busy busy

Yesterday we did some shopping, and a whole lot of sleeping! Later on in the day we had a birthday party for my sister in law.  Today we took the girls (Carrie, and Erin) for a walk down town.  We had lunch at a bakery, followed by a look around town.

We've ate, ate, and ate some more. Went to a few more shops, and then the park before heading home.

Just taking it easy until we get acclimatized.

Just about to go to the chippy.  I can't decided between a fish supper or a black pudding supper..

We are currently two hours into our nine hour plane ride.  We just  passed New York, and are starting to cross the Ocean. The plane is chocked full of Scottish people.  In fact I think the hubby is the only American person on the plane. Getting through customs should be a breeze, since I can go in the US line with him.

Icescicles are currently forming on my toes, since I refused to wear socks (sensory issues).

We are due to arrive in Scotland at 7:30am (2:30am EST).  The weather isnt looking too promising , 44 degrees and raining.

By the time you all are reading this, I shall be sound a sleep for the night (Friday night).

I'm a helicopter mom

Last night we attended a birthday party in honor of all children in foster care ages 0-5 yrs old.  It was at a bounce house, lil' man had a total blast!  We sung happy birthday to all the children, and they were each given a gift!

While at the party I discovered  I am a helicopter mom. So what if I follow my kid around, he has impulse control issues.  I am his conscious for the time being.

I followed Lil' man from one bounce house to another.  From the game room, to the toy area, and then back to the bounce house.  He is NEVER out of eye sights.

Who would have thought I would  be a sling wearing, baby snuggling ,over protective Mother! 

#$%@

Update: Dr can't squeeze me into today.  Will get my results when we return!

Yesterday I got a phone call regarding my ultra sound.  I have multiple cysts on both my ovaries. eww  The doctor is going to try and squeeze me in today so we can discuss treatment, before I leave.  If it isn't one thing it's another. 

I guess the explains the back pain, and the pelvic pain.

I am going to be royally pissed off if I can't have babies!
