A good Friday?
Today may be a big day for us financially. Hubby's boss gave him his pay(half of it really) for next month last night. Now we have enough to pay to get our car insurance back; we can pay cable too. I feel certain there will be enough left to pay storage and even my health insurance and credit cards IF we stretch it right. Hubby is also meeting with his father today to get a new pair of shoes. He said he wants to get up "early" - perhaps 9. Generally he will go back to sleep until 10:30 in a case like this. All I need him to be home for is 30 minutes so I can get a shower. He doesn't have to work until 4...so he'll leave here at 3:15.
Headache. Snotty. Guts hurt. Boobs hurt. Hubby has gone to do errands - I'm glad because he was being "short" with me at a time that I didn't need it. You know why I hate making phone calls? Because that's when EVERYTHING goes down around me. I called the twin's doctor to see if they will take the baby - as I expected - NO. Then I called my OBGYN to setup next weeks pre-induction appointment - Tuesday at 3pm - horrible timing - no one wants to keep the twins at 3pm - it cuts into people's lives - and I'd be leaving in traffic. They told me to call back Monday to try to reschedule earlier in the day. Then I looked up the pediatrician's office that has always been the backup I had in mind IF I needed to change the kids doctor. I called them - they were great - they will take my new baby; they will also take my twins. An extra bonus is that the twins FIRST pediatrician - who we adored - is at this practice now, so we may get to see her again! Another doctor there is the husband of a doctor that has worked on J & T at Children's Hospital before. Anyway, talking on the phone to people that matter while hubby is being a jerk and the twins are running around asking for stuff they don't need is NOT easy. Then I get sat down in my room and have to jump up and RUN to get the ringing phone - it was hubby's mom telling the twins about the surprises she got them - so then before the call is over I've got 2 kids bombarding me with questions about "when do I get my surprise" - the TV is blaring - I hate noise!
Hubby brought home McDonald's for lunch, then took the kids outside to get muddy - and I got a much needed shower. Hubby is gone to work now. And I am sitting here with these sharp pains - baby movement - low down in front - enough pain to make a moan/grunt over. Maybe I just need to poop? The fluid is driving me nuts. I know it isn't pee because little to no pee comes out when I go to the toilet.
Hubby's boss needs him to work the night after I am due to have the baby. I guess my kids will have to go stay with m parents that night until he gets off work...I hope they are willing to help out like that.
Tomorrow is Saturday! Hubby has a tournament. I am taking the kids to visit my parents and brother. I plan on arriving at kickoff for Alabama football...about 11:30am. It will be nice to get out of here and take my mind off home. I miss my family and they miss us, so it's all good.
