There's a possibility that my FIL may have had a heart attack this morning. They're not sure yet what really happened, but he's in ICU resting comfortably right now. They're saying he's very lucky he got to the hospital when he did, and that if it was indeed a mild heart attack, it may be the precursor to "the big one."
What a coincidence that we planned on shopping for a recumbent exercise bicycle this weekend, huh?
It also made me realize that Bryan's parents aren't as young as mine (well, I KNEW that, but things like this make you realize certain things, y'know?). All the way to the hospital (an hour ride, since I was already at work when I got the call) all I could think was "you're not allowed to die - you don't have a grandbaby yet!" And Bryan was thinking that he needs to start getting paid what he's worth, so we can get out of debt and buy a house already. We'd already come to the conclusion quite a while ago that we'd start TTC when we sign mortgage papers (after watching my parents struggle so long as renters, I will NOT have a baby before I own a home), but we've been saying "oh, it'll happen in about two years" for almost a year and a half now. I was just telling my mom last night that I think I'd be lucky to give birth to my first by the time I'm 30, and my 30th birthday puts Bryan just 2 1/2 months short of his 35th.
Time to get crackin'. I want us to try our damndest to make sure we turn his parents into grandparents while they're still around.
So, no TTC yet, but we're hoping to try to make that happen a little faster.
