So I had to go and be a human pin cushion today at my Doctor's request. It is that time of the pregnancy....time for the 1 hour glucose test. I'm actually a little late getting it done because of the switch of our insurance to military, so because I am officially covered as of today it was the resposible thing to do to get it taken care of right away. Nevermind the fact that a little over 50% of the time I pass out when I get my blood drawn, I had to do what was best for our baby. (I think his name should be Chase by the way, and Matt agrees). Then right after going four hours without food, drinking the nasty sugar drink, getting my blood drawn and NOT passing out (yay me) I had to go upstairs from the lab to my Dr's office and get my rogham shot because of my negative blood type. So all in all, the day up to that point had been pretty devastating. Becca was with me for it all in case I passed out and needed to be driven home. So we decided to turn the day around and first went to Carls Jr and I had their Philly Cheese Steak sandwich.... I can't even describe the philly goodness of that sandwich. Then, we went and picked up Lara and met up with Mary at Southcoast and did a little maternity/baby shopping. It was as if with each purchase, the hurt from the shot in my butt got a little more tolerable. Amazing. Finished off the day with some yummy apetizers at claim jumper with my sisters, picked up Hallie from Nana's house (had to drag her out the door because she loves Nana's house), came home and watched a little monsters inc, put crazy 20 month old to bed, watched American Idol on Tivo (the only way to watch TV these days), talked to my hubby who I'm missing like CRAZY and now here I am. So what could have potetially been a really crappy day turned into a really great one through the magic of retail and eating out. Here's a random pic of Hallie from last week so as not to make this post visually unstimulating.

I am thoroughly jealous of your crappy/wonderful day.
Specifically the Claim Jumper appetizer part (oh how I miss them!) and the Lara part. :) I'm glad you had a good time!
BTW I only have about 3 weeks left.
This is Joey. Tell Matt I miss him and have some news for him when he gets back.
you are funny. i opted not to get the glucose test this time because the whole process is so nasty, last time i threw up the syrup and had to do it over. anyways i feel your pain. and oh how shopping can heal just about anything. yesterday i was in urban outfitters and they had a TON of really cute maternity type looking fitting shirts on sale for 4.99! AMAZING. they fit fat people like me and everything. i was beyond excited and got 4. (they were regularly 38.00!) how cool is that, you should check it out if in need of any prego wear. anyways im going to call you next week and maybe we can all 4 girlies get together.
