It's a lot of noise but it's not my baby...

Becoming the CEO of Domestic Affairs is a somewhat challenging task for me as we all know I can't cook (though I can bake the hell out of some cupcakes!) and who actually enjoys cleaning their home/doing laundry? I do appreciate the down time and have organized myself and the hospital bags into a tizzy. There are random annoyances though that this working girl never really even considered before that are now driving me crazy.

Outside my screen door in the family room every morning there are loud banging noises - almost like a 2x4 hitting cement over and over and over. What's frustrating is that I can't investigate from my window in the comfort of my not-so-glamorous 10 mo. preggie clothes either. I can't see you but I can hear you... Eew. I wish I knew what kind of project they were working on and WHEN it would be finished. I do recall that this work has been going on for some time - yes, pre new job title but it never bothered me before.

Oh - now a saw and nail gun have joined the choir and our beat has gone from despacio to allegra. Arrrg.  I should probably practice a "focus technique" that they taught us in our birthing class while I'm annoyed but I'm just not as dedicated as some of those other hippie women. I did practice in bad traffic a couple of times when I was freaking out and became cognizant of what that must be doing to the baby.

Back to the growing "song" - I will find you construction - through the wierd stairs and hills today I will find you.  My doctor says "walking" (which is a waddle, let's face it) can bring on labor so I'm up to 2 walks a day now....not that I'm actually READY for labor....but who ever is?
