We're Off!

After an agonizing 90 minute wait at the dr office today, we were cleared to fly! We were pretty depressed because the ultrasound tech basically told us they wouldn't fly if the placenta wasn't a full 3cm from the cervix. When we met with the dr (not our normal midwife) he said it was no problem at all. Not sure why there seemed to be such a difference between the doc and the tech, but we'll take the docs advice any day!

It was fun to come home and tell Layla that we are moving back to Oman! She has been able to locate it on a map for ages and knew that we were headed that direction (she'd ask "can I take this to Oman?") back in November/December but it sort of got dropped.

Yesterday I was telling Layla that her Aunt Jen was coming out on Friday. I said that she's had lots of people come out to see her and she said essentially " yeah,Nana and Grandaddy and Tutu Lisa, they all love me. They give me milk and rock me and read to me and play with me..." It was so very sweet.

Tom leaves tomorrow for Phoenix and he has a pretty bad headcold. We are hoping he'll feel okay while down there because he has lots of meetings with folks.

Anyway - do pray that his voice and energy will hold up!

Yay! Glad to hear you are going! I am sad that Layla will be so far away. But there is always the internet and visits. Jen is packing and getting ready to visit. Hope to see you next in Oman!
