S.P.O.T.T.O. & Tattoos...

On the evenings of Wednesday, June 7 & 14, 2006 there were meetings held at St. Paul's United Church in Sutherland by S.P.O.T.T.O. They were mainly information meetings to hear first hand from women who have "Been there, done that" experience with multiples births. I attended with Jess on the 7th but on the 14th I had a "horseback riding lesson" so Lesley attended with her. At the meeting on the 14th they discussed how there is a higher incidence of divorce in marriages with "multiples" be it twins, triplets or larger. Jess informed the attendees that she didn't have to worry about that because "mom can't divorce me" (since I am her coach I guess).

Then on Monday June 12th Jess had an appointment with Dr. Campbell (head of anesthesiology at RUH) to make sure that she will be able to have the needle for her epidural even though she has a tattoo on her lower back. Seems it will not be a problem. When someone is delivering twins or higher, they are automatically scheduled to deliver their babies in the O.R. in case there needs to be an emergency "C" section, and they are given an epidural for the same reason, or so we have heard.

When Jess was talking to Hadi, he told her that he got two tattoos of "Maple Leafs" just like on the flag of Canada since his daughters are Canadian. (Twin Maple Leafs for Twin Girls).
