Continuing with Thursday…

We drove over to Washoe and found a garage to park in.? Of course, it was hell and gone from where we needed to be. :P I’ll give the lobby this, it was nice.? Big ol’ TV to watch, dim lights, comfy chairs.? It wasn’t long before a gal from maternity came down to show us what was what.? It was on the second floor, like St. Marys.? Cept it was the WHOLE second floor and it was huge.? There’s this security guy when you first get off the elevator and you have to show him your photo ID.? No kids under 10 except for siblings.? Then you check in with labor and delivery on the left.? I’ll get in a room and then go to the c-section “room”.? That was just down the hall.? Then there were the post-partum rooms.? And yes, some were doubles.? She said the private rooms were first come, first serve.? But that certain medical situations, such as a c-section, give you priority.? She said even if I were in a double to start with, I’d probably be moved.? So that’s good news. :)? We looked at the nursery.? There were all sorts of babies in there.? Aww!!? K picked up H so he could see.? He seemed pretty transfixed. We also saw where the NICU was.? Hoepfully we won’t have to remember where that is.? We also set H up for a sibling class in February.? That’ll be good for him.

Before we left we got pre-admitted and all that jazz.? There didn’t seem to be any regulations about cellphones or anything and no problem with brining a laptop.? Excellent!? After that, we went over to the FMC.? Dr. Brown called on Wednesday and my glucose was normal but my TSH was extra low.? So she wanted me to come in and get my T4 levels checked.? For *hyper*thyroid.? :lol? Of course.? So we get there and of course, we’ve got to deal with incompetant Dork Lady.? But I was feeling mellow and wanted to try to put her at as much ease as possible.? She even let me lay down.? Which ended up being a good thing. She poked my right arm and then lost the vein. Yikes!? After digging around *cringe* a while, she gave up? on that.? She decidd to go for my left hand (lots of veins there!).? It hurt but I bit down as much as I could.? Finally, it was over.? After all that, we had lunch with K.? I was pretty starved.? And that is pretty much the story of Thursday.? Not much else to tell.

Today had it’s share of bad news.? Another TC on S9.? Ugh.? But the good news is that we got to vote out Jorja. ;)? Yay!? We had lunch with K again, this itme at the Cellar.? We were in the mood for sandwiches.? I was going to check out the new Dollar Tree after but it won’t open until February 3rd.? Nuts!? I knew it couldn’t have gone in that fast. :P

Good news on the home buying front!? We got preapproved through CTX and Full Spectrum!? Yay!? $180,000.? The house we want just went up to $173,000 so we better move fast.? Just gotta see where we’re gonna get the $2000 deposit.? We need to get on that.? And further good news… I don’t have to be on the loan!? Yay!!? So it’s actually starting to look like something we’ll be able to do.? Hooray!

We were discussing options some.? K doesn’t want many but I think there are some we’ll definitely want.? Like a gas stove.? The powder room.? Etc.? We need to go in and talk about this more in depth with Brian, but he’s rather hard to get ahold of.? Speaking of… where’s my new cellphone?? I’m starting to get rather ticked here.? K has to try calling that stupid girl again.? There really is no excuse for this.? Urgh.
