Well I arrived safe in Anchorage on Tuesday. The flight was interesting and turned out to be extremely long and tiring. Emilee did great, I didn't do so well, lol. In Petersburg they realized something was not quite right with the plane so they had to fly a mechanic in from Juneau on a float plane to fix our plane. SOOOO 5 1/2 hours later we were on our way making a 5 1/2 hour plane trip into an 11 hour trip. It would not have been so bad had it not been for the fact that I am in my 8th month of pregnancy and dealing with edema. By the time we took off from Petersburg I was in tears from how swollen my legs and feet were. Because of the size of the Petersburg terminal and how many ppl were waiting in there to board the plane they would not let us off the plane. I tried walking up and down the aisle but that didn't help much and my ankles were so swollen I had to walk on my toes cuz I could not bend them. And since the plane was pretty full I could not just turn in my seat and put them up. :( My seat mate was really sweet and was very helpful. Emilee did awesome sitting in her car seat for so long, she only had about 3 breakdowns and those were over pretty quickly, she only slept a total of maybe 30 minutes the whole time on plane.
We are now in Wasilla with my mom and will have my first appointment on Monday. Found out I have to pay the Co-Pay up front which they told me is going to be between 100 and 200 dollars. I freaked about that but it will work out. Next week we are going to go to the Alaska State Fair and that should be alot of fun. I would like to take Emilee to the Zoo while we are here as well but we will see how that turns out. Emilee is having an overnight sleepover at her cousins on Monday as well. (scary for me)
I will update again after my appointment on Monday.
