  I'd been soooo busy at work preparing for my long-term sub to take over.  I was finishing up IEPs and lesson plans for the last 10 weeks of school that I won't be there for.  It was so stressful, and I'm so glad it's over so now I can finally relax and focus on getting ready for the baby to come.  Actually, that's a lie.  I still have 2 classes that I'm taking at CSUF to clear my credential, but at least I can do all the course work from home and just attend the classes online.  Still a lot of work, but at least I don't have to go to work too.

Anyways, yesterday was a great day because after work, my friend Piyada treated me to a pregnancy massage at Bellagio Spa in Irvine!   She had asked me earlier on in the week if I had any plans after school on Friday.  Since I didn't, she made reservations at the spa for both of us to get massages.  I was SOOO surprised!  She kept telling me that she wanted to make up for not being able to make it to my baby shower at work.  Oh my goodness!  This definitely more than made up for that!  I haven't been to a spa in forever...and I know my body definitely needed it.  After our massages, we went to Zov's (a nearby restaurant) to get a bite to eat.  What a great way to get spring break started!



Today, Michael did not have work, so we did some nesting.  :)

We cleaned out both of our cars, put together the stroller, installed the car seat bases, and even washed, folded and put away some of the baby's clothes and blankets.  Tomorrow, we've got more cleaning to do, but it's exciting because the baby's room looks just about ready!  Clothes are washed and put away and all the furniture is set up.  All that's left is to finish organizing her closet, and washing her sheets and putting them on the crib.  It all looks so cute!  I'll make sure to post pictures soon.
