I couldn’t take the sitting around yesterday. Hubby doesn’t get it that our home is my office and when the weekend comes, I don’t want to sit around here while he sits on a chair and reads a french book or the paper or whatever. I spend all week cleaning, playing and hanging out, when the weekend comes I want us to head out and do something. I finally suggested a museum yesterday, mostly because we didn’t need to go shopping for anything, it was a little chilly for the canal, and we bought the membership and hadn’t gone to the Science Museum yet. We packed up and headed off.
It turned out to be quite fun! “J” got to touch and play with everything, he mostly loved all the headphones and phones everywhere. I will say that I was a little disappointed, it has changed since I was a kid and since we used to take “A” there. There didn’t seem to be as much to play with and experiment as I remembered. And I was definately disppointed at the space section. There was nothing about the Canadarm, and there were mostly posters and videos instead of the real thing (or replicas) to look at. “J” had lots of fun and had a good nap after, so it meant that he got lots of running around excercise and that makes it worth it hands down.
The farm should have the animals in this week, so hopefully we will go there agian soon and maybe bring “J2”!
After much anticipation and craziness! Baby Neice arrived sunnyside up and a little bruised (her whole face, poor thing), but otherwise healthy and happy. She will be kept in the NICU until her apparent “36th” week due date, which will be Wednesday of next week. She weighed in at 5lbs 13oz and wanted to come a full hour before she did, but had to “wait” for the Doctor to arrive (hence the bruise). I did not get to see her myself as I graciously gave up my visitor’s pass for my Mom :). They are only allowed two visitors per day and J2 counted as a visitor. So it was a flip between me and my Mom and well, I can wait. I will be seeing lots of her later on when her Dad goes back to work and we hang out with J2 for a playdate.
The first sleepover went well, despite an understandibly teary J2, who could not understand why his Mommy and Daddy weren’t coming to get him. Broke my heart. It took him a good hour and a half to go to sleep last night, not something I am used to “J” goes down and is gone like that. I cuddled and explained that his Baby Sister was trying really hard to come to see him. And that Daddy and Mommy were at the hospital, by my fourth visit he told me to go downstairs as he was alright, bless his heart.
The morning started at 6am, which is later for “J” and average for J2. J2 would have slept longer if our nosey Huskey hadn’t gone in and woken him up, but within a few minutes the boys were back to playing with the toys and our day started in happiness.
Oh yes, and Baby SisterNeice is being a little stubborn and has not arrived yet. Not sure what the plan is going to be for today, but my Sister has not progressed through the night so there has been some talk of a section, but hopefully she will progress this morning and that won’t be necessary.
Ugggh the waiting!
