So I'm a little behind. You'll have to forgive me. When we got home from vacation my laptop took a hissy fit at being left behind and refused to work, so until M figures it out and has time to fix it, I have to borrow his. Boo. I'm trying not to have a mental breakdown over the pictures and files on my laptop right now. M says he can fix it, I believe him, we've just got a lot going on right now so it's time that's the issue.
We're moving today and tomorrow. That's odd. My sister and her husband are moving up from Calgary to have a go at living with us. I've warned her that she is entering my inner circle of oddness and so will most likely become a main character in this blog. Especially when it comes to how much X wants to be like his Auntie M. So since her name also starts with M, we'll call her AM from this point on.
I'm 34 weeks, 2 days along. That's odd. Strangers no longer have any doubt about my current state and EVERYONE asks if I'm due "any day." No. I'm not. I'm due in 6 weeks, but the babies will be here in 4 weeks. The first day back to work for M though, he spent 12 hours not with me, then came home, looked at me and declared that he does not believe they will wait 4 weeks. Awesome.
X started grade 1 today. That's totally odd. Once again my poor son is in a new school. Because we're moving 6 blocks west, he's in a different zone. I feel bad. 3 schools in 2 years, but I did that sort of thing too. Hopefully in the future we'll be a bit more stable. As in only moving every few years rather than every few months.
People have odd reactions to my pregnancy. On my vacation I made a stranger cry, created a scene that gathered a crowd at Fabricland, I get pitying looks, knowing smiles, stares, and the pastor at the church we attend keeps mentioning the two new people that are expected to join the church very soon like they're late for an appointment or something. The crying stranger was actually a neighbour of a bff I got to visit while on holiday. She touched my belly and both babies kicked her, so she cried. The scene at Fabricland? All I did was say "there's two" when asked if I was going to birth right away. Suddenly everyone in the store came to look. It's odd.
If you're a woman who has had children, you know that "I'm totally done" feeling? I don't have that yet and that's odd. I can't walk, I waddle. There is constant pain in my hips, knees and feet. If I stand for too long I feel like gravity will pull my forward to fall on my face. I'm averaging 3 hours of sleep at a time. I have to sleep with at least 4 pillows, sometimes 5 if M's on night shift and I can take over the WHOLE bed. But I'm not done. On the other hand, I do feel like I might be pregnant forever. And ever. There is no end to this.
By the way, the hiccups have totally happened. The one on my left gets them everyday and they shake me. The one on the right gets them less frequently and they seem to be smaller, but that could just be the positioning.
Well, M thinks I'm writing a novel, so I'll sign off for now! Next post will come from our new crazy home!!
