Winter Storm Juno

[preppy]

Due to the impending "historic" storm coming Tuesday I switched my flight to Tampa from Tues morning to tomorrow. I feel like I got back from SF yesterday. I am reallyyyyyy hoping I can get back Wednesday on my return flight because I fly back out Friday for Virginia and I would like to spend a few nights in my own bed this week.

Travel safe! How are you feeling?

A friend of mine's wife (actually, my college BF, but we're on good terms) was due the day before me, and they're right in the path of the storm... and she's not yet had the baby. I'd be freaking out!

I'm due tomorrow and live in Western CT. They're saying we might get 30 inches!

I'm being induced Wednesday if nothing happens by then, but we got a hotel room 2 miles from the hospital for tomorrow night, just in case. (Our house is about a 40 minute drive, so I didn't feel comfortable risking that.)

I'm freaking out a little bit. Trying to remember that I'm as in control of this situation as I can be, but that doesn't really help

This is what I'd do, the hotel will be a nice mini-vacation and a load off your mind.

katie80 - GREAT plan. I was thinking about all the pregnant women out there today when I was watching TWC. I'd be freaking out too.

Good luck to you guys!

I think the hotel was a very smart plan! I hope your baby stays put until the induction!

I feel okay. I am just tired and waking up for the early flights makes me nauseous. I am on the plane now so I made it out. Silver lining is I get to be in Tampa while home gets 3ft of snow:)

We are from NYC but live elsewhere now. My poor mom went to work with 3 days of clothes today. She's a lead administrator at a hospital and right now she's just hoping she'll get home by Wednesday night. I feel so bad for her, and for my step dad who's stuck home alone the whole time.

I so miss a good snow storm. Occasionally we get ice here, but no real snow. The first year we lived here we got 3in the day after Christmas and our neighbors were all outside marveling at "the most snow they'd ever seen".

[miamigirl]

Safte travels!

No snow down here...

Stay safe ladies! I'm in South-Western Ontario and we're supposed to get about 10-15 cm.

My return flight on Weds afternoon was just cancelled:( They booked me to return on Friday but I was supposed to go to Virginia to see a friend Friday. I could try and change to fly right to Virginia but then I won't have really any clean clothes. Ugh. This is annoying me.

I'm in CT too, it looks like we are in for a wild ride, but hopefully we don't go without power for 11 days again like in 2011. 

Good luck, hope it's an uneventful couple of days for you. 

I lived in CT during that storm in 2011. It was awful!!! I hope the tenants at our house in Avon don't lose power for too long. I reallyyyy don't want to have frozen pipe issues:(

You lived in the town next to me! 

Do you ever come down to the area?

We are there all the time! We still own the house and have people renting it. It's our we can't get rid of it anti-income property! My inlaws live in the area as well so we are down there a lot. 2011 was the worst. I hope power stays on cause I can't imagine it pregnant!

[brandienee]

Stay safe ladies! I hope no one has to go to the hospital in this.

I have my first OB appointment tomorrow morning. I am not really sure if they will keep it because of the weather.

I am sad that I feel so terrible. I usually love snow. We are supposed to get 20+ inches here. I could be knitting. Thanks kid.

[preppy]

AutumnRose25 I really hope your power stays on! I think I still have post traumatic stress from 2011. I will let you know next time I am in CT, we might be coming in the next few weeks to tell the In-Laws about the fetus:)

[katie80]

I'm really afraid of losing power for 11 days. We actually didn't lose it in 2011, but I remember that very well (and we live farther out in the country now, so it's much more likely this time! Hopefully CL&P has their act together)

So, my doctor got nervous this morning and has gone ahead and put me in the hospital. The plan is still to induce tomorrow night, but I'm glad to be here and not worried about traveling (although I am already really bored)

Hopefully CL&P learned their lesson!! I think its prob good that you are in the hospital. You don't have to worry about having a baby in a snowbank now:) Good luck tomorrow!!

Good luck!
