What a Day!

Well, the King had an early start.  He left at 6 am to go to work this morning.   The Gooey Babes were all ready by 7 am.  We left the house at 7:30.  Warrior 2 and 3 left earlier because Warrior 3 wanted to eat breakfast at school.

Anyway, work was the usual and then helped package the kids' costumes for May Day.  I went to pickup Warrior 1 at 11am because he has an appointment at Kapiolani at 1 pm.  His routine EEG and MRI.  Then off to pick up Warrior 2 & 3.  We ended up leaving campus at 11:30.  When we went back to the car the King was there keeping Warrior 1 company.  What a surprise!  We said "bye" to the King and off to town.

We finally made it at 12:30...Warrior 1 started his EEG at 1 pm that took about 45 mins.  Waited for another 30 minutes for his MRI since  they were running behind schedule.  Lucky the Warriors brought their DS games because that was a long wait. I was falling asleep.  I dosed off here and there.  Stepped outside to eat some grapes, tangerines and chips.  =)  We finally left the hospital at 4 pm.  Stopped at Golden Coin to pick up some pancit, puto, bbq sticks, longanisa, tocino and some pinakbet.  We finally reached Castle at 4:50 pm ...we were a little early so the Warriors and I had a little picnic on the grassy area at the hospital ground....sharing what we got at Golden Coin.    

We finally headed up to my appointment at 5:20 pm.  We get there and to our surprise we see our cute little neighbor Aaron!  He is so cute.  He is so friendly to greet us with a smile and a "HI".    Anyway, as I sign in...the receptionist tells me that I am not in the system.  HELLO!  I have an appointment at 5:45 pm and I have the card to show you.  Lucky thing Lana (the nurse who usually comes to Kahuku) was there to back me up.  Nope, you are not in the system...but because someone cancelled  we can put you in.  What if no one cancelled?  Would they send me home without being seen?    Anyway...I weighed in at 139.6 lbs.  Dr. Chapman said that my blood pressure was a little high.  131/86.   She assumed that I was stressed from traffic and the long drive.  I didn't even feel stressed but I also don't remember Lana taking my blood pressure.  How is that even possible?  Long day it has been.  =)

Anyway, Chapman checked me twice today.  First check...2 cm.  Second check...70%.  She reminded me that I'll be spotting because of the area is "ripe" and squishy getting ready for delivery.   After she left the room and I cleaned myself up...that was not just spotting.  Try a glob of bright red tissue.  And the gloves she used was covered with blood!  What was she trying to do?  Take the mucus plug out?    As of today..I am  2 cm dilated and 70% effaced.    

Well, we got to Tita 96762's house about 7:15   or so to pick up Princess.  She hung out with them after school because she couldn't miss choir.  Tita 96762 picked her up from choir because the King had a meeting to go to.  Come to find out that Tita 96762 was not feeling good and was running a fever.  Thanks again Aunty Tita 96762.

Anyway...we finally made it home and my darling King had dinner made and waiting on the stove for us to eat.  Awe.  He is so sweet.  He cooked again!  He cooked before going to his meeting.  But we already ATE!    Thanks Hon!  We will eat it tomorrow.  =)  

Warrior 2 will be going on a field trip with his class and they will be spending the night at the USS MISSOURI.  I hope he packed all that he needs.  I had to pull teeth to make him hurry and pack.  He is our Warrior 2.

The King finally made it home around 9 pm.  Longer day for him than me..so I can't complain.

Aaron loves your boys! He didn't want to leave yesterday! Especially since Reef was letting him play the DS! I had to carry him out of there mad but then he said bye to the boys and he was ok. I can't believe they weren't going to let you in when you had a card and everything saying you had an appointment! psh! How's the pancit and stuff at Golden Coin?
