well, I suppose. my little son is sick, & expressed his misery all night in high decibels, so running on no sleep, trying my best to not *** anything up too bad at work.
I'm sitting with a wonderful hot water bottle on my neck and I think I'm going to watch Bones....or stencil the crib, can't decide. Serious nesting compulsions at the moment.
How are you?
Oh man! This will probably be the last bit of energy and creative bursts you'll have for three or four months. It's definitely god to capitalize on these feelings before she comes and you feel like a slug for a month or so.
That REM sleep deprivation. Even if you co-sleep, you still wake up feeling like your brain seeped out through your nostrils, mouth, and ears during the three hour periods of sleep you actually get.

Yeah, this should be an interesting experience :) Mil's parents are coming to stay with us for a few weeks, so that should help with some things. My garden will get planted, at least :)
My sister-in-law gave birth in December and she has yet to have a full nights sleep. It'll be like college finals....but with no definitive end date in sight! :p

That's good. Are his parents Danish or are they coming in from the states? Did you two meet while attending FSU? (I think it was FSU you mentioned.) You really do gain a new appreciation for your parents, and pretty much every familial bond. That's always good. You get a little time in for some personal reading when you're actually awake between feedings. The quiet time is nice.
Oh no! The six-week measure is finicky at best. Your poor sis. LOL! Probably the best way to describe it. "How do I manage everything and with such little TIME and sleep in the coming week to get the best results?"

We're both from the states. I've never gone to FSU. I mentioned Georgia Tech, but that is Mil's alma mater. I finished my BS in Denmark, and my masters here after maternity leave. Our meeting was odd and it was actually in Tallahassee but not at school :) We've been together for almost 15 years.
After listening to my sister-in-law, experiencing the lead-up to labor, and then reading about the insane feeding schedules for the next few months I have a great respect (and sadness) for women who go back to work after 6 weeks in the US.

Must have been someone else. That is awesome! Gauging from my cousins' curricula in Germany and Austria, it seems like undergrads in Europe are so much more intensive. Grats on both the impending Masters and the length!
It's rough. You could use your additional holiday/sick time, but there's always the scheduling for the check-ups and if there were a point at which he or she would get sick, what would you do? I'm a little envious of the girls I know who took the teaching route. They can schedule their births to where, not only could they use the rest of their holiday time, but have the entire summer to accommodate their babies. I was fiddling with tagging on my teachers certification for a while for that reason.
I wish we would adopt the European/Canadian standard for maternity leave!

Up to 52 weeks, 4 prior to birth (mother), 2 after birth (father), 14 after birth (mother), 32 to split between mother and father.
It is a mixture of full salary, reduced salary, further reduced salary, and unpaid, depending on how it is distributed. If the baby is early, the weeks prior to birth are annulled at that point.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
