yet again, so much to say, too many little posts. it's scrapple time!
the good hubby
hubby ran errands for me yesterday. he did pretty good. i need to be more clear on my lists tho - he got me the wrong tums, and the wrong hamburger (i like organic beef; he got 93% lean beef, as i requested, but it looked funny.) i grumbled too much, and i hurt his feelings. i am so appreciative that he does this for me - he could be a real jerk and refuse to do it.
we talked about that this morning. he saw an acquaintance at the grocery store and she commented on how nice it was for hubby to do these things for me. apparently not many men are hot to run errands for their pregnant wives!! hubby cooks, cleans and fetches.
it's still hard for me to let someone else do my work for me. i think that's why i bitched about the tums and the meat. i can't wait for these babies to be born, so i can go back to shopping, and cleaning and cooking the way i usually do.
and now a word from the bastard limb of my family tree
my cousin t had his baby a couple weeks ago. they had a boy. mom told me the baby's name, and i looked him up on the online hospital nursery. cute kid. my cousin can't deny paternity, the baby is the spitting image of him. the name, on the other hand, really is interesting. the name is acheryn thorian theodrid. i googled these names and damned if i can find them in any baby name dictionary. thorian is supposedly a derivative of thor (that was the easy name to find!) theodrid, from what i can determine is a name from lord of the rings. acheryn was the hardest of all - the first hit came up my cousin's baby announcement. a few hits down showed some harry potter fanpages - i don't remember seeing the name in any of the books but i could be wrong. my cousin must be getting heat on the name becos in the comment section they wrote "never mind the names, admit the kid is cute." i don't know if my cousin and his baby mama are into sci-fi fantasy or what, but it's definitely one of the most unusual names i've ever seen.
week 34
knock on wood, my uterus has been behaving itself and the babies are doing okay. last night i filled out the paperwork the PEP nurse gave us to fill out (birth cert forms, online nursery stuff, etc.) i guess i was feeling optimistic that my babies will be born at this hospital. i still have to fill out names, stats etc but that shouldn't take too long. unfortunately i have to do everything in duplicate, for 2 babies, but now that i got the lionshare done, it won't take too long at the hospital.
i think of my EDD as 9/8, even tho my doc has me at 9/15. i was surprised to find out that my doc has me at 33w2d on thursday. doesn't matter anyway. i still think these kids are coming early.
my knitting group wanted to have a shower for me. hubby had to spill the beans to me. they wanted to do it tomorrow night, but after all the tummy troubles last week and me sitting put for the rest of the pregnancy, we felt it best to wait until the babies were born, and we'd take them to knitting to show them off. i didn't want any showers, since we had a few for the boy and had all the things we need for these babies, but i felt touched. secretly i hoped my teacher would make a couple of buntings like she had for someone who helps with her yoga classes but apparently the group got me something. have no idear what, but hubby knows - he said he suggested it. all i can think of is diapers and wipes, or gift cards for dipes and wipes. i guess i'll find out a month or so from now.
MIL
mil came home yesterday afternoon and is now resting. hubby visited yesterday and said she was sleeping (she got the good drugs) and that she was doing okay.
MIL will have a home nurse visit every day to change dressings and check the drainage tube. she's supposed to start treatment in 2 weeks (methinks).
my FIL is nuts. next week they're supposed to go camping at the amusement park. remember, she's supposed to have a home nurse visit every day. they don't necessarily have a set schedule for visits. so my FIL thinks they can stay at the park and come home every morning until the nurse visits, then go back to the park. the park is half an hour away, so do this 4 times. on top of that the last day of camping MIL has a doc's appointment and his idea is they'll have the camper packed, drive to the appointment (which is almost an hour away), drive back to get the camper then go to the next campground.
WTF??? this driving back and forth is just crazy. i don't understand why they don't bag camping next week and just stay at home. MIL just had major surgery. the amusement park is, no offense, the dirtiest campground i've ever been to. the other campground, not quite as dirty but i still leave feeling filthy, spesh after a camp fire. is that safe for an incision? none of us are camping with them this year - i'm in no shape to go to the park, hubby isn't taking the boy in case i go in labor, my SIL probably won't go becos they've taken a lot of time off for MIL's appointments and procedures, and our extended family probably won't come up either. if it were my decision, i'd be home, with my own bathroom and sofa, cool and clean.
the boy will be home soon. watching a gilmore girls marathon. it feels weird playing hooky on a sunday. i can't wait for the babies to get here, so i can go back to church.
