- Mabel, you're either way more organized or much wiser re: bag! I just keep thinking I don't want to pack away anything we might need between now and then ...
Just found www.passyourplate.com - will be making some meals-to-freeze there early this month! Not much of a cook, so this company will be a lifesaver. Do you have anything like it in UK? It's new to me; just heard of it.
Clairemow, didn't realize that. The 3 separate hospitals in this area making up "NW Medical Center" are 100% private rooms. Labor rooms are larger and nicer than recovery rooms, but recovery rooms have full-length couches for DHs to stay overnight if wanted. Windows at DS1's room after birth were 16 stories up, so they didn't open for safety reasons, but in August in Houston, the aircon's much preferable to outside air.
Speaking of which it reached 38C again today, sigh. I am really missing being outdoors here. Perhaps in a month or so I'll be able to drag my sleep-deprived self out to the back porch for hot coffee in long-sleeves; smiling just thinking about it.
Despite heat, numerous birthday parties being held outside(!) in the next few weeks. I have had to explain that we just won't be able to make it as I instantly wilt/disintegrate outdoors, and hope those moms understand.
Pol - That is so annoying; so much easier to handle when it's your own parents, but hard to know what to say to in-laws when they do obnoxious things. Lessons were learned by my own parents early on ; they'd never pop by unannounced now.
Cori & Mabel - It's way too bad. I would be ranting too.
