Our daughter is ready to delivery grandson number two any day now. Her doctor has scheduled her to be induced on Wednesday if he's unwilling to make his debut on his own. They are all ready for baby Matthew's arrival (he'll go by his middle name) and so are we. We have the grandparents' equipment ready to go -- pack & play for a crib, bouncy seat and stroller. I can't wait to see the little guy. Grandson #1 thinks he's ready to be a big brudder. I'm sure there will be adjustments as he will no longer be the ONLY center of his parents' universe. But he's such a good boy, I'm sure he'll be a good big brother. Little Matthew is a lucky baby. :-)
Week one with the stitches is over. One more week to go. I popped a couple of stitches on my calf -- the doctor warned me that calves are hard and I see that now. It's just really hard to not stress that skin. Just lying in bed, the calf spread out and tugs on the stitches. But I also squatted down a couple of times because I wasn't thinking and started to cross my legs with that leg on top -- ouch. Who knows when it popped. I went to the doctor and they said it was healing well. They gave me "sani-strips" which are wonderful. I don't know what that adhesive is, but man, I think it would hold the wings on a 747. I use the strips to reinforce the middle where the stitches popped. The other 3 are all holding together well.
Thank goodness the stitches come out before Thanksgiving. We'll have a full house and I'm really looking forward to it. Jay's mom will be here along with our daughter and her family, plus her mother-in-law who will be down for a couple of weeks to help after the baby is born. It will be crazy and I'll be exhausted, but it will be a really nice time. And we definitely have a lot to be thankful for what with the new baby and all.
Then, it's on to Christmas! Good Lord!
