I wake up to this voicemail... "This is Soandso with Dr. XXX's office and we are calling to let you know she will not be in today due to the weather, so you will need to reschedule your appointment".

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I have been a nervous wreck for DAYS and now I don't get my ultrasound because of this stupid freaking hurricane. Who knows when I will be able to get another appointment, her schedule is always so booked. I wish I could get it for Monday, but I don't even know if that's long enough to wait if the storm hits really bad.

I still don't even know what we are doing. (Stupid Dh is still asleep. And yes I am irritional and emotional.) It looks like it is going to slam almost exactly where we are. If we evacuate who knows how far we'll have to drive to find a hotel, plus one that will let us bring our cats. Dh doesn't have today off as far as I know, so everything will have to be done tomorrow the day before the storm hits. Gee, you think anyone else in the H O U S T O N area will be trying to get out as well?

I should have know this was going to suck. Last night was just one error after another, although it was stupid things. First I tried to pick up my progesterone refill only to be told it was at another Walgreens. Then I tried to get a burrito from Taco Bell b/c I was so hungry. They were closed. So I asked Dh to go by the one closer to his work that is open later and he said okay and then he FORGOT! WTH?! So then he tried Burger King to get me something but they were already closed. Then he comes home and says he is sorry and then says "But those burritos probably aren't good for you anyway." Oh I wanted to kill him.

I need some huggles and anti hurricane vibes. Or at least small, non damaging, able-to-ride-it-out hurricane vibes. I know there are people with bigger problems but I am having a little pity party over here because I am a poor, emotional pregnant woman who can't get her ultrasound and is dealing with a stupid hurricane. The one silver lining is that THANK GOD I am not due in September. This month is always a nightmare, hurricane-wise.

I know the feeling hon and I hate hurricanes with a passion.. We were evacuated for a whole week last week for Gustav and my nerves were constantly all over the place.. I am crossing my fingers that it isn't that bad for ya'll!! Oh and if you have to evacuate most hotels are understanding under the circumstances and will let you bring your pets so try not to worry about that!!!

[♥Ashley♥]

Shannon, you have every right to be emotional that sucks!!! Did you call them back yet to see when she would be available next? And the whole hurricane thing sucks too, I cant imagine how that is!!

Thats sucks big donkey balls! I hope you get in soon and nothing hits to hard where your at.

I rescheduled for next Wednesday at 2:00. So now almost a whole week of waiting. And right after I scheduled it, I realized the date is Sept. 17. Which is the same date I found out that Thomas died.

WTH?! Is there like some cosmic joke going on that I am not aware of?! Let's see how much we can make Shannon worry? Seriously. So now thate date has the potential to be redeemed (by seeing a healthy little baby) or the potential to be the shi**est day ever. So now I have more time to worry and also to worry about it being on that same date.

I'm going to call Monday morning and see if they will let me move the appt up but as of right now they didn't know if my Dr was going to see patients on Monday or not.

Still don't know if we are evacuating or not...

[Mod-LadyCoconut]

oh you poor thing! i am so sorry! what a mess!

... can you call hotels in the area you would be driving towards and reserve a room and make sure they will accomodate your cats? That way you aren't just trying to stop somewhere on the way?

I'm sorry... what a crappy situation all around! *hugs*

[greeneyes]

I was in Montgomery for the Gustav evacuation and I can tell you that most of the hotels let the evacuees bring small pets with them. Large dogs or more than three pets were cared for (for free!) by the Montgomery Human Society - so definitely look into that if you cannot find a hotel that will allow them! Hopefully the local Humane Society will be providing the same services.

But hopefully MOST OF ALL, the storm diminishes and doesn't hit y'all too hard. *HUGS*

Hugs

I hope everything turns out okay.

Shannon, I'm emotional and pissed off at alot too right now! I'm so sorry your appt had to be changed and on such a crummy date! I'll be praying for you family as this hurricane makes it way through.

[*krista*]

I'm sorry your appointment got postponed like that! That really blows, especially since it is such an important appointment. I'm wishing you nerves of steel!

[petalfuzz]

I ditto the "nerves of steel" comment! Be strong, Shannon!

[Angelaosaurus-rex]

I'm so sorry your appointment got pushed back. And I will be praying that this hurricane is not a bad one!
