I went to the doctor yesterday. This was for a three hour class about nutrition and other various things. Then I had a TB test done. Finally I went to the lab for some blood work. Oh, the poor poor soul who was assigned to me. This very nice Navy man called me back into the room. He could tell I was very nervous as I always am when I have to do this sort of thing. One vile in things go wrong and he has to switch arms. Half way through that vile, boom, I pass out. The poor guys felt so bad. He kept rushing me ice and water. After I came to they reassigned me to a more experienced nurse who then knocked out the next 6 viles very quickly. I've nver been one for giving blood. This happens every time which is why I haven't made a habit of it. Can't wait until the next time. That should be great fun to watch a giant pregnant lady slump over in a pool of her own sweat! Gross I know, but what fun would it be if I had to keep this from all of you!
Well, I'm not sure when my next appointment will be. My "primary care manager" doesn't have any openings for a while. I'll keep you posted though. Hopefully the next time won't be quite as graphic. Ok, I'm off to finish my meal of saltines and water! How long does this last anyway?

Yep - get used to it :) The doc appts are never fun in the very beginning or at the end. The middle ones are short and sweet! I'm glad they finally got you in for the appointment.
Better luck next time Mel and remember, this is all Joe's fault. He is such a jerk.
Oh poor Mel! I feel for you. It will get better, I promise! Ask for Zofran for your nausea because this can last all through the first trimester. OHHH did they give you a due date yet???
Taryn didn't need her wheel after all. She was right on target without it! November 30 is the date. The nurse said I shouldn't expect any more needles until around the 7 month mark. I guess not, man they took 8 or 9 viles of blood last time! Things were good today. Just tired. Nice time for a three day weekend! Good luck with the house Carey! That is so exciting!
haha, I guess I am getting pretty good at figuring due dates!
Mel, I'm sooooo sorry you passed out from the needle and have to dine on saltines----byt I'm so excited for Nov. 30! That's a great due date. Yomomma
