I am officially on maternity leave! Friday was my last day of school and my students were great. One group turned in How-To papers that day and asked if they could bring in the food that they wrote about in their papers. Of course I agreed, so we had fruit pizza, cookies, brownies, cheesecake, and taco salad. Another group planned a pizza party and my last group brought in popcorn. A lot of kids gave me hugs when I left, so that made me feel like I had made a little bit of a difference. It all seems worthwhile in moments like that!
Saturday I spent the morning being pampered. I was finally able to use the Mini-Spa gift certificate Jarrett got me for Christmas and it was well worth the wait! I started the morning with a pedicure and then had a prenatal massage. After the massage I got a manicure and a facial. It was the most relaxing way to start my maternity leave. I was supposed to help Jenna pack up her dorm room when I was done but I was so relaxed I couldn't do anything. I finally gave up and came home to take a nap. I can completely see why women spend tons of money for that kind of treatment!
I am still feeling pretty good. I have been taking a lot of walks in the past few days. People keep joking with us that we are trying to walk the baby out. It sounds like a good idea to me, however it really just feels good to get out and walk. I feel so much more energized after a walk around the block. If the baby happens to come out as a result of that, then it's a bonus!
