Week 24
On the Saturday, my mother hosted a wonderful “Babies Shower” for me. It was an afternoon where I was truly spoiled with lots of wonderful goodies, great company and yummy food.
We let the baby shower guests in on the secret of what the sexes of the babies are. We know this probably means that the secret is now known to many more than the guests, but I’m sure it will still be a surprise to enough people, which should make The Accountant happy, since he is the one who wants it to be a secret. I insisted on telling baby shower guests. Since these will be our last babies, (I know, famous last words. But this is fully our intention…), I’d prefer not to go gender neutral but to dress them in the appropriate colour. We also let the guests know that the nursery is going to have an owl theme, so we got lots of lovely owlish knick knacks. I can’t wait to set it all up!

| As I said, Totally Spoiled! |
Continuing to have plenty of rest. The boys are normally gone in the afternoon and I end up having a rest, which normally involves me starting to read a book then falling to sleep. I have to admit that I am bitterly disappointed with bed rest. I had a huge list of things that I wanted to work on while resting in bed. I’ve a huge list of books I want to read, including trying to get book club books read in advance, so if I want to attend any meetings after the triplets arrive I will know my stuff! I also have crocheting I want to finish, Bella articles and blog posts to write, (I wanted to get a stockpile up so I don’t have any pressure to write after the triplets are born), a training program for an Infertility Support Group I run, I even wanted to get my Christmas cards written! So far I’ve managed to keep up with the prescribed book club books, written blogs (but nothing for the stockpile) and slept. Obviously that’s what I need to do in order to cook these babies, So I’ll just remain content and get done what I can.

Good keep cooking!
It’s bedrest for the most amazing cause, just keep them cooking!! And I think it would be fun for us blog readers to have a stab at guessing the sexes of the bubbies. My guess (and I haven’t heard anything, so I actually have no inside info) is that you are getting 2 girls and 1 boy. Can’t wait hear if I guessed right!!
What an exciting pile of loot!
Funny how “bedrest” sounds like Utopia until you actually have to do it! I don’t think I’ve been forced to do it, just told to quite seriously “take it easy” but still, I hated it.
Are you writing for Bella? I would love to do that, but they didn’t need me at the time I asked. One day maybe.
