Logistics!

The big day is coming up pretty fast. Today it hit me that it is the day after tomorrow and I need to make sure all my ducks are in a row. I called the lab to find out when I need to show up and they said it will be pretty early, as early as 6am. It suddenly dawned on me that DD’s childcare doesn’t open that early!

We talked back and forth and it looks like I will have to come in at 7am with the transfer being at 7:45. DD’s childcare opens at 7am too. Hmm…
DH and I started thinking about options on how to handle the logistics.
They told me I could go there with DD if necessary and some couples do that. But that would mean DH will have to watch her the entire time and not even go into the room for the transfer. Really not our preferrence.
Our current thought is that I’m gonna drive up there myself early and then DH will drop DD off and haul butt to get to the lab as soon as he can after that. Its about a 25 minute drive, so hopefully it will be OK. Afterwards we’ll have to leave the car and come get it another day. Why is it so complicated.

I was trying to think about everything else we need to get done before the day. We’ll have to wake up pretty early and I don’t want to be rushing around last minute. We need to have everything ready to go, paperwork filled out and on and on. After all, I don’t want my dream coming true (haha). The crazy wacky dream that is, where I was way late for the transfer.

I’m sure we’ll make it on time somehow. It just requires a little work right now to get everything organized. That’s the thing about these “big days”… one really has to prepare ahead of time for them and make plans A, B and C.

One day to go…..
