Promise Kept

Here are those pictures I promised of me looking like a barge. Patrick stuffed a soccer ball up his shirt at my request so I wouldn't feel alone in my hugeness. It is akward getting pictures with both of us together since it requires setting the timer on the camera. The next camera we get should come with a remote control. Not just the press a button and click there is your picture kind of remote eigther. I want it to aim, focus, adjust to lighting conditions and then click. The remote should also have a display screen so I know if my teal bra strap is showing and if I am smiling pretty or smiling like an idiot. Patrick did not mention that my strap was showing and it is too dark to re-take the pictures. Ah well, they demonstrate my enormity.
Baby and I had a frustrating day today. We had to go to the hospital for a Rhogam shot and it took forever. Rhogam is a medcine routinely given to expectant mothers who have RH negative blood so that we don't develope antibodies against babies with positive blood types. Well, before they give you the shot they test your blood to see what your current antibodies are. I had gone for the blood work on Friday but the results were not in yet at my appointment time this morning. That meant that I had to get my blood taken again so they could run the test at the hospital which would be faster then having the lab send their results in. I don't mind needles, just needless needles. I guess I didn't hold the gause to my arm long enough today since after the lab tech sent me back to the waiting room I looked down to see blood running down my arm. Not a good thing. She got me re-bandaged with an extra piece of gauze and off I went again.
To the waiting room. To wait. Some more. Eventually they called me in for my shot and after a quick check of my temperature and blood presure it was drop my drawers and get poked in the bum. It is still tender thank you very much! All in all what I had expected to take fifteen minutes took almost two hours. Oh what a day. Dinner was yummy though.
