Friday The 13th

Frank & I went to an OBGYN appointment this morning. It was to a specialist since I'm over 35 years old. They did an ultrasound to check on the baby. They said everything looks good & that the baby is measuring correctly. They also talked to us about genetic testing for Down Syndrome & other chromosomal abnormalities. They can also do a test to see if I'm a carrier for cystic fibrosis & some other things. I didn't have any of that done w/ Autumn b/c back then they had to take amniotic fluid, and I wasn't about to let them stick a needle into my belly & into the placenta! But, now it's all done w/ blood tests.

After that, I dropped Frank off at home and we both went to work. He & Grant picked Spencer up right after school so they could head up to Oklahoma. Even though I got in late today, my boss told me to leave at 2:30 if I was all caught up b/c he was out of town. SWEET!!! I went to Costco & got all the groceries we'll need for our fun weekend in Oklahoma.

Then I went & got Autumn from school, took her to cheer practice, and went & got some Little Caesar's pizzas, took them to a family in the ward that needs some cheering up. I also gave them our 4 tickets to the football game tonight. That way they could get out of the house & have something fun to distract them from their hardships.

I went & got Autumn from cheer practice & we just vegged out at home the rest of the night. She loves it when it's just the 2 of us, b/c she says, "it's like old times again." She's never had to share my attention w/ anyone before, so she likes it when she has me all to herself.

Frank installed our washer at Marissa's house, b/c she didn't have one. We also gifted her some baby wipes & detergent since we weren't able to go to her baby shower last weekend. She is so happy to be able to do her own laundry at home now. YAY!!!
