There really are no words.
Hubby and I arrive home in 9 days.
Mum is still with sprogged sister.
Mum has NOT YET BOOKED a return flight.
Dad says mum will still not be able to make it back before we arrive home.
This email will get sent....
I've talked with Hubby. The concert is the night of the 18th and we're leaving before lunch on the 19th. We'll be home than night for sure.
I am assuming that given that everyone is happy and healthy and there were no problems, Mum will be home for our arrival, yes?
Since there is no return ticket booked that would require a huge change fee and sis/baby are healthy, there is really no reason for this to be a 'long story'.
Basically, given the time we have, the effort we have put into this trip home, the amount of time since the last first and the fact that this is Hubby's first visit, quite frankly, if she is not there, we're not sticking around to see her. I'm beyond insulted and hurt and if this is the time for me to put my foot down, so be it. I'm tired of being the one to 'understand' when no one else seems to ever understand why I am upset.
If you both want to see both of us, you'll be there. If not, you won't. This it how it is. End of long story, as there is none.
Harsh?? Sister gave birth on the 27th June. We're back on the 19th. I've not been home in 3 years. Is it WRONG to expect my mother to be home when we get there???

Pluses and Minuses
Things are starting to look up in CFT land.
I got a job. This is a good thing.
My hubby arrives soon. Double, super good thing.
I had a good long weekend. I got burnt, but hey, life happens.
What do these seemingly uninteresting things have to do with being CF?
My job is at a catholic school. You know how THEY can be, right? The priest asked me if hubby and I had kids. I was honest and I said that no, we did not want to have children. He gave me that *oh so sorry* look and I said: (I don't know WHERE I got this from...)
"If I had kids, someone would suffer, either my own children or my students. I have chosen to make my students the #1 priority in my life as far as children go. I don't feel I can be a truly effective teacher with my own children at home."
GO ME!! Did I ace that interview or what??!!!
This weekend, with friends, one of our friends was talking about her upcoming wedding and how as soon as she is married, she's stopping the pill. She obviously wants kids. She turns to me, married for just under a year, and says, "OH! I just KNOW you will be pregnant by the end of next year!!"
*sigh*
I say "OH no, I won't. I can guaran-fucking-tee it!"
She says again that she thinks I will. I just shook my head.
I give her credit in that she never pushed it beyond that and then started talking about her own baby plans.
I also met Bob this weekend. Bob is the cutie pet dog of my friends. I got all gushy and cutesy with Bob and did the whole "You're such a good boy, Bob. Sooo cute!!" My friends asked why I can't do that to babies. I said babies are NOT cute, hense, not possible to do that. :P
All in all, a good CF weekend.
How's you all doing?

She's heeeeerrreee!!!!
The golden sprog has arrived!! All hail mighty golden sprog.
This cutesy email from my sister, written from the baby. Someone shoot me.
Hello Everyone!!
Sorry I have taken so long to email but it was a quite the journey out of the birth canal and Mom, dad and I have not slept much! I sleep all day and then party all night...not too sure if mommy and daddy like this, but they will get used to me. I put mommy through 33 hours of labour, only 7 off that was intense and then mommy said, "give me some pain killers" she got the epidural at 8 cm dilated and then when I was ready to be pushed out the dr. got called to emergency c-section and mommy was told not to push, easier said than done because I was coming! The dr. was then called in and at that time the epidural wore off mommy and she could feel everything!! My daddy was the best labour partner for mommy and kept her calm and cool and she only had to push for 30 mins to get me out. I am completely healthy and weigh 9lbs and 21 inches. I have the best daddy in the world and he taught mommy how to change me, swaddle me and he stays up with mommy all night too. Mommy likes to play dress up with me but realized just how hard it is to put on "trendy clothes" I am real wiggle and I have a bobble head!!
Gma and Gpa are here to help look after me and they are cooking good meals for us. I think I am getting spoiled with LOVE, but I enjoy it. I pull some funny faces and sometimes I feel like I am just entertaining mom, dad, gma and gpa! I am sending you some pictures so who will recognize me when we meet.
Until then I will be eating, farting and sleeping and pooing only when daddy changes me!
Love to you all,
Baby Golden Sprog
