EDD Change

So, after my "big" scan back in December, the doctor measured Ryan a little bit behind was my doctor was saying was my due date (which I always thought was crap anyway, because Ryan must have just had a growth spurt right before my first u/s and was measuring ahead -- he never has again).

When I went in for my next appt and we talked about the results of the scan, he said that the other doctor had my EDD (estimated due date) at May 10th, but we weren't going to change it, because it was so close and really, it's a guess anyway. And I was fine with that.

However, when I went to pick my my FMLA paperwork for my job to turn in, they had my EDD as MAY 10!!! WTF? So, essentially, we changed it anyway. That's kind of frustrating to me. But, I'll get over it. It's only 4 days. But, then I decided that I'm just going to take May 4 through July 9 as leave and see what I get paid for. I really think that I should get 3 weeks vacation (which I know I will get, because I HAVE to take it) and 6 weeks paid leave (at 60%) from Prudential. Which really leaves 2 or 3 days unpaid, which I will get over anyway. We'll see what I get approved for. I think that I should be approved for the whole thing. It's just a matter of getting paid for all of it too.

Plus, at this point, who knows what will happen? I could go into labor on April 30th and then it's all moot.


In other news, our shower is April 4th. Boys and girls are invited. The invites are going out very soon. Like Monday. Actually, my mom already hand delivered one of them, to a person that I was friends with growing up. We didn't have his address anyway and it saves postage. :)

Jake, however, being Jake, and having no memory for dates, okayed a gig for the same day, in Green Bay. Now, it IS at 8pm in GB, so it's really not that big a deal, except he'll have family in town who might think he's nuts. Plus, the gig pays $125, which is pretty good. And frankly, I don't care if he has a gig. I just care, that, like ALWAYS, he approves his gigs without asking me first. If he had, we would have talked about it and reached the same conclusion -- that he should take the gig, because it's not interfering with the shower and it's good money that we need. But, still frustrating, because then he gets upset that he has to run around and be busy and it's really his own fault.

He also okayed a gig without reading for May 7th in Sheboygan. Again, I don't care if he takes the gig, especially since we can always use the extra money, but he just has this insane idea that he can't tell the band that he has to leave, if necessary. Sheboygan is only an hour away, so I doubt that it's really a big deal, but this is almost asking me to go in labor on May 7th, just because he'll be out of town.

He's impossible to talk to about any of this stuff, because I swear, he just thinks that he can't upset the band because they don't have a back up trumpet player, so I will pretty much always come second to whatever the band is doing, plus he doesn't want to rock the boat.

I'm about ready to email the guy myself and tell him what's what. That Jake is NOT answering his stupid text messages between 8 and 5 any more, especially during the week OR that he needs to start texting me instead, because the master calendar is ALWAYS in my head.

Frustrating with hubby aside, I am really looking forward to the shower. We went and checked out the room Thursday night (in the POURING RAIN!!!) and it's a good size for the party. There are windows right into the ice rink, which is kind of annoying, but we'll have to find some cool decorations or something to cover it up a bit more. There are several long flat tables and a few roundies. The Kitchen comes with and it's HUGE!! So, mom and I are feeling pretty good about it. I have to run over to Sam's and order cake. We'll also pick up margarita stuff too. Hopefully, a party store will have some funky glasses to use that don't cost too much. I'm thinking of dragging Jake over to the party store -- maybe see if Mom wants to go too -- today and looking a decorations and stuff. I'm just a freak about planning stuff.

I made my own shower invites and it was really, really enjoyable. I wish that I had more graphic design background and more ideas for stuff like that. That would be a really good business to try to start. I just forgot how much I like doing that stuff.

Oh well. I should eat something. Ryan's hungry. ha ha. :)
