Bummed
We have a lot going on this and next weekend and I will either be having a baby, have a newborn or won't be able to go because a couple of the activities are too far away from a hospital.
I am bummed particularly about one activity- my aunt is getting married this weekend and their reception is in Iowa about 1.25 hours + away. I asked the dr last week and he didn't recommend going if I hadn't had the baby yet.
Another is a really good friends baby shower. I missed her wedding shower last year because of prior commitment and now and probably going to miss her baby shower. I just feel bad. And I don't know if it would be appropriate to bring a newborn (days old) to Lincoln for a baby shower.
Plus, I have a gtg with friends, Elsie has a birthday party in Fremont to go to (I am sending her and dh either way, I just hate missing since it's my friend's child's birthday, dh doesn't know anyone), then there is Gretna Days, I wanted to be there with Elsie at the parade.
Thanks for letting me vent about being bummed. Maybe, hopefully, it will all work out.
Re: Bummed
If you have baby before friend's baby shower, talk to the friend. I'm sure she isn't going to care. I told my friend to bring her kid and he was 2 months old.
Sorry about all the other things to miss. I know that is tough. DH & I had to make that hard decision regarding his crazy work schedule and that is why we went in for induction because there were too many days where he was going to be out for a long road trip and I wanted him there more than anything.
Crazy thought: Do you have the ability to skype on a laptop/mobile phone? Maybe you can skype your Aunt's wedding? Then say hi to her and congratulate her shortly after?
steph - we need a post baby beer, stat.
Lets drink it under the pretense that it will help boost our supply.
