Choose your words wisely...

...when speaking to a 22-month-old. On our drive home from the doctor's office yesterday, I decided we should stop and get something for lunch because I didn't really have time to make anything before nap time (and I didn't really feel like making anything).

I said: Kathryn, where should we eat?
She said: On couch.

Clearly, she missed the point of my question, and she refused to let me rephrase it. Every time I tried to ask it differently, she'd say, "No. Eat on couch."


In doctor's appt news: NewBaby is the only one there (no twins) and is about 1" long right now. Dr. estimates my due date at January 11, but said not to plan any holiday traveling (based on Kathryn coming two weeks ahead of her due date). So, it's pretty much what I thought. Oddly enough, Kathryn was due August 11 and actually came July 29, so I guess NewBaby could come as early as December 29. I'm thinking more like Jan 4, though.

my sister is due on christmas eve, however she is "planning" on being earlier as well.

is it possible for the two of you to get together and coordinate your plans so that i don't have to miss any of these new babies?

thank you for your time. :P

well, we will be out of town from dec 24th to jan 2, so if you can have Newbaby (which is a fab name btw) not come for those 2 weeks that would be fabu. i'm in the smae line of thinking, you, sarah, and another friend of mine all due within 2 weeks from each other...i must coordinate the holidays now. april was a popular month. ;)

and truly twins would have been a handful. i mean, 2 Newbabies, kathryn, AND henry....

but glad you and Newbaby are healthy.

a new year's eve baby. i would shoot for when kids are back in school...only because then your child gets to have their locker decorated on their big day! unlike me who never got to experience that! kathryn will miss it as well! sad day!

Well, that would only be fair, Brittan. OF course, it will be difficult enough making NewBaby's birthday feel special right after Christmas.

Meg, I will do my best to coordinate with Sarah on our delivery dates. I'm guessing you'd like a reasonable window of time between them so you can load everyone into your car to head to Ohio. ;)

Rachelle, I really have no intention of having this baby in 2007, so you should be fine. Enjoy your trip and don't worry about us. We're aiming for a Jan 4 birthday, which should also give Meg plenty of time to recover from having to dote over Sarah's new baby.
