Would you like a sample?

My first Dr.’s appointment to check up on/confirm the arrival of the crib midget was May 27. I changed physician practices to go to one closer to home (thinking ahead to the labor part of this arrangement, I don't want Greg to be driving me down to Peachtree Dunwoody in Atlanta’s rush hour traffic while I'm having contractions....a home water birth without an epidural would be more pleasant than that). The usual gyno exam ensued with a few new “twists” involving a urine sample (are you seeing a theme here?) and giving vials and vials of blood samples. The lab will use my blood to test for all kinds of scary stuff - cystic fibrosis, HIV, and other birth defects in the fetus. I tried to see if I could get an extra vial for Greg to wear around his neck Angelina/Billy Bob Thornton style, but my veins were tapped out. That’s cool. I really don’t like man jewelry anyway.
