Last night I went out to dinner with S.I.F. and a few other friends for her birthday. Two of the other girls were also pregnant, one a week ahead of me, one a month behind. I definitely felt like the only one there who was sucking at pregnancy. No one else’s feet looked like mine (reference the picture below if you dare.) This morning S.I.F. posted a picture of us on FB and I looked about how I feel, like a total cow.
We also had a screen at work today for our cholesterol and BMI. The results don’t count, but if you do the screen they give you free money toward your insurance. I knew my numbers would look bad but the free money was worth it. As a measure of my health they took my height, weight and a measurement of my midsection at the belly button… Then my cholesterol results came back, 100 points higher than they normally are.

Needless to say between my feet, the picture and my cholesterol I was not having a great day.
Blue came to pick me up for my doctor’s appointment and I started crying and couldn’t stop. I literally cried big crocodile tears the whole way there, and was still sobbing waiting for the doc to come in…
I was bottoms off on the table and Blue was in the visitor chair as always. Then he got up and sat in the doc’s roller stool. I figured it was so he could talk to my crying face…
…Then he put on a rubber glove.
By this point I was laughing.
Then he reached back and said “here, let me use the warm gel.”
At this point I was still crying but now the tears were from hysterical laughter. Just as he squirted a glob of goo on his blue glove the OB and her intern walked in.
She thought it was so funny that she had to go get her iphone to take a picture.
And this is how Blue ended my 45 minute long cry fest.
