Another Busy Weekend

My Mom's surgery went fine. She was bad for the first day, but by the 2nd, she was able to get out of bed and even do a little cooking. By Saturday, the third day, I was able to leave. My 93 year old grandmother would come over to "help," so I would get to take care of both of them and listen to them bicker, but overall, it all went well.

I had another grueling weekend. I worked all Friday night and did not leave the office until 1am on Saturday. Everything went well, though, and there should not be a lot more crazy weekend work between now and when baby comes, since the project that was driving all the weekend work is now complete. Of course, now that I typed that I just received an email that I need me to work 3 Friday nights in July :(

So I finished up at 1am on Saturday and my sister, her husband, and my niece arrived on a flight from India at 5am. Luckily, my Mom was the lucky one who went to pick them up and took them back to the hotel. My niece is spending a lot of time at our house with T while my sister and her husband are working in Manhattan. It has been interesting so far and a nice experience for T to spend time with his cousin who he barely sees since she lives so far away. She is about 6 months younger than him. They are such different kids. T is really high energy with a big personality and always wanting lots of attention. She is much more subdued and able to self-entertain. It has not been as much work as we thought it would be having her around because she is so easy going. Regardless, it is still good practice for Y and I to take care of 2 kids at once. We really love T and all his crazy antics, but we definitely won't mind if #2 is a bit more mellow.

My sister leaves on Friday, so Y are I are going to start getting ready in earnest for the baby this weekend. We really need to get moving. Delivery, if I make it to the scheduled delivery, will be 7-8 weeks from now.
