The Big 3-0 November 20, 2006
I hit the 30 week mark yesterday. That’s just unreal to me. I mean, we have at most 9 weeks left. I can’t wrap my brain around that at all.
There are other things going on right now that are keeping me from really digesting the whole 30 week milestone. The big one is that Muffy isn’t doing well at all. We’re watching her display the same exact symptoms that Dixie did towards the end of her battle with renal failure. It’s impossible to predict how much time she has left with us, but I don’t think it’s a whole lot. I’m trying to stay strong and make sure she’s well taken care of and loved, but it’s impossible for me not to feel like an emotional mess over the whole situation.
We’re also hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year. Both Dan’s family and mine will be in attendance, so that makes for a total of 14 people including the two of us. Everyone except one of Dan’s brothers who lives in town will be staying over at least one night. We’ll have 13 people sleeping here Thursday night. It’s going to be a full house. I guess those 4.5 bathrooms will finally come in handy.
While I’m glad everyone will be able to get together for the holiday, the timing isn’t too great given the whole Muffy situation. It’s not like these things can be planned, though. I just hope it all works out.

Congrats on the big 3-0!
And your first Thanksgiving fete? Lovely. We had our first one a few years back (and are doing it again this year) and it was wonderful. It’s nice to have a full house of loved ones. Enjoy the special time–and yes, I bet those 4.5 bathrooms will come in very handy indeed!
Have a great time :-)
Wow- 30 weeks. Why did you say “9 weeks at most?” Will you be induced at 38 or 39 weeks for some reason?
Have a great Thanksgiving. Just think compared to a year ago? And I know you don’t like to think this far ahead, but I’ll do it for you. The holidays next year with a cute little boy around. Wow!
Yep, induction is the plan as of right now. I elaborated more in this post: http://www.mananabanana.brainwidth.net/2006/10/23/two-thirds/
wow! now the countdown begins! only 9 weeks (at most!) to go. enjoy your family!
~hugs~
I find it interesting – sad as well – but interesting, that your cats are leaving you as your son arrives. Some weird kind of karma swapping?
I hope all the cooking goes well.
I can’t believe it’s so soon! AIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Wow. 30 weeks.
And Thalia’s comment – I hadn’t thought of it that way but it does seem to make some kind of weird, cosmic, if painful, sense…Still blows, though.
Holy smoke Batman, 30 weeks, just crazy Amanda, I’m so sorry about Muffy!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Amanda, I’m sorry about Muffy. I hope she improves!
Wow on the 30 weeks, congrats! And good luck with thanksgiving dinner, Happy Turkey Day!
Wow- 30 weeks! It feels like yesterday that you were doing your fet!
And I do hope that Muffy is ok, as ok as she can be knowing how ill she is. Sending you much love. x
Dear Amanda, wow, it really looks like there is a lot to be thankful for this year — 30 weeks is wonderful. I hope you had a great thanksgiving in that large family circle. And I’m so sorry about Muffy…
Amanda,
I’m so sorry about Muffy :(
As happy as I know you are about the upcoming new addition to your family, for many of us our cats truly are a part of our family and just as much loved. I’m sorry that your happiness has to be overshadowed by worrying about the loss of a treasured pet. I hope she will hang in there.
Congrats. on the 30 week mark! When I first saw your post, I thought you were announcing turning 30 (which I would not be too sympathetic about as I turned 37 today :( !
Hope your Thanksgiving ended up going well. That was a lot of guests.
Hey Amanda!! Congrats on the 30, sorry I missed it, but wooo hooo Im back for the 3-1!!
Thinking about you!
