It is now 7 days until we are scheduled to leave for Toronto. 7 short short days. Jon and I are wishing for more time, as the past few weeks have flown by incredibly quickly. All the major things on our to do list are done - the bags are packed, we have applied for EI, the letter of consent to travel for Georgia has been notarized, and so on. But we are not ready - not really. Is it possible to ever be ready for this journey? Mentally, I don't think so. Tomorrow we are going to be visiting the paediatric cardiologist's clinic where Jacob and I will be spending a lot of time when he gets home.
And in other news, we now have a birth plan - of sorts. If all holds stable between now and 38 weeks, I will be induced on April 2nd. That is Easter Tuesday - the cardiologist called the baby "Jacob the Easter Bunny" when she gave us this news. By that time he should be a good enough size to be a safe candidate for his surgery. It's a little thing, as I know full well how easily plans can fall through, but it is giving Jon and I some relief to have a "plan" in place despite all the uncertainty. Here's to the last 7 days at home...I am really going to miss this place and all the people/animals in it!
