We're back on Hannah for the most part. Then again, we still have three weeks or so to go. Hannah Leah? I don't know. It comes up occasionally, we kick it around, and then change the subject.
Last time I was checked (a week ago), I was 50% effaced and not dilated. Which means exactly nothing. I am so.totally.done with being pregnant. I can't breathe, I have to pee all the time, I have headaches, my back hurts, I can't sleep, waaah waaah waah anyway, I am definitely almost 40 and pregnant with #4 and ready for this to be over.
The thought of an spinal doesn't terrify me the way it did the last two times.
Got lots of kyoot clothes from a friend - four boxes' worth! W00t! The girls had/have a ball with taking them out, looking at them, folding them, etcetera. So far only Sarah is putting them on baby dollies, but in limited quantities. The friend who sold/gave them to me has twin girls, so there's a LOT of clothes. I've got hospital clothes packed anyway.
Got off my butt and bought a car seat and a few packs of diapers so I wouldn't feel so woefully unprepared. Packed up a hospital bag so I didn't feel ditto. I'm down to very little clothes, so it took some thought figuring out what to put in the hospital bag that I won't be able to use for another few weeks (since it's packed).
Found out that our TV that we ordered and paid for back in November was stolen by some jerk in Texas who had canceled his order for the same TV. Lots of logistical issues, but basically the shipping company called him to schedule delivery of MY TV and he decided to take it anyway, even though he already had his refund money. I hope his stupid TV breaks in the next week.
We got our plow and winch attached to the quad; Jay has been attacking the circular driveway. Before we got the add-ons, we had a thaw and then a cold snap, so the snow that's out there is more like concrete than anything else. He persevered, though, and we can now pull the Denali out front again. Oh yeah, and I can get propane delivered too!
Surgery is definitely scheduled: February 12th at 0715AM. Jay will make phone calls when all is over.
