Good luck to all of you on the east coast!! I'm glad that the worst we get out of a hurricane here is a little bit of rain... that would be scary to try to figure out what to do with all the animals, especially the chickens! Although maybe I should head up to see krcote - maybe a hurricane would be what I need to get this baby out!! I'm starting to think he's not coming out any other way... (11 days post due today
)
My daughter had her first day of kindergarten yesterday!! I can't believe how grown-up she is becoming; I went to drop her off and I barely even got a wave good-bye. ***sigh***
Then after school, I had to take her to the doctor's because she has an abscess on her chest which just keeps getting worse despite antibiotics. I called to make an appointment in the morning and learned that her doctor wasn't in that day, so grudgingly made an appointment with the other doctor. When we got to her appointment, her doctor was there!! He had called in and found out that she was on the schedule and decided to come in on his day off to see her! He earned MAJOR brownie points!
He took one look at her and decided we needed to lance the abscess (which I knew) and asked if I would be adverse to doing it right then. I was thrilled; when we had talked about lancing it before, he had mentioned going to the hospital across town and making an appointment with a general surgeon, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to be there if I went into labor before then. He walked over to the ER (next door) and asked the doctors there if they minded doing the procedure right then, which they were fine with, so we just headed over.
The doctors over there did an amazing job with her. Its a traumatic, stressful experience for anyone, and they really went out of their way to make the experience as positive as possible.
So the poor kid... had one of the best days of her life coupled with one of the worst! She will probably remember yesterday for a very, very long time!
