39 Weeks!

Updating on a Sunday as I don't think time will be my friend tomorrow morning. I am definitely not a morning person and getting up at 6 for surgery is even worse. However, the outcome of the surgery is pretty exciting so the anxiety is a bit different.

I am most concerned with how Jack will react to his sister and less time with mommy and daddy. I'm worried how he will handle the change. If you asked me 3 months ago, I would have said he's the most flexible kid ever, won't notice the baby, might whine a bit when his needs weren't met immediately. Now? Now we are in the lovely terrible twos. Tantrums still really don't happen, at least not the kind you think of. He cries, a lot, and for no discernible reason. He whines for things, won't use his words, and seems to have developed a selective hearing impairment when the word "no" is used. For the most part, he is still an easy kid. We just don't know how to respond to the tantrums and endless crying because we have never had to endure it from him before. It's a learning process.

I will likely not update my blog until I get out of the hospital, but will post photos and birth updates on Facebook. Hopefully, I will get to go home Wednesday sometime. If things are weird, or if Nina develops jaundice like Jack or loses more than her alloted weight, I will be coming home Thanksgiving. Expect at least a quick update on Friday after things settle down a bit.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
