I am very much looking forward to meeting my baby girl in less than 2 months. There is so much to do in the mean time and I do not think I have enough time to get it all done. I have planned from the beginning to work until I deliver. Lately, this task seems to be more difficult than I originally anticipated. I have my first trial in less than 2 weeks. I am thrilled that I have the opportunity to try a case, but am a bit overwhelmed in trying to get ready for it. We expect the trial to last 5 days and I will be "living" in Amite, Louisiana the whole time. I am not thrilled at the idea but I know it is best for all involved if I do not have to travel back to Baton Rouge every day after the trial. It is not that far, but I do not get to go home afterwards as I would have to prepare for the next day. Needless to say, it is better to be in one place the whole time. Unfortunately, my attention has been focused on preparing for the trial and not the baby. I have tried to set aside weekends to get the baby's room together but have not been that successful. I do have some things done- but I do not feel like I am near as ready as I should be at this point. It crossed my mind the other day that I might need to pack a bag at some point? I guess I just have a lot going on right now. My mom and sisters are coming into town the next few weekends. I hope they can help me get ready! I am really looking forward to being with my baby this summer.....and I am determined to take 3 months off for maternity leave. I know having a new baby is stressful due to lack of sleep, etc. But, I think it will be a nice change of pace and I cannot wait.
