Grandmother/Pregnancy/Playdate Update
My grandmother is in the hospital and seems to have acute renal failure. It’s like regular renal failure, but totally adorable. (No, that joke does not get old for me.) We won’t have any further information on that until she’s been transferred from the out-of-network hospital she is in now, and ses the nefrologist at the in-network hospital she is being transferred to today. I’m sure this won’t create any undue stress on my grandmother…of course not…I mean it’s not like she thought the hospital was her home yesterday. Oh, wait, yes she did. That, my friends, is not a good sign.
I can’t seem to get a good night’s sleep to save my sanity, and I have this weird feeling my midwife wants to start scheduling appointments every two weeks now that I’m in my third trimester and I am trying to think of a loving, polite way to say that a two hour round-trip every two weeks is not something I can handle, either physically or mentally. I’m pregnant and have less than 80 days till this baby is born…long car trips are just not something I can handle, especially with the never-ending puking problem this pregnancy has given me (I call it the gift that keeps on giving…) I’m just tired of having barf bags in the car – and being in the car in general.
On the bright side I scheduled a playdate/girls’ day out with a friend of mine and her daughter for next week. It will be fun and completely decadent. I’m going to get my four-and-a-half year old daughter’s nails done. I’m not that mom all the time, but occasionally, I rock inappropriate mom status. I know she’ll love it because every bottle of nail polish I used to have ended up on our floor and our walls … as well as all over her fingers and toes … but never in her mouth. She gets that nail polish is not to be consumed, so I feel secure with my decision. (By “done” I mean painted with a decal, no fake nails LOL)
Penny (our new basset hound) is doing beautifully (other than needing to wake up at 4:30 this morning to go out and pee) and we took her for her first vet visit today. Penny is a rock-star in the car and doesn’t mind traveling. It’s a nice change from my “petrified to get in the car” schnauzers. Maybe I can get her to the dog park! Yea!
Can you tell I’m desperately trying to be positive right now? Good, because I am!
I have bursts of energy through the day but they fade fast, replaced by a need to have a puppy on my leg and my head against the back of the couch in a semi-comatose state.
I try to remind myself how lucky I am that I have a life where I am able to do that. Because I really am, and I know it, and I do not take it for granted.
