The weekend is FINALLY here!
Feb. 17th, 2012 07:42 pmI have another nephew! This is an "other" nephew... from my "other" sister. My parents had to adopt grandchildren before my youngest sister started conceiving (as me and my other sister weren't actively working toward giving my parents grandchildren any time in the foreseeable future... or, ever, really) and we call the parents our "other" brother and sister. So the kids (who call me Aunt just like my blood nephews) get to be my "other" niece and nephew.
This new baby is ADORABLE. And a miracle! He was conceived three years after his mother's IUD was inserted and the odds of that happening are less than 1%. It was a problem pregnancy from the beginning but he went full term (but not much beyond that) and came out healthy. The IUD had moved up through J's fallopian tubes and was FLOATING in her body cavity. Between the three scans they had over the 12 hours after his birth, it moved to three very different parts of her body before they could go in and get it. So many things could have gone wrong and seriously hurt (or killed) J or the baby but they didn't and everyone is breathing a big sigh of relief.
I was going to drive to Boise for the Girl's State Basketball Tournament but nothing was working out easily. You know when things just fall into place, you know that it was meant to be. This just wasn't working out. So I decided not to go and got takeout Chinese instead. *grins*
And because I'm not galavanting around, I HAVE to write this weekend. I made a special little challenge at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
5_prompts just to spur me to FINISH everything I have set up to do. I'm not daring to make a list because I always pick a few things that I'm NOT going to do but I HAVE to do it all so I'm just going to work on one thing and a time and get them all done!
Of course, I should also get some sleep. I was up until 2am again. So many voices in my head, right now. It's all very disconcerting and I wish I knew what I could do about it. I think I'm going to take some Benadryl tonight. Here's hoping it helps... or that I remember!
