Bellacam- don't beat yourself up- Aidan will be just fine! Joshua had some genitalia 'issues' the first year of his life. nothing that required surgery, but basically his circ didn't heal quite right and the tip of his 'p' would only come out if I pushed it out while cleaning it. I pointed it out to his pediatrician, and she said something about non-circumcised babies having that problem....I was like, "Uh, he IS circumcised!" She grabbed his chart and was a bit flustered and said, "Oh....well the foreskin is reattaching itself to the end of the *****, so you gently just need to work it off every so often with vaseline." That was great fun. She did say when he got older and was walking that the tip of the 'p' would naturally come out, and so it did. But man, any time something is slightly wrong with our babes, we moms don't take it lightly, do we!? It will all be OK. I really hope they don't let you go until Nov 29th- I thought 37 weeks for you was around the 10th or so? I just know from experience not to mess around with high blood pressure and big babies. I know you are delivering him via c-section, so his size doesn't matter quite as much as far as you getting him out, but Josh had breathing problems and glucose balancing problems the first 2-4 days (breathing the first 36 hours- glucose the 36 hours or so after that). And all the doctors and nurses said the ONLY reason he had those problems was because of his size- if he were a pound lighter he would have been fine. his poor body was just used to Momma doing all the regulating, and that much mass on a baby is too hard on them.
Sigh....that was just the worst. They wanted to discharge me from the hospital and keep him another day or two and I was like, "No. I'm staying." Luckily they had the room, so I could stay, but I was STIR CRAZY as I had been in there 5 days total.
Anyway, two stories for you ladies to laugh at- DH was insistent that the cats should be able to sleep in the boys room now that it's getting cold. I didn't want them to, because I said to DH, "There is going to be poop or pee that I will have to clean up tomorrow morning." He dismissed me. Guess who had a pile of steaming poop on his comforter this AM? And guess who had to clean it up? (hint- not me!) Men.
I appreciate that he is so nurturing towards the cats, and don't want them to be chilly, but I said, "Let's allow them access to the basement, but keep their food and water on the porch. If they get too cold they can sleep down there, where it is insulated." He didn't like my idea the other day, but he is now warming up to it.
My other story of how my DH is weird, is that last night I was looking at the Unofficial Guide to WDW's map of the Poly. I asked what building he hopes we get and he basically said anything but the buildings that are towards the TTC. I said, "Well, it might be handy to be towards that on the days we want to go to Epcot. We can just walk to the Epcot monorail and it will be so close." And he actually says, "I don't want to take that monorail first- I want to get on the Poly monorail, loop it around, then get on the Epcot monorail. I'm paying to stay at the Poly to use it, and I like the monorail- it's like a pre-ride." And I said, "Yeah, but it's so convenient and such a time saver to just take the Epcot monorail- what the heck are you thinking? We will have 3 kids, a stroller, a backpack- you really want to wait in line twice for the monorail and go up and down those ramps? I don't!" So he says, "Fine- then you take Molly and your parents and go to Epcot directly, and the boys and I will ride around."
I just don't think he was 'getting' it, or if he was, then I just can't say, "yeah, that sounds like a great idea! What fun!" I remember staying at the CR, and how long the monorail would sometimes stop at the Poly, the GF, the MK.....it wasn't always a quick loop. I think he's on crack or something. That and he said, "You're doing it again! You're getting all uptight about getting here and getting there- you said you wouldn't do this this trip!" And I said, "This isn't about being uptight- this is about using common sense on how to get to point A to point B during peak time at WDW!"
Where is a "duh" smilie!
Well, my luck ran out- Molly is up. She slept in til 9 though; can't complain and Josh is still asleep! Nice! I have had two hours where I have gotten some laundry done, put dishes away and made some phone calls cancelling a bunch of free trials with Sunshine....I'm up to almost $100 that I have earned thru them for our trip. Our meal (or most of it) at Narcoossee's is almost paid for! Now I just gotta do another $100 or so for CG.
We have a change jar too that we are hoping will be enough for our share of the rental car. And then I'm hoping to do some subbing in Jan and Feb so I can earn some more food/souvenir money.
OK- gotta go get Miss Molly!
ETA- GLT- is your car fixable!?!? How long will you be without it?
WTG on getting a raise already! That's fabulous! Sorry your son has been sent home from school twice in the past week for being ill 
What a tough week 
. I was just so upset. It seems like every opportunity just fizzles out for us. The knew what his salary requirement were. Why would he take a job that is so much less. I guess they figure we don't need to eat or anything. Food is overrated. I don't know how the could expect people to live on what they offered to my DH. It was totally insulting. 
LOL about the poo. I think your idea sounds great!!!
