QT for the Girls...& Riley

Brad hopped a plane this morning for a long weekend in "Syracuse" NY. He is a groomsmen in Dan Hicks Wedding. He was looking forward to some male bonding time, along with golf and a whole lot of bourbon. Olivia and I have a very exciting girls weekend planned. We have a date on Friday Night with each other, plan to catch a good Nursery Rhyme show, and then hit the hay early. Saturday will be another Little Gym trip and then on Sunday we have a play date scheduled with April and Anna Tillar. I am hoping we will be able to squeeze in some time at the Children's Museum as well, Liv will love it.

I had a Dr.'s Appointment yesterday, so far so good. Baby Hippo has a strong little heartbeat and is kicking around in there. No weight gain and BP is great. My Dr. is always hilarious at the end of the day, she is always telling me some random story about some crazy patient. Yesterday it was a crazy patient wanted to have a home birth, I couldn't stop laughing at Dr. Davis, she was going off, furious and irate with this woman. She said she quietly asked "Do you wear a seat belt?", the crazy patient said "Yes", and Dr. Davis asked her "Why?", and crazy patient responded "Just in case"...and Dr. Davis just said "I see....." and if you could have only seen her facial expressions, hilarious. The appointment before she was going off about one of her non-pregnant patients bringing her boyfriend in for her "Annual Exam"...he told Dr. Davis he wanted to see what was going on "down there", Dr. Davis told him he was free to check it out at home in his free time, but that an Annual Exam was not "show and tell time". She cracks me up.

Brad's Grandma Turner is holding her own, stable for now. Last weekend we took a quick unexpected trip down to Bassett after we got a disturbing update Saturday morning. She had been rushed to the ER after having trouble breathing at the Nursing Home. We figured that Olivia would help in cheering Dad T up and would bring some joy to the house. Dad T has had a rough few weeks, so we knew he needed some lovin. Grandma T is still in CCU and will likely be there for a while longer, but it looks like the fluid in her lungs is clearly up a little bit. Please send her your thoughts and prayers.

Now on to exciting news....Dad T will be retiring next week. We are all looking forward to the freedom retirement will give him and hope that means we will get to spend more time with him. Now its just Mom T that needs to make the leap...hopefully in the New Year...
