Sorry for no personals, I am having difficulty keeping track between all the posts where everyone is with labor, babies, and no labor vibes so let me just say: labor vibes to all those that want it and stay put vibes to all those that are hoping for their LOs to stick around inside a little longer. And of course, congratulations for all the LOs already born! It is so exciting.
Lily, I'm so sorry about the stressful antibiotics situation and not getting to bring Piper home. Big hugs, Mama.
AFM, I spent my first week of maternity leave hanging out with my sister and nieces, which I really enjoyed, I feel like I just get to know each of them and their distinct personalities more and more, and it is so neat, they are such cool little people. Overwhelming, but cool. The three big girls are going home today, their dad flew in last night to drive them down for school, so it will just be my twin, her 4.5 month old, and me next week. So we will be spending a lot of time getting ready for Q to arrive: hospital bag, fixing meals, and cleaning up after the whirlwind that is 3 little girls! I must say, it is hard to keep on top of the cleaning with them all and I was just happy if I could get the toys picked up, the house swept, vacuumed, the table wiped off, and the kitchen clean each day, even if it wasn't in that state by the end of the day.
B is home for the weekend, but flies out again on Monday, I know I'm not due for another week, but I really don't want to go into labor with him gone and have him possibly miss the birth. He is flying into a smaller airport, which means less flights in and out, and is working an hour drive from the airport, so he likely couldn't get back that quickly if it came down to it. I feel bad because my sister is hoping I go sooner rather than later, because she wants to be with her family, and I am hoping I go later, to make sure B is home. Also, my midwife is gone until Tuesday on vacation. So sticky stay in there vibes for me...come on September...
