We did it!!!

(That's a Dora reference for the parents among you!!)

We woke Emma up at 6.15am this morning and when she saw us both standing there she laughed - we took it as a good sign!! The drive to the hospital went well, and we both threw up constant prayers!!

At the hospital we registered and then spent about an hour waiting in a sedation room trying to keep Emma in a good mood. A member of the team came in with a model CT scanner which we used to show Emma what was going to happen - thanks to Minnie Mouse who was our "patient"!

Scott took Emma in about 8.45am and she immediately clocked the Dora DVD and was really into it. Apparently she was great until they strapped her arms down!! They also placed blocks either side of her head and a strap across it. She fussed for a while, but Scott held the DVD player as close to her face as he could, and by all reports she was still long enough to get all the pictures they needed!!

Praise the Lord!

We were home by 10am, when I discovered I lost my cellphone somewhere, again. Yes, the second phone in a year - pregnancy hormones are incredibly destructive to brain cells!! We tried to call it but whoever had it just kept hanging up. So I called and cancelled the SIM card and ordered a cheap replacement (i.e. less $ than an insurance deductible!). It should be here by the weekend. In the meantime you'll have to call the house or leave a message with Scott (he'll love that!!).

Denise, the customer service rep was so nice and concurred that, through no fault of my own, due to pregnancy, I had lost the phone, or even it had been stolen!! She also said that my husband should take me to lunch to get over the stress!! (Not happening!!)

But a great morning in all!
