 I guess it's a good thing we came to Pritz mom's house overnight Cuz they were right the storm came in and apparently this is just the beginning This is mid-April in Manitoba, Canada. I want to say this isn't normal, but what what is normal? Well? What is normal? Oh? So we came in last night before any of this started I'm just gonna go or I'm just going to get the car warmed up. I got the big guys with us We got all the dogs Pritz mom's house We got to go to the ultrasound appointment The big guys are gonna come with us There's quite a bit to handle when we're not around they get a little bit anxious Plus with a snowstorm Grandma's house. They just get all excited and last time diesel ripped the curtains down Ray diesel He's back there Okay, let's go pick up Brett. I just got to bring the vehicle up to the door I've got an ultrasound The good thing this train is a tank It'll go through anything Mother nature couldn't stop us. It's actually not as bad as I thought it would be yet Blowing over the hood Winnipeg's always windy Yeah, it was just another day in Winnipeg. That's why it couldn't understand why everyone was freaking out over this blizzard Now people were panicking they were panicking buying the supermarkets were like stripped bear Yeah, I went in the other day just for a couple top-ups couple things on my list. No big deal. I'm walking to a Superstore and I see like three huge long lines like I don't know a quarter mile long each It was ridiculous and everybody's cart is like just heaping and I was like, huh? I'm in line. I'm like, oh Oh Right, it's gonna snow so everyone's panicking even though that's what Manitoba does it snows Yeah, it's mountain and it's gonna be gone in three days Yeah, so most people should have three at least three days worth of food already in their house Why do you need to stock up like we're gonna be like locked down for another COVID lockdown? That's exactly what it seemed like when I was in there. I thought we were going into lockdown for a second Yeah, it was crazy, but yeah, it's Manitoba just another day There go the sirens that's how you know, you're in Winnipeg All right, I got to get up there. All right another ultrasound. Good luck today. I am triggered So that I'm triggered Not that kind of trigger not that kind of trigger. I'm not that kind of girl Yeah, hopefully Friday can be the surgery, but I guess we'll see might have stay at mom's another night or two Getting close though Have fun Crazy weather though. Hey, it just doesn't really scare me that much like it scared everybody else I really don't know why people were they were they were panicking. It really looked like we were going into another lockdown Three days of snow people three days You'll be fine If you don't have three days worth of food in your house at all times You should probably reevaluate how your grocery shopping I In my opinion in my opinion you should have at least a month's worth of food You should have a big freezer somewhere and have some frozen food in there Just be ready for a month because three days. I mean not maybe because We live out in the country. Well, we live in a small town now But I'm from the countryside and a storm like this guaranteed There's gonna be power outages outside the city guaranteed all the snow is very wet and sticky and it's gonna stick on the power lines and cause power outages So you gotta be ready for that as a country person and the grocery store is also a long ways away when you live in the country It's a it's a full afternoon event to go grocery shopping So you always have enough food in your house just in case, you know If the roads close or if you can't you know if you get snowed in or if the power goes out You got to have a generator and you know, you got to be prepared I I guess people in the city have a different lifestyle that I don't understand And they only have enough food in their house for a day or two and they always have in the back of their minds like Oh, the grocery store will be open tomorrow and it's just down the street. I'll just go get more groceries I guess it's a little bit of a different mindset when everything is so close by and convenient No, oh well to each their own If I could give my opinion, I'd say always have at least two weeks of food At least two weeks of food if you can do more do more But some people they can our house were space restricted. Where are we gonna put a big freezer? Now we got the shop. So we're gonna put a big freezer in there and we'll have some food in there just in case you know You never know This is Manitoba in Mid-April sometimes this happens That doesn't mean we like it But we must accept it That's heavy mid-April Manitoba third winter There will be another fake spring yet Sometimes we even get blizzards in May. So honestly, this is not that big of a surprise We are a little over it though at this point On our way to the pharmacy again Five more shots and then it's go time Everything's gonna happen or the big surgery is gonna happen on Saturday, right? Yep Saturday morning Really getting excited now. Can't believe we're having this much snow mid-April even from Manitoba this is This is nuts We'll probably be staying in the city again tonight. I don't think we'll be driving home in this and possibly tomorrow night I doubt there's anything going on at work today and tomorrow is probably gonna be the same thing We'll probably be shut down the rest of the week Yeah, highways are closed We have like not even a quarter mile of visibility here, and this is in the city Yeah, can't imagine how bad it would be up on the highway Yeah, better safe than sorry We've invested too much time too many emotions and way too much money into this to miss it Well, we have a follow-up After but we'll get into that later. We got a very detailed sheet But