Week 6 scan

Yesterday was the Week 6 scan. All things considered (including a 4-hour wait and Brooke now being neutropolic*), the scan went very well. Was over within a half hour and home shortly after. Brooke was starving when we got home, so quickly downed two bowls of Grandmaman's Lac St-Jean blueberries and a fistful of Timbits. Back to normal after that.

Now, we must wait for the results. We were told that we should have them by Friday. The waiting is killing me, but luckily we have plenty to keep us busy this week. Avery is to be baptized on Sunday, so we are having a small family party back at the house should B be up for it, so plenty of preparing to do.

Luckily--or perhaps unluckily if my mind keeps wandering to the results and I need something to occupy it!--Hubby's mother and tante were here watching Avie yesterday and not only cooked us dinner and made us six bumbleberry pies (some for the party, some for the freezer) but washed all of our floors! This is in addition to the complete house cleaning they undertook a week prior. Thank you, Monique! Thank you, JD! Much appreciated.

Still, there are some areas to declutter before the shindig, outfits to put together, camera cards to download and free up, food to prep. I love throwing parties, so hopefully, Avie's special day will distract me enough this week.

I will also try to distract myself from the waiting by finally replying to e-mails and returning phone calls that have been accumulating over here in Jolimondland. If I owe you an e-mail or a phone call, I sincerely apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Do know that I have not forgotten you! I think about it everyday!

In other weekend-farmer news, we ate another meal yesterday that was entirely homegrown. We are quite proud of ourselves!

Stay tuned for scan results later this week. I'll post up as soon as I have heard....

* Neutropolic: Her neutro-polys level is now below the normal range, which means she is at a higher risk of viral infection (e.i.: she is much more susceptible to catching other people's colds, flus, pneumonia, etc.). With that in mind, we must now be much more diligent in ensuring only healthy people come to visit the house and must avoid places where she can pick up any viruses. I have now become a Purell mother. Good times.
