Been Hectic

It's been a hectic past week or so. Lots of running around trying to get errands done and things set up, ready for our trip to NB. It seems kind of surprising to me that it is so crazy but I guess there is lots of other stuff going on as well.
We've finally decided on a date of June 24th for the baby shower. We've got a start on that now. Just a few things to iron out.
Got a clean bill of health at the dentist, and an okay hair cut on Thursday as well as visited the Dr. Interestingly enough both my dental hygenist and my hair dresser were both twins, both of the variety where a single egg splits and is fertalized by two different sperm, so kind of half identical.
My visit to the doctor went well although I got some surprising news. She figures I will have to leave work in just a few short weeks. She doesn't think I will have the energy to maintain full days without a nap, and she is a bit concerned that if I continue baby B will be the one to suffer. So I talked to EI (who does sick leave and maternity as you may or may not know) and they suggested that I take my sick leave starting mid-next week! This is because we will be gone from the 17th to the 29th and I will not be paid for that missed work, so it would be pointless to go back to work for a week due to the way they calculate what you will recieve. By that same token it wouldn't make sense for me to go back for half days or work part time from home either, because any length of time I work less than full time gets counted and the amount I would get paid from EI drops. Crazy but I guess it's better not to work at all then to work part-time. I don't know what I am going to do with myself all summer but I am sure after the first few days I will find some tasks to occupy me. Perhaps get all the stuff I put off dealt with before the kids make it impossible to do.
I guess that's all the excitement here, we are looking forward to our visit to NB and Daniel's wedding! Yay! NOT looking forward to the flight though. Ugh.
