"Just so you know...we'll be posting a sign in the future..."

"that will say "no children allowed in the ultrasound rooms.""
(I wonder, what they will do when children need an ultrasound done?)
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"You really can't take all three kids in the room with you. It's small, and it's dark."
"They'll be fine."

Did I think taking all three kids for my prenatal ultrasound was going to be a party?
Probably.
Did I try to find a babysitter for them?
Probably.
Was it my fault one friend is in China, another in Vancouver, and the rest busy chaperoning a field trip for their kids in school?
Probably.
After all, it's probably MY fault that I don't have more friends. :p

The grumpy lady ended up taking Nathan and Melanie behind the reception desk and watching them while they colored. Matthew was in the stroller and fell asleep in the muggy room before half of it was up.
All's well that ends well.

Next time, if I go to the same place, I'll make sure I don't take all three...
or four...

Had you the Stomach Flu?

As I'm not particularly beautiful when I'm sick, I thought Matthew would make a better main subject for my photo shoot.

But I am still around...this picture was taken last night...
when I was mostly over it...

Yesterday morning I was laying of the floor, the kids were crawling all over me, and I was paralyzed by the thought that it was only 8:30am...naptime was another 4 or 5 hours away. I called Mommy911--emergency home babysitting services. I am ever so grateful, as I got to crawl back into bed until Philip came back home--which he did early just for me (and to relieve the emergency babysitting services).

Today I did all my regular morning work, just a little more slowly than normal. And I feel fabulous. I think I'll take it a bit slow for a while yet.

Don't take your health for granted!!
I won't anymore...
for a while.
