A nice, leisurely start to the day! Nola slept in a little--so nice, therefore Kevin and I did also :)
Got up, coffee, breakfast, dressed...typical. Then I thought, "I better phone and confirm my appointment for 2 o'clock just in case", so I phoned and talked to the appointment desk. Yes, Jeanette Macleod, yes appointment today, scheduled for 9:45 am! WHAT?
I looked at the clock and it was 8:30 am. I laughed and said we weren't going to make it in time, so what did she suggest. We decided we needed to get in the car and boot it to Calgary, safely of course, and she would let them know I would be late.
Grabbed everything around the house in high gear. Now that's when teamwork becomes important. This is when the unwritten "to do" lists of husbands and wives takes over...and we didn't forget anything!
We managed to get there at 10:15 am and much to my surprise I got in right away... I think I should've been late for my appointments for the last 12 weeks. Kevin and Nola went to Tim's for a coffee and treat and then parked. By the time they joined me the ultrasound was done and together we had a brief conference with the Perinatologist.
Again, everything looks great. She should be just under 5 pounds now (2.2 kg today). She was practicing her breathing, rolling and tumbling around inside showing them good movement and the heart was a steady 56/57. Aces.
Cruised on outta there with a pep in our step. Headed to Arby's for some Roasted Beast and hit the road home. Back in time for naps all around! Even Sarge ;)
The rest of the day resulted in family time, a very cranky and fussy Nola :( , crocheting and Animal Planet documentaries.
And the beat goes on... :D
