Chicago - pre op appt, part one.

Well, after waiting at the airport for over 2 hours for our flight, which had been delayed in Colorado, we finally got on an hour and a half flight to Chicago. Sera was a happy camper and was very excited the whole way. She could not wait to put down her tray to watch her new Barbie movie. Once we got to Chicago, however, she decided that she wanted to be at home and was asking over and over again if we were going home now. She wanted to see Aubri and Andy and was done with the airplanes. She would settle down when I told her that we were just seeing the doctor in the morning and would fly home again right after seeing him. This would be OK for about 5 minutes and then she would ask again. Our taxi driver asked who Aubri and Andy were that she had to get home to them. It was sweet.

We are at the Write Inn in Oak Park. It is a nice place to stay. We were here the last time and once again when I requested just a queen size bed, the cheapest room, we were upgraded to a family suite. I think it must be because we are a Shriner's family. Who knows! It is a nice room with a kitchenette and a sitting area and 2 queen size beds. Some day it would be a nice place to stay with all the kids and just go exploring, but... I don't know when time will ever allow for that, or the funds to just come here to play would appear from :-) So for now, we are just enjoying it for what it is. We ordered delivery pizza last night when we came in from a nearby Itailian place. Oooh, it was WONDERFUL!!! We still have some in the fridge for breakfast! Artichoke, spinach, chicken and all kinds of gooey cheese... Good stuff!

Sera will be up in a few minutes, since I am going to wake her :-) She was so tired from the traveling yesterday and all the excitement. I hope traveling home today goes as smoothly though. I can forsee her getting impatient with getting HOME. I am trying to imagine making this trip home with her face so swollen and sore though and I have to admit, that scares me much more! We will just have to wait and see.
