Living out loud in the Carolinas

Teeth and Girlie Bits Combo

Today I took care of those two horrible appointments in one day. The Dentist and the OBGYN. Shudder. The good news is that my teeth checked out just fine and my girlie doctor started me on my baby making drugs! I have to go in every 2-3 weeks for bloodwork for the next eternity until I’m pregnant, but that’s a small price to pay. Although the lady that took my blood swore she was going to be gentle, told me to take a deep breath, and then promptly skewered me like a kabob. I’ve never had blood work hurt like that. Sheesh. It was all I could do to keep to myself her grave need for a hot oil treatment on that haystack she called hair. Sorry, erm, pain makes me a little catty I suppose.

Afterwards I went to Target to drop off my prescription and become another victim to their “oh, give me 15 minutes” conspiracy. We all know it doesn’t take them that long to fill your little bottle. They just want you to spend all of your baby savings on electric scissors (on clearance for $4.98!!!) and cute lime green laundry baskets.

So keep your fingers crossed for us as we begin the science project that is Baby Making 2004.

    Good luck with everything. I had to do all that stuff too – the drugs, the bloodwork (my nurse had a hard time drawing blood too)

    Good luck Shannon! I’ll keep you in my thoughts. I like most out there hate bloodwork. The nurses always have a difficult time finding veins and by the time they are done I am Swiss cheese.

    Contratulations! Not to be nosy, but are the drugs the Dr. gave you the ones that people have taken and had multiple births? Hope that doesn’t alarm you if you haven’t thought of it. I think it would have been cool to have a two fer one deal. Get it all done in one swell sweep. Well lookie here, I don’t have to post anonymously.