tonight I take my trigger shot Then it's go time until then we play the game. Are we in the lane? I don't know Who's to say? I don't know you guys think I'm in a way. I think I'm in a lane I mean there's some parked cars there. There's a van traveling there. It's anyone's guess really. There's a guy parked over here I don't know if he's I mean, I'm on the road. He looks like he's up against the curve. So I think Probably the right distance. I'm thinking this is probably the right lane Even the professional drivers have in trouble here. So you know it's bad Well, this terrain is like a tank. It'll go through the snow no problem. I just worry about everyone else on the road I'm just gonna go ahead and point out though that we have no venomous spiders or snakes Or giant crabs that want to break your arm in half So I mean or kangaroos that want to punch you in the throat and we have no earthquakes not very many tornadoes We have a few tornadoes no hurricanes Natural disasters no tsunamis We just got this and I'll I'll take this over like shark attacks and tidal waves Earthquakes I run on hot anyway, so I prefer the cold maybe not this Snowy and blowy though not a big fan of wind and ice. That's crazy. It's still just the beginning It's supposed to go on all day and all day tomorrow and the next day Yep, so it will be the biggest. They said it's gonna be the biggest one in decades. I guess they're right Thank goodness for my mother and the fact that she still lives in my childhood home in Winnipeg Thank you, mom. Otherwise, we would have been tough to get into they and thank you for loving our boys diesel He's just having a blast Chevy hates it We're here for our drugs My wipers are all full of snow on second here. We're gonna fix this given the old Canadian wackaroo Go with that method today. Let's just wait here boys. Okay, just wait. This is insane You know, I was hoping the weather people would be wrong You were right We're not supposed to be doing this stuff in April, you know Cut to his mother hand Go show it who's boss every now and then, you know, just in case they forget. I can't see down the street Look at that truck disappear into the snow over there Yeah Just down the street Right. Hey Chevy. Oh Sounded like Scooby-Doo there, bud He's a friend My mom-in-law let us stay here through the storm so we can make it to our appointment And it looks like we have a family of eight Or eighteen eighteen. We just got dogs. We don't even have kids yet Okay, he's trying to get into the room we slept in separate beds I slept in there and And Brett slept in that room there. She's just getting ready. You don't tell where she is because you just find weiner Yeah, so there's a small break in the storm right now It's supposed to be raging on for the next couple of days and that's what it looks like out there right now But it has cleared up quite a bit a little bit windy But the snow has stopped so we're gonna quickly run home before it starts up again tonight and all day tomorrow It's supposed to storm But yeah, all that snow was not there this morning or yesterday. Sorry It was all grass. It's crazy how much snow got dumped Thanks for letting us hang out here though With our whole zoo Back at home here, you can see the snow that fell is very wet and heavy And mostly melting Right away, but the whole backyard is A winter wonderland again. This was all mostly water in the center here already You can see here melting through Wow, their whole yard is like water Part of ours and where I'm walking here is pretty squishy All of this. Look at that It's just a low spot and the ground is still frozen So I still can't get into the ground If I give it a few weeks and the ground will fall And all this will disappear in a day or two Just go straight down Makes its way into the aquifers I'm sure And then it gets into our uh Drinking water eventually. I don't know how that works. I'm not a scientist But I am tired. I know that I didn't sleep the best At their house overnight The mattress house. Well, it just wasn't my mattress. It wasn't home. It wasn't my bed. I'm a home body. I like to be at home So I didn't sleep the best. I feel like I was like I pulled an all-nighter. I've been struggling to keep my eyes open all day It's nice that we were able to get home Uh during the break of the storm you can see that the snow started falling again I don't know if the camera's even picking it up It's just starting again according to uh environment canada There was going to be a bit of a break during the day today and then around suppertime today It's going to start snowing and then intensifying overnight So we're going to get another blizzard overnight And then it'll all melt in a week. I'm sure or less And by the time we have our next appointment in the city, uh, the next appointment is the egg retrieval And that's my big day too. That's when I've got to bring in uh do my part and bring in my contribution And uh, so Saturday is my big day I might have to do my hair. I don't know put on some cologne. Oh wait. No, they specifically said no fragrances in their office I don't know why there must be a medical reason for that, but I can't wear cologne. No I can shower clean myself up a little bit And then you know after that It's just a waiting game because they retrieved the eggs out of her today. They saw 11 So hopefully they can get all 11. Maybe there's some more hiding in there as well And then they'll fertilize them and in a few days Within a week less than a week. We'll know how many uh took and how many lasted and they'll be frozen And we'll be ready for uh mid to late may for the transfer I'm still awake Barely day three thousand six hundred ninety three It's been 84 years We're just practicing for when we actually have the kid You know, we're never gonna get sleep again.
