Well, my day got turned upside down again. Ok, only the afternoon on.
We were planning to head out to visit daughter, SIL, and not yet born baby on Sunday.
This afternoon daughter texted that at her obstetrician visit today, there has been no progress towards labor. Her due date is Thanksgiving Day. The dr suggested that he would be ok with inducing her on Dec 1 if she hasn’t delivered before then.
Sooo, we have just finished jumping through the hoops necessary to reschedule our departure. Now we are booked to get there ON Thanksgiving Day, and will push everything back 4-5 days. We will arrive early afternoon, and will just make do with whatever provisions we can pull together. The kids may have to do some of the prep, which they are very capable of under normal circumstances. These aren’t normal conditions, though.
It will be WONDERFUL to see them in the flesh, and get to give and receive real hugs instead of just virtual ones. Can’t wait for that little girl to get here, but we must be patient. (Sometimes I’m very patient, and other times, not at all.)
I’m not far behind on my to-do list before I leave, but this will give me a few extra days to make sure everything is in order. A blessing in disguise?
Exciting times!
I was born on the 26th and my oldest sister was very pregnant at the same time as my mom was with me. I guess it was quite a tense Thanksgiving, wondering who was gonna pop first.
Well, at least you didn’t have to cancel! And who knows? Nature always seems to have her own timetable, so it still may happen on Thanksgiving Day!
Beau’s birthday is Nov. 24th, so sometimes his b-day falls on Thanksgiving. We always celebrate him that day, anyway. :)
