I woke up this morning thinking about my life right now - the remaining days before child(ren). I have passed the 33 week mark, and am now in my 34th week. I have roughly 50 days until my due date.
50 days. To do what with? To experience what? To fill up with what? To be who? These are whopper questions, I know. But I am a coach, after all. Lately, I've been "winding down", as I say to Joe. I have a small handful of coaching clients, am taking my jewelry to a boutique tomorrow to be sold there, and am working through our "pre-baby" list.
I've even turned the TV on mid-day (gasp!) and enjoyed back-to-back versions of A Baby Story, or Bringing Home Baby. Clearly, my mind is occupied with the bundle of joy to come.
So, what about me? What is it that I want to do or be over these next two months? I have the time and the space to create whatever it is I want to experience. Rather than count down days until the baby arrives, I'd like to shift my perspective to enjoying, and I mean REALLY enjoying, Fifty Days of Freedom. Hmmmm...
I will keep you posted (no pun intended) on what these days have in store for me. My nesting urges came along like false contractions. I do hope it will come back, but perhaps its just not what I need right now.
I believe that, in a nutshell, these next 50 days are really about enjoying and taking care of myself. What does that look like? There in lies my discovery work!
