Stew, Steve and Lacy are leaving bright and early this morning... cos they have to get the spare tyre fixed before they head up to Kerikeri to pick up the bulk of Lacy's furniture.
All going well, they will be home again sometime tonight.
Now... Lacy had her 28 week growth scan yesterday.
There had been concern about the size of her baby... in that she was too small.
Lacy had some blood tests on Monday. They were checking her for gestational diabetes. Her blood test came back a bit high.
And the scan now shows Miss Muppet is above average for size!!! Not alarmingly, she's on the 63% percentile. So Lacy has to have another series of blood tests asap (most likely Friday)... to check for gestational diabetes again to made a definitive diagnosis.
Today the kids and I will hang out at home... I think I will get some blog reading done even!
All going well.
Cos lately... anything can come along to stuff up me day and plans.
Hell... I might even get in the spa pool and chill out for a while!
ONWARD...
Plans are awash.
The damaged tyre cannot be repaired. So right now they are driving around looking for a new tyre.. which is proving difficult as it's an 'uncommon' tyre.
So much for today being peaceful.
OH and I've almost lost me voice... the kids are arguing and I can't yell at them. Oh yaaaaa.
Yaaaa... they finally found a tyre in Newmarket... and have just picked up the trailer and are heading up north now. ONLY 45 minutes behind schedule... fingers crossed the rest of the trip/day goes according to plan.
I've been washing a few windows... trying to keep my hands busy ...
LYNISE: yep... I know her Glucose Tolerance test will take ages! If you thought carrying Annalia was hard... imagine how I felt with Steve (10 pound 12 ounces) and Mike (10 pound 4 ounces)!!! AND I had no C-Section.
The 'damage' from their births was finally fixed 4 years ago when I had that big operation to remove uterus, and fix all the 'problems' down there! At least I finally got a new va-ja-ja out of it all... ha ha ha!
FINALLY: stood on scales after being totally slack for the past two months.
I have lost 2.2 kilos since the last time I stood on dem scales. I'm rather surprised! But, all good.
I've heard from them travelling north... all is going well.
I heard from the 'travellers'... they managed to fit all of Lacy's furniture and household effects into the furniture trailer/inside our Highlander and on the roof rack ... JUST. It sounds like it was a bit of a mission. I'm glad they got it all though.... now when she gets her own place to live she will be set up with all the necessary stuff.
Stew said they were going to swing by Paihia too, as Steve has never been there. So, Bex and I don't expect them home until fairly late.
I'm gunna have a nice dinner waiting for them.
Lamb chops slowly cooked in thick mint sauce. They will love that.
Steve sent me the following picture and a text saying they were "cutting it fine" as they came into Whangarei!!! OMG... NO GAS....
IDIOTS! Lucky they got there before running out completely.
7.45pm: The 'travellers' are back in Auckland, busy unloading Lacy's gear into the storage facility in Botany... then they will be home for dinner... which is good cos Griffin is about ready to start gnawing his own arm with hunger... he is always hungry that kid!
MARY H: thanks for that! My darling man should be in the 'line up'... FOR SURE!
End of Day: family travellers home safe. Dinner... yum....everyone tired and a bit grumpy.
ON TRACK: nooooo, had a creme egg that Bex gave me!
nite nite
