So, back at the Matilda (hospital, aka home away from home) again. The staff here knows me fairly well by now! I was leaking some kind of fluid, although at this point it’s not certain what kind, on Saturday so the twins and I are here again and this time I’m stuck on a bed with the head tilted down. I woke up with big puffy lips from having all the blood rushing to my head all night. So for those of you that are looking for that collagen injected look without the needles – I have the solution!
The scariest part of the whole ordeal this time was the taxi ride up here. The Matilda is on
I’ve been watching a lot of terrible movies because the hospital only has a few English channels, two of them seem to exclusively air the worst movies of the last couple decades. Mixed Nuts is on tonight for example. They do get National Geographic however, so I’ve seen lots of animal courtship, amazing machines and killer beasts. One tidbit I have picked up from National Geographic was kind of interesting though. Did you know that if
Last night I was woken up at about 3 in the morning by a crying baby in my room, when I practically jumped out my skin the nurse assured me not to worry “It’s just me and your baby.”. I think I had her worried when I told her it wasn’t my baby. She probably thought I was suffering from post-partum depression and was in denial about having a baby! She finally figured out that I haven’t had my babies yet and went on her way. Now I regret not accepting the baby and at least getting to hold it for a second!
Anyway, keep your fingers crossed that I get sent home soon. The Dr is threatening to keep me here until I deliver (need I remind you – 3 MONTHS from now???). However, I think his bark is worse than his bite and I won’t be here much longer. Also, if you have any websites that you like to waste time on forward them to me please. I’ve got plenty of time to waste!!

Oh Thai...what a colossal bummer. Listen I have to tell you. After I saw your VERY pregger self on your Blog I had the WEIRDEST dream. I dreamed that you and I and a bunch of people we knew were living in a highrise in a forest. There was a rad pool on the roof. You were HUGELY preggers, and then you went into labour. I watched through these weird orange stained glass windows. It was dark and there were orange curtains that the sun was shining through. It was very emotional. Then later we were all sitting around in like a 1970's staff room, and you were there with the babies. The little girl was great, but I was worried because the little boy was on this awful retro brown woven couch, you know the kind, and he was all naked and curled up. He was much smaller than his sister. I picked him up and was talking softly. Then he looked at me and started having a conversation with me. He said, "Don't worry, I may be small but I am very smart. I know what you are thinking." I said, ""You're right, you don't need any help at all, you are going to be just fine." Wacky eh?
I wrote about you on my blog. 'Cuz I love ya! ;P
