Post Storm Entertainment

We survived the giant snowstorm yesterday
without having a baby crisis.

My anxiety level was at a max
as I kept glancing between my giant pregnant belly
and the raging storm outside!

It would have been a serious problem
if we had needed to get me to the hospital
any time before 8pm last night.

Mark managed to get to work in the morning
only to be told by his Corporal to go home
just in case I went into labour and needed to get to the hospital.

Mark said it was probably the worst winter conditions 
he has ever driven in
and he got stuck on our street THREE times. 
(This he didn't tell me until after the storm had passed!)

The storm went on all day long,
as did my anxiety,
but at least I had Mark home to help distract me (and Piper)!

By early evening,
the weather calmed down a little,
but our street still hadn't been plowed. 
It wasn't until after 8pm that we finally heard that glorious sound of the plow
along with the lovely glow of it's flashing light.

SUCH a relief!

Once that wonderful wonderful plow went down the road,
I was ready to have this baby!!!
Who, of course, decided not to come anyway. 

So, I guess the silver lining to the storm
was that I got to have my husband home for an extra day
AND
Piper and Blue got to watch the giant snowblower 
widen out our road this morning!

Piper and Blue loving watching the tractor hard at work!
Mommy is loving watching these two together still in their pajamas!
