Two Days Left, and Counting
We have had a slight change of plans, the big day has been moved up from the 18th to the 14th. There are no issues with Pookie or the Pooklings to necessitate the change, our doctor just thinks the availability of beds for our little people will be better if we do things before the weekend. Apparently beds in the nursery are kind of like campsites in Banff, the good ones are gone by Saturday.
I will be sure to run the video camera as much as possible, unless I pass out from looking at Pookie's guts when the doctor is handbombing infants to nurses. There are going to be about 20 people in the room (then 23), so I expect things to be pretty crowded, but I'll do my best.
The question people keep asking me is whether Pookie is ready to get things moving, and shit yes she is. She has been dealing with the discomforts and inconveniences of being very pregnant for months and months, and it is getting old. She hasn't been able to walk the dog or go to a movie since she was about 15 weeks pregnant, and she is almost at 34. Yeah, she's ready, and so is dad.
I almost don't want to jinx it by saying anything, but our doctor is telling us that the Pooklings (she doesn't call them that) are so strong that they might not spend more than a day or two in the NICU, and then head to the regular nursery. That would be fantastic, but we'll see.
The house is ready, cigars bought, and the liquor cabinet is full. Bring on the Pooklings!
What!? ...Shut the front door!! I just finished checking your blog and prepared myself for 10 days and now there's only 2....yahooo!
ReplyDeleteWe are sure excited for you two and your new family to come. Many happy wishes, vibes, and thoughts are being sent to you from TB.
from Crystal, Shaner and Boys
P.s I think that...and many of us can agree, that you should look into writing more seriously Jeff...cause your good. Pooklings and all.
Good luck to the both of you...but mostly to Brandi! I am going to be thinking of you guys all day Friday and sending the best wishes your way! I am beyond blown away by Brandi and her amazing little body! Can't wait to meet the little pooklings!
ReplyDeleteLove Jane
Of course she's ready!! What a silly question :) Good luck with it all and YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteScooting over here from M&M, but have been following the progress for some time.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow guys...it will be awesome!
Jeff your blog has been a riot to follow the last few months and I'm sure that your comedic approach motivated Brandi to keep on truckin' on many days. Brandi you will be the MOST amazing momma ever :) Those three babes are going to be the best thing that ever happened to either of you. Enjoy every moment because before you know it they will be 10 and sassy!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with everything tomorrow and Congrats
Christa and Callie !!!
Some wise words from Dr. Peter Schram: "You're kids are on loan to you for eighteen years, so enjoy every minute!"
ReplyDeleteLets get this done!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much everyone, I will let everyone know what is going on tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYAYYYYY! I'll be thinking about you guys (all 5 of you) tomorrow. I know it will all go well. Those babes are blessed to have two such amazing parents.
ReplyDeleteLove to each of you,

I believe it takes a sence of humor to raise children...so you have this licked! We will be thinking of you two tomorrow. Remember that they are only tiny for a short time. So take too many pictures and give too many kisses.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and Congratulations!
