Trees


Glorious 4 days off from work....sort of. My to do list: I have to finish up packing and throwing out my desk; finish assembly of computer hutch; prep nursery for painting; paint; finish helping M pack her office; move boxes somewhere; try to convince M that said boxes should be left in back of car; clean apartment; get M her cinnamon toasted pop tarts; have mini break down when apartment heat reaches over 102degrees; and then apologize for mini-break down.

With alot of work to do, coupled with the fact that M is suppose to be relaxing, we canceled our weekend trip to Vermont. I will miss the trees, snow, and chance to sit in front of a fireplace. We do still have Christmas decorations on the wall- I can check out those trees when desperate. Like now.

M and I registered for a day weekend "intensive workshop" on giving birth to twins. Both days of training 7 hours per day. I hate to sound like an unsupportive partner, but is 14 hours of class room time a bit extensive? Okay, Okay, it's not all about me. I get it.

I was on board with doing alternative sessions while trying IVF. We both attend sessions with the clinic's holistic nurse. And I loved it. The holistic nurse at the clinic is an amazing person and we are still in touch with her. I contribute M's pregnancy in part to our holistic sessions AND the fact that the transfer date was 7-07-07.

A friend called today, and I told her that we aren't having a larger baby shower. She said we were nuts. We are having a smaller baby shower in Philadelphia. I assume M will be cleared to attend. Another doctor visit tomorrow hopefull will result in good, not confusing cervix news.

I think of the back of our car as another closet! It dries my gf crazy.

We never took any classes so when my water broke I was kinda unsure of what happened next! I was thinking, now I think there are three stages of labor, but I really had no idea what to do but call nicole, get my bag and go to the hospital! I figured the nurses and doctors would usher me thru everything, and I did read lots of books. But I kept pushing a class off and then it was too late! Maybe you'll meet other twin parents and can start a little playgroup.

You will not be disappointed by taking a class. It may be the best thing you and your partner can do!
