It's almost baby's first thanksgiving. We'll be visiting a coworker of Fred's and I have only to make stuffing! Easy peasy, I'll be making celery onion and apple stuffing in the slow cooker.
It has been an interesting 11 weeks with baby.
Fred was off the first 3 weeks of her life. We managed pretty well together but I was so worried for when he was to go back to work. Thankfully I only had a few days alone with him at work before Connie came. Whew! She helped with baby when she screamed during the night holding and bouncing her to ready her to eat as I pulled my boob out and placed the little plastic nipple cover on.
Then Bill came for a few days towards the end and they were sleeping in the living room. Connie on the couch and Bill on the folded over 2 inch memory foam cover that we had purchased for our bed. Even cramped, it was a nice arrangement and glad to have them over.
Then a few more days alone with baby and my mom came. Yay! She was able to manage through the plane ride, to her own consternation. She has claustrophobia and stress induced asthma and was worried that she would panic. But she held it together and made it here. Then stayed for 3 lovely weeks. It was nice, we got to walk together with baby and leave fred home with baby and go to breakfast etc... The she went home on the train, not wanting to face the airplane again. Not a pleasant 51 hour train ride so it seemed. Uncomfortable with people falling over you as they sleep and loud snorers. Overly expensive crappy food etc...
And then there were three again. But now it is Thanksgiving week and Fred has off Tuesday through Sunday.
