Marathon

Before I begin with this post-

I must say thank you!

Thank you dear friends for the outpouring of

prayers, well-wishes, and love!

I suppose this pregnancy "fun" ::sarcasm:: came across more serious than it really is-

but regardless-

I appreciate you all.

Now-

you may stop panicking/worrying.

Today felt like a marathon of a day!

Chadd had his first day of new classes, put in some hours at work {with Gavinn- bahah}, and had a chiropractic appointment {also with Gavinn- bahah!!}.

I had a morning meeting, a new student to welcome, and a 3:00 doc appointment.

This required some juggling and favors for someone to watch my students for 10 minutes so I wouldn't have to take a 1/2 sick day.

(Have I ever mentioned how fantastic the people are I work with? They are pretty awesome.)

I signed in for my BPP (Bio-Physical Profile) ultrasound and was given the lovely

"this is how much the delivery will cost you from the hospital" bill.

Who doesn't LOVE getting those?!

::Again with the sarcasm::

The BPP was super speedy fast!

Teagan was very cooperative (did I JUST admit that?!), scored ALL her points, and my fluid level is up to an 11!

SHWEET!

After the BBP, I headed for a NST (Non-Stress Test) and was hooked into that machine

F-O-R-E-V-E-R. (The nurse more or less lost track of time.)

From what I saw it looked great- but I'm not a doctor who interprets the data.

Then it was time to wait for the doc.

Usually I just text him and I get right in.

(It's fantastic!)

This time however- he was W-A-Y backed up so I actually had to...

::hold your breath::

WAIT!

Can you believe that?!

Luckily for doc I brought a great book and was happily munching on my must-have apple slices.

(And knowing that I've never really had to wait for him before... I felt it was only fair.)

Finally it was my turn and the moment of truth arrived.

"I" thought the results were good- but ultimately it's Doc's call.

I'm quite happy to report that Doc gave us all a clean bill of health and we don't have to do these tests anymore!

Hallelujah!

Well- I take that back- we will do another NST in a few weeks BUT that's IT!

I walked out of the doc's office at 6:00.

That's 3 hours worth of doctor office(s).

Yikes.

I was very excited to get home and put my feet up!

Now, because I sent you all into panic/worry mode for no reason-

here is my gift to you (after my marathon day mind you)

{35 weeks (and some change)}

You.are.welcome!
