~ Life ~

I did not proof read, I wanted to get this up as soon as I can. I'm aware it's already Thursday for some of you, sorry I was working on this all day mostly and didn't finish it till now.

I also have never been pregnant or given birth myself, so I'm not 100% sure on the complete accuracy of everything, but I tried my best. That being said, It's Go Time!

I rested my hands on my hips as I took deep breaths, after just doing the laundry I'm completely winded. 

At this point, 33 weeks, my stomach is huge, even more so than normal because I'm carrying three babies instead of just one. And my baby girl (who is a lot smaller than the other two) still has room to use my belly as a playground, which often ends in her smashing into my bladder, which is not fun.

My doctor ordered me to house arrest, well not exactly, but she forbids me from working for the rest of my pregnancy; even though I'm not due for six more weeks, she is pretty confident that I will go into labor prematurely given my special circumstances. 

Shoto and I finished packing our hospital bag yesterday, and just now I'm washing everything they are going to wear. Tomorrow Sho and I are going to hop in the car and time different routes to the hospital, that way we'll be totally prepared when the time comes. 

We also took a "birth" class, which was basically a run down of how everything is going to go, and what we both need to do to make my labor run as smoothly as possible. 

Shoto is going to finish this week of work (it's Friday), and then he's taking off too, mainly because there's no one here to take care of me if anything happens, like I pass out or suddenly go into labor. His main concern for now is me feinting, as I have been doing a lot more often recently, and for the first time by myself a couple days ago when I was home alone; which is dangerous, not only for myself but for the babies too.

Because I've not been able to work (I could work from home, but that raises my stress and that's the last thing I need), I've taken a new liking to cooking. I've never really had so much time at home alone to experiment and try new things, so this is the perfect opportunity. 

Plus, Shoto definitely doesn't mind my new hobby, and has offered to eat any leftovers that I don't want. I've been sending him to work everyday with new dishes I've made for all of the other heroes and sidekicks to enjoy for lunch, kind of as a thank you for holding the fort down while I'm on leave.

Last night, Shoto and I also purchased three baby car seats for when we drive home from the hospital, and we've had to switch out our favorite sports car for an SUV, otherwise we'd never be able to fit three car seats in there.

We also came up with a plan for when we load the kids into the car, as that could be very tricky too. The plan is: I will hop into the trunk as Shoto hands me one of the car seats (with the baby already buckled up safely) and I buckle the seat into the middle safely. 

Then I'll hop out of the trunk and head to the side where Sho isn't, and buckle up the second kid while he buckles up the third on the other side.

At least, that's the theory; we'll see if it actually works in practice. I imagine it will probably be a lot more difficult to manage if all three of them are screaming and crying right in our ears. But we'll see how it goes. 

Last week, we also named each of our babies. We sat on the bed, looking through long lists of names, trying to find one that we both really liked and thought fit. Shoto looked up from his screen and asked, "Hey Love, I- well you can say no of course, but can I name our first son?" I thought about it for a moment, "What do you want to name him?" I questioned. He looked a little bashful, but said, "Well, I was wondering if we could name our first son Dashi, after Tadashi of course. You can say no! I just kind of wanted- Are you okay?" My eyes were filled with tears, "You want to name our first son after Tadashi? Why?" I tried to take a deep breath and calm my emotions, but it was difficult. "Tadashi was the most brilliant man I've ever met, not to mention he was brave, strong, and incredibly humble and generous; I couldn't think of a better person to name someone after. I looked up to Tadashi so much, and if any of our children are like Tadashi, I'll be the most proud father in the world." I wiped my eyes and nodded, "I'd love to name our first son Dashi."
