The Debate Is Over Or Is It?
To attend the reunion or not... After much debate and discussions as well as a blog poll, I am officially going to the reunion (see disclaimer below...) I will be leaving on Thursday afternoon before Labor Day and returning on Labor Day with three other guys. For a piece of mind, I have checked into the cost of flights and will also be checking into car rentals for a one way trip.
The blog poll overwhelmingly determined it was okay to venture off for a few days. So, this will be my last trip with the guys as just a husband. The poll resulted in 21 yes/yes, no problem votes, no no votes and only four that dad was crazy (one of which was mom-to-be). I know of two more, one of which after reading my blog about the trip backed off and basically said good luck with a tough decision. The blog poll was not the only advice that was taken into account. Our doctor was consulted and he didn't hesitate to say to plan it after finding out that the reunion is 9 hours plus away. During the tour of the hospital, we also questioned the nurses in the LDR (labor delivery room) and the nursery and they said that there isn't a reason not to go. It was also suggested that mom-to-be just put herself on bedrest during that time. Also, now that we are in child birth classes, we have learned and understand what is expected etc.
With all of that said, the plan is for the dad-to-be to attend the 50th Reunion. However, there is still three more doctor appointments that might change something, so an open mind is still required, but all engines are full steam ahead with one hand on the emergency brake... ;)!!
