He made me decide right then and there when to go in the hospital, though, which contradicted what he told me on Friday when he said we could take it day by day and decide a day of, if we wanted to. He was all, well you need to decide, and when I said Steve hadn’t made up his mind either, he was like, well you need to do it, then. So then he tells me, “how about this, you come in one week or two, which is it?” Something in me said “two!!!!!” so I said two.

So now I go in on the 23rd. I’ll have to go to one hospital for an ultrasound and paperwork ’cause apparently that’s where the doctor is scheduled to be that day. Then I go to the one I’ll be in for, possibly, the next 8 weeks.

They’ll give me one steroid injection then and then another 24 hours later. And they monitor baby 24/7. And we wait.

A thing I got about the hospital today says this:

SO I guess that’s me!
My first question is: when will someone teach me to knit? :) I’ve been wanting to learn really.

And though they say keep connected with their laptops, I’m hoping I’ll be able to connect mine to the wi-fi. And if that’s the case, I’ll have even more to keep me entertained. I’ll probably even get Netflix or something for watching stuff on my PC. Though Steve insists they must have a DVD “rental” place in there since we found a DVD in a drawer last time, but who knows. Just depends on how things go. There’s also that Amazon Unbox which is not bad.

I’ve got a book to read that my friend gave me last week. Kinda been saving it for my hospital time. But if I get into it it won’t take me long to finish it anyway. I also am putting some photos on my little scrapbooking drive, so maybe I can do that. And I ordered two cross stitch kits last night, so yes, plenty of things to keep me occupied.

As you can guess I’m trying to actually make this some what fun for me. Might make it easier. Rather than dreading the 23rd, I’m trying to look forward to it. Then, if nothing else, the next two weeks won’t be filled with my dreads of what is coming.

Oh the doctor did say again that there’s a chance that between now and when I go in the hospital that I could go in labor and that we’d probably lose the baby. BUT then he said it was a VERY small chance and most likely won’t happen. I guess they assume that because I didn’t go into labor within that first week after my water breaking that I probably won’t for some time now, or maybe never on my own, who knows?

So yeah, the lady is sending me an application. If I fill it out and send it right back that will hopefully be time for me to get my confirmation letter. So it looks like I will be doing a fair next weekend afterall. This will be good “practice” as it’s only one day. We’ll see how well these things sell at something like this. I just hope that if they sell well that I can get my inventory back up before June for that two day festival. Afterall, I may have over 400 now, but I’ve been making/saving these since about January.

This means tomorrow I have to buy a big table though. It’s something I knew I was going to have to buy but wasn’t prepared to do it just yet. I also need to get tissue paper for wrapping these things so they don’t break and plain bags of some sort. Hopefully Sam’s Wholesale will have what we need.

Now… I forgot where I was going with this… :eek:

But yeah, I still haven’t gotten my sales tax info from the state. This is getting rediculous… :-x
