I ran around doing errands all day after waking up fairly late – Nam got up early to do something and she’s off doing something again. I’d protest that it’s better for her to lay around and get rest, but everybody deals with this kind of stress in different ways. We are excited, and happy, and anxious.
Tomorrow is a big day.
The C-section is scheduled for 9 am. I plan to watch. Max will be with his babysitter, and later at grandma’s house with his aunt. I will be caregiver for a week or so, in between teaching what few classes I have this week (there are holidays on Monday and Thursday).
Category: Oh, baby!
34 hours and counting
We are officially scheduled to arrive at the private hospital behind SermThai department store at 8:00 on Sunday morning. We went to check out everything in person tonight and take over some documents from Nam’s OBGYN. I have been informed that I can watch the caesarian if I so desire… I’m still thinking about that one.
A small mountain of luggage has been prepared for the few days to a week stay we are planning on; I’ll load it in the car tomorrow.
We went to the clinic today for a final checkup and it seems the baby may be a big one… If head size is any indication, perhaps even four kilograms!
We are in a unique state of being anxiously busy yet trying to relax…
Countdown: 7 days
In exactly one week, we will have additional babyage (in case you can’t tell, that is).
December 6th, here we come!
It’s a bit hard to believe, even as the truth protrudes further every day. Meanwhile, Max is learning new things every day and is showing incredible understanding for a 1.6 year old.
Max’s First MS Paint Drawing
I selected colors, he ownz0rr3d the canvas:
No no no no no no no
Currently Mr. Max’s favorite words, accompanied by firm waving off with arms and violent shaking of head. Can be applied to people, objects, or actions, but especially to unwanted food, baths, and authority figures. Has recently been found to actually mean “yes”, probably because Max can’t yet say yes.
Another sepia Max appreciates your devotion and will remember your loyal service
Big pimpin’ just takes it all out of you.

It’s getting harder to sleep
Mommy can barely get any sleep at all these days. Too heavy to sleep comfortably. Daddy wakes up at strange hours to rub her legs and shoulders. Mommy barely sleeping = daddy sleeping less, too. It’s only fair.
Plus, if I complain she might sit on me.
