Mini vacation gone bad and update on the kidney saga.

I've started my maternity leave yesterday in the hope of taking these last few days before M is born to rest and to get everything ready. What I really wanted was a few days at home all alone, with Zé Maria at work and R at school so I could just watch TV, read my book, play some Sudoku and maybe do alittle shopping. Obvisouly, that's not what I got. R is still sick and is staying home with me so all my great plans have gone down the drain. Don't get me wrong, I love my daugther and I love spending time with her, but I had been dreaming of these days by myself... I feel like God is testing me, and letting me know it will not be easy to have two kids.

Anyway, yesterday I decided I wouldn't change my plans again and I went to meet the beautiful Lioness. R behaved appallingly so I'm sure she will never want to meet me again. I hope I'm wrong though, because I really liked her, and I was surprised that I wasn't surprised by her. She was just like I expected her to be. (J, I'm so sorry we were rushed by the little brat)

Today I have my last ultrasound, to finally decide on the c-section vs vaginal delivery. And then I have my BIL's birthday party. Which reminds me, by the way, that the surgeon called and said everything is ready for the transplant and we could choose anyt date after November 3rd. My BIL and Zé Maria talke it over and decided he will start imuno-supression right after Christmas and the surgery will be in the second week of January. I guess it's the best for everyone.
