The club looks much older from the outside, but it's quite nice once you're there. They had an open bar (which I fully took advantage of by ordering my share of Shirley Temples), appetizers while everyone mingled, and a delicious three course dinner that ended with a really nice dessert buffet. I'm impressed that the staff at SPH were so thoughtful to their residences. Michael brought home a mug from Birks. We're gonna see how many he can collect by the end of his residency. But of course, a good party cannot be complete without dancing or a bit of drama. After we were all seated, the MC of the night began with the usual greetings. After a little while, someone from our table noticed one of the guests from the party slumped over in a couch just outside the dinning room. Of course, it didn't take long for the doctors to respond. Apparently he was just very tired, maybe had a little too much to drink, and wanted to go home. This set of a discussion about who you'd rather have around in an emergency, an ER doctor or an anesthesiologist. I had never thought about it and from what I've seen on TV, I assumed an ER doctor would likely be able to handle an uncontrolled situation much more efficiently than an anesthesiologist. But good points were brought up about how an anesthesiologist is trained to secure airways and would likely be able to handle any hemodynamic issues that would arise much better than any ER doctor could......interesting.
I wonder if all the talk about twins, babies, and birthing at the Christmas party has me a little spooked, but lately I've been feeling some uterine tightening. Could these be those Braxton-Hickes contractions that I have read about? They don't last very long and it doesn't happen that often but they are not comfortable. My mini goal is to make it to next week (32 weeks).
I think I'm finally nesting. I want to make sure the house all ready and clean for when the babies arrive. I'm hoping I have about 3 weeks to get everything on my list done. If not, then Michael will have to pick up the slack.
Onto another topic, lately I've had to increase my Diclectin intake as it seems my nausea is returning with a vengeance, especially in the mornings. I could spend a good 15 minutes standing over the toilet trying to control my gag reflex and not vomit because I simply coughed. The Diclectin does leave me quite tired in the afternoons, hence the wonderful nap I had today.
Sorry the grammar has been atrocious lately. Too lazy to proof-read.
