How freaking absurd is it that Wesley has HOMEWORK from PRESCHOOL, and they did not give us any written instructions about it? :P

We have a handful of paper feathers and a vague, "Write down thankful thoughts." I don't know what they're going to be used for or how they should be written: should they have his name on it? "Wesley is thankful for Halloween"? Should they just have words? "Pizza"? I don't at all know how to approach the assignment, but we know we're supposed to bring them back in to school on Monday.

Which is also great, because, you know, Monday is the day that I have to be at the hospital at 6AM to deliver this baby, so I have to pass on instructions to make sure the feathers get to school to my mom, who will be handling school dropoff and pickup that day.

I mean, not that I mind us doing the project with him or anything, but it would be nice if we had more info, since we are totally clueless about it right now.

I had my final pre-natal visit today. And my pre-registration call with the hospital yesterday. Less than 3 days to go now.

I'm just kind of... floating through it now. I'm nervous and edgy and I want it over and done, but I feel more like I'm existing in an eternal now rather than moving through time. It's kind of a weird feeling.

I did double-check to make sure that my hospital is going to let my kids come visit me given all the new rules for H1N1, and it sounds like they have a very practical and balanced and understanding position on the whole thing. The rule is no minors in the maternity wing except siblings of mother or child. All other visitors need to be 18+, and they ask/plead that people not come if they're not healthy.

But that means my kids will be able to visit, and that is all I care about. On day 1, the only visitors I want are my kids, but I really want to see them. Day 2, we'll see about some other visitors. I was really worried they'd come up with some new policy that wouldn't let me see my kids for the whole 5-day stretch I'll likely be stuck in there.
