UPS and downs....haha hilarious - I know.

Alright so here's my day so far:

- Wake up - cooked a huge breakfast of bacon, eggs, cheesy-garlic toast (no cheese/garlic for Tim) and a huge glass of milk - breakfast of Champs (or parents-to-be's final meal)

- Go to the doctor at the Gravida (where they do specialty tests/exams that your regular doctor or nurse cannot do) and wait an extra 20 minutes. I go in - get on the table and he says "Any moment - but not now- just go home and wait for the delivery to happen." He records some notes on a voice recorder of some sort (I thought it was a funky looking cell phone or a remote control personally) and then we're out in 10 minutes. Confirmed baby is still kicking and heart beat is still going strong with a quick squirt of gel and ultrasound.

- Come home and decide I need a nap. Slept until about 1:30 and UPS calls me to tell me they will be there between 2 and 4pm to deliver our shipment from Canada. I say great! Time to eat! Made some grilled cheese sandwiches and started a pot of curry chicken soup. Yum. Tim and I also discovered that Loki has stripped an almost brand new box of Chocolatey Domino cookies (chocolate cream filling) and ate the whole thing and kindly left 1 single crumb and the packages all in the living room (as opposed to everywhere throughout the flat).

- 3:18pm - get a call from UPS saying no delivery today because customs has our stuff in their warehouse and will not release it. UPS man has no idea when it will be released but kindly gives me the number to their contact center. I call the UPS contact center and UPS lady speaks fabulous English and gives me the number to some Miko fellow who oversees all the held shipment....Miko fellow speaks great English as well and confirms that yes Customs did have our order as they inspected it. BUT he gave me confirmation that everything has been cleared and given the green light and we should get the packages tomorrow.

Here's hoping I don't pop overnight tonight or during their shipment time tomorrow. But the lovely people of UPS call before they come over well in advance - so that way you can live your life.

And that was the UPS and downs of my day.

Oh and another bonus will be that I get to see my little man, Sulevi today :) Going over to Jessica/Taneli's for supper and heading to the pharmacy shortly to put in an order for my inhaler. Wahoo!
