Tuesday Randoms
I just had my first obgyn annual since I had the lump removed. For some reason, it felt like a huge victory to not have one this time.
Re: Tuesday Randoms
That is a tough conversation. We have never actually had it and it is probably a good idea to do it.
I feel like a$$. Seriously, feels like I swallowed broken glass and my nose has turned into a faucet. Awesome. I am at work and can't motivate myself to do work.
I'm bummed the board has been kinda deserted.
I love pretzel M&Ms.
So true!! As are mini cupcakes with buttercream frosting
Me too. But it usually does die down around this time of year when all the teachers are wrapping up their school years. I have so much more opportunity to post now and I feel like there isn't ever much to post about.
We are impatiently waiting for my sister to have her baby. She was 4 cm dilated last Monday and has been having contractionss for over a week but nothing yet. My parents drove out and are here now and hoping that the baby comes soon so they don't use up all their vacation time and have to go back.
I have no idea who we would pick. Well i would choose my parents and I am sure Dan would choose his. But he does complain a lot that they weren't involved in his childhood and mine were always there so that may change his mind.
We made up wills shortly after Mackenzie was born and it was a tough choice for us too. We wouldn't pick either of our parents just because of their ages. It would be fine now, but 15 years down the road it wouldn't be fair to them or her.
We ended up deciding on DH's brother and his wife mostly because of their financial stability and we know that they would raise her very similarly to how we would. My sister who is married would not be as financially able to do it, and we also don't 100% agree with some of their religious views. We thought that the lifestyle change it would bring to my other single sister wouldn't be fair to her. Once Mackenzie is in school we may re-evaluate because BIL & SIL live about 3 hours away. So then we may choose someone in our city so she wouldn't be totally uprooted from everything she knows.
We have been avoiding it because it is so hard.
I think we finally decided on my parents. They are more than finacially stable and would raise Parker most like we would. Also, they would be able to spend way more time with my niece and nephew. Plus my mom has lost a son already and I think that if we gave custody to Rusty's parents or sister she would feel that she had lost everything (because I wouldn't be around either).
