So I'm not sure what it's like out there today. But for the past few days there has been almost no gasoline in the city of Charlotte. When people find a gas station that has gas they freak out and everyone jumps in a ridiculous line to fill up their tanks no matter how empty they are. My dad was running on fumes yesterday and sat in a line for an hour and a half. The guy ahead of him got like 2 gallons....this man should never have been in line because he actually had gas in his car! People will try to fill up gas cans as well their cars. It's crazy. People are running out of gas because they literally cannot find a station that has gas or they run out of gas while waiting in line to get gas!
Most of Chad's office worked from home yesterday because they couldn't risk driving to work and running out of gas. Chad has to go into work today he has equipment that needs shipped and he's the only one that can do it. But we also have an appointment with a pediatrician today. So we will probably use most of the gas in our car today. Hopefully, the gas stations are being filled as we speak!
I had a dream last night that I went into labor and we didn't have enough gas to make it to the hospital! Yikes...I'm glad it was a dream and hopefully I won't go into labor until there is enough gas to get to the hospital!

Where's the gas?

That is stinking crazy? Dad & I went through that in the 70's. We're not having anything happen in that realm right now. Prices have even dropped. It's a crazy world!
Praying for (the right kind of) gas at those critical times. Wishing you dreams of a manageable labor (and "YEAH" for no 9 lb. babies!)
Love ya,
Mom B
That is crazy. We are not having that problem at all in GA where we live.
There is always the ambulances if you go into labor- I'm sure they have some back up reserves!
