I suspect others are making plans around me.
My mom (who is just as superstitious as me, if not more so) mentions to me on the phone yesterday, in passing, that she has talked to my brother about coming to stay in January.
What? What was that, Mom?
Yeah, she's thought about coming to stay in my city for a few weeks, maybe a month around when the baby is due. Our townhouse is too small for her to stay with us, so my brother offered to have her stay with them. And she also thought about doing a temporary month lease on a condo in the area.
Wait, what?
Why were my ears not burning when this was discussed? Isn't it too soon to make any plans? Too soon to begin thinking like this?
Apparently not, at least for other people. For me, on the other hand, yeah, that totally freaked me out.

In my experience mom always overplan. Or plan to early. Sounds like mom isn't really feeling the same anxiety as you and is to excited to wait.
ReplyDeleteAs scary as it may seem to you, making these plans early is a good thing. This way you don't have to worry about them later when your hips hurt so much you never sleep. The last few weeks are the most uncomfortable and you are not going to want to do anything but find a comfortable position and NOT MOVE!
oh what? I was coming to stay for a month... you mean.... of geez.... thanks pie, thanks a whole bunch :)
ReplyDeleteEven at 33 weeks my head is still spinning and even now at 35 I cant get my head around it, I won't tell you all the evil dreams, but you know what, do it on your terms. Mrs I didn't have a shower, she didn't want one.... and that's all ok with me. but to give you a positive spin, chances of issues from here on are slight, after all you have been through its ok to think - yes - maybe this will work for me.
