So I am not really sure where to start about yesterday, but it started early (after ending really late the night before) and got rather interesting quickly. It was one of those days where if you just laugh it seems to make it all a little better.
Since we went to TN on Wed. for John's great aunt's funeral I had to change my doctor's appointment to Thursday, which meant that Jack would be tagging along. Normally not a big deal, but yesterday it was! HA! We find a parking spot, get out, get the stroller, the diaper bag, and head toward the elevator. Get to the crosswalk on the 5th floor, and what would you know the ELEVATOR IS NOT WORKING! WHAT?? In my mind and I am thinking quickly of what the best way to handle the situation is when the oh-so-rude guy in front of me says "well I guess you can go back out of the parking deck, pay for this parking and then go valet park for $10" I did not say anything back to him, but what I wanted to say was "or you big jerk could carry the umbrella stroller down the stairs for me and we could all be on our merry way" And I will add that the parking deck elevator only goes down to the 5th floor! So I take Jack out of the stroller, fold the stroller, put it and the diaper bag on my shoulder, grab Jack's hand and we start down the 5 flights of stairs. After about 2 flights a nice man and his wife came up behind and got Jack to help move us all along faster. Thank goodness for nice people!
Then, we get to the doctor's office and I am measuring 36 weeks instead of 35 and they had me scheduled to come back in 2 weeks, which would make me almost 37 (or 38 by the measurements) before they had even checked me for the 1st time or done the Beta Strep culture. It also would have put me past when Jack was born at 37 weeks, so they wanted to do all that yucky stuff yesterday, with Jack there and me by myself! After talking to the doctor we decided to start going every week and have all the yucky stuff done next week, when Jack is not with me, except he will be since J has a meeting all day the day of that appointment, so Steph got back up duty and she is coming along to help out!
On top of all that Jack was wonderful the entire time we were there

but we were supposed to try to meet J's dad for lunch and my phone died, J got stuck in a closing, and by the time I got home, got the phone charged and then the message from him he was probably already home! I felt terrible and we missed a yummy Chick-fil-a lunch. But don't worry he got plenty of time with Jack while trying to chase him around the grave yard during the funeral! (don't judge me for that either, it had been 2 hours and he is 2!)Jack refused to nap yesterday, and I was DONE by the time J got home, but I had several errands to run after nap time and we had weekly dinner with Aunt Em, so we bagged these cute cookies for Jack's class at school, picked up our Halloween buckets, made dinner, and got the cutest baby gift for Henry, which made it all better! (and the 2 Reese's pumpkins I ate!)
Hoping the weekend goes a lot smoother and that this baby stays put awhile longer!
