A Magic Trick

Indeed ... it was a Magic trick to deliver 4 beautiful babies about four days earlier than I thought Magic would! ;)  
There I was, thinking I had time to go to a doctor's appointment, run various errands, take care of a few things that needed taking care of (like setting up the whelping area for the babies' arrival!), behaving with a sense of leisure when scheduling these things that only a person who thought there was time would do. 
Well, you should have seen this person "with a sense of leisure" spring into (frantic) action on the morning of Thursday, November 18th when she realized babies were a-coming and nothing was set up for them! Luckily, I work well under pressure because the babies began making their arrival by 8:23 am. 
Whew! that was a close one ...
