Just a few more days now. My c-section is scheduled for Wednesday morning at 7:30am. We both can hardly wait. I worry a few times a day because I've never been in the hospital and now I'm getting surgery. But for the most part, I am so eager for the physical relief of having this bowling ball removed, and so eager for the emotional relief of knowing that she is here safe and healthy--that nothing else really matters. Lindsey keeps reminding me that while all of this is new to us, it is routine for everyone else that will be involved (i.e. my doctor and nurses). Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. We got a lot of calls from family and friends this weekend, all anxious too, about the big day. (Thanks everyone!)
We celebrated Christmas this weekend with my immediate family at our house. We usually go to my parent's in Cole Camp, but since I couldn't be that far away from the hospital in case I went into labor, we thought doing it here would be best. It turned out nicely. We bought my nephews screaming monkey slingshots. (What was I thinking? Those things are loud!) After two great games of Apples to Apples Junior, I showed Sam how to diaper the monkey up in the baby's room. He even wanted to put booties and socks on the monkey. A future baby sitter? Perhaps.
There was a great article, Handmade 2.0, on yesterday's nytimes.com website. It was about the DIY/crafter scene and specifically talked a lot about Etsy, where I purchased several holiday gifts this year. I did more online shopping this year than ever before and found the Etsy site inspiring.
My main computer is still down, which explains why my website has not been updated and why the 52nd City website has not been updated. I haven't even been able to post to the 52nd City blog. I think this should all be resolved in the next couple of weeks...but I doubt I will care too much. I'll be all cocooned in this house with my little lambchop.
More to come...
