Maybe it will happen....

I had pre-eclampsia blood panels this morning at carlisle hospital.

Jim and I got up and went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, where I am had the Sunrise Sampler. Yep, more food than Jimmy. :) I only have a few of those days left, right! I hope!

I headed to the hospital directly from breakfast.

I owed Carlisle Regional Medical Center exactly .72 cents for my blood panels today, which I am sure was a mix-up. I will await the real bill in the mail very soon!

After going through some paperwork, I headed back to have my blood drawn.

Before I got pregnant, this was a GRAND fear of mine...giving blood. I can count on 1 hand how many times I have ever done it.

Aaahhh, pregnancy sure changes everything. In the last week, I have given exactly 18 vials of blood. Since the beginning of pregnancy, my guess would be I have given 30 vials of blood. I am an old pro at it now.

Not sure how I will do with an IV when I admitted to delivery. I have never had an IV before. This is now my new fear...but it is outweighed by delivery a 9 lb baby! That was the guess at this weeks appt...a 9 lb baby!

Anyway, I headed home after my panels and suddenly thought about all of the old make-up that I have. I seldom buy anything for myself...really...very seldom. So, I headed to Target and bought every make-up essential. I will throw all my old stuff out.

I came home; cleaned, filled the bird feeder, and got ready for my parents visit this weekend.

After sitting down for an hour or so, I decided that I better treat myself to a haircut before the baby arrives and maybe a pedicure.

I hopped in the car and headed to a little salon down the road that I thought would be the perfect place. I walked in, asked if they had any room for a "walk-in". They said yes! Within minutes, Minda, my new stylist, was scissoring and razoring my hair into a wispy new do. She was wonderful at the shampooing...magic fingers.

I decided why not wax the old eyebrows and upper lip. So, she did!

Midway through my haircut, I decided I really did need a pedicure! That was next. I picked a nice plum color and enjoyed the foot rub and bath.

Maybe labor will kick into gear soon. I feel pretty enough for the pictures...I say, "Why Not?"
