Today

Ok, so here’s the deal. My grandpa is dying. He is passing as I type this and my grandma is about three quarters of the way out the door to follow him. The baby isn’t here yet and I’m most likely going to miss both funerals. A baby and two funerals in a week. It’s going to be a long week. If the baby is born in the next day or two, I’ll go and join my extended family in Texas (not the evacuating portion, luckily) in paying my last respects to two of the most amazing people that I’ve had in my life. But my son is my first priority. I’ve tried to cajole him into coming, bribe him into coming and order him into coming, to no avail. I won’t force him, I just can’t handle doing that in this moment.

I am emotionally spent. I have nothing in me to say. Soon I will, but not right now.

Becky will let you all know as soon as the baby is born. She’ll post it here.

I’ll be back in about a week, once I’ve had time to process everything that is and will happen this week.

    Hugs, hugs and more hugs. I feel for you and I am still sending you labor inducing thoughts.

    I am here if you need me, always up late if you just want to vent…

    Thinking of you. This is so much to happen at once and I’m sorry. Hope we’ll all get to see that beautiful baby soon.

    My thoughts are with you… Best of luck for a quick and painless (hah!) labor, and I am so sorry about your grandparents.
