I got pregnant game

So I'm so tired of being pregnant and I'm getting sick of my own complaining. This is the last week until my due date which I hope will be the end of discomfort, well at least in one part of my body
Even though I'm ginormous and can't tie my own shoes I'm pretty proud of the fact that a guy on light rail tried to pick me up the other day. It was awesome.
So I get on the train with my huge belly and a present for the baby in tow. I sit next to this guy and he turns to me and says " that is a very interesting hat you are wearing does it have a fun story behind it?" This surprised me because it was a regular old ski hat that we bought like 3 years ago at a ski swap.
"Nope it doesn't, its just one of my ski hats." We then proceed to talk about skiing and snowboarding for a little bit and then, this is the best part, he tells me he thinks he recognizes me from somewhere. My thought is I ride the light rail a lot at specific times so he might have seen me on the train. Nope his answer was much better, "actually I was looking at a book about angels and your picture was on the cover." No lie he actually tried to use that line on me. I was in such shock of the cheesiness of the line and the fact that he hadn't noticed I was pregnant so my only response was to laugh. I think this was the wrong thing to do because it seemed to give him more confidence and he proceeded to tell me, " you know when you meet someone and there is an instant connection? Well I feel that with you would you like to get some coffee or something sometime?"
I proceeded to inform him that I was married but he was not detoured.
"Well if your husband is out of town we could get together or you could have me over and make coffee for me, I bet you make great coffee."
"Yeah?" I said, "we'll have to see." Thankfully at this time his stop came up and as he was getting off the train he tells me, "if you every want to contact me my e-mail is RussianSpy2@email.com."
I just had to laugh to myself, first of all being 9 months pregnant and getting hit on, not too shabby and secondly that there was a RussianSpy email before his. Gotta love public transportation!

Graduation

I can't believe that I finally graduated! Friday Dec 19th was the day and what a day it turned out to be. I woke up expecting nothing too exciting Rich was going to make me breakfast and then we were going to lunch with my parents. Well around 9 there was a knock on our door. Turns out Rich's, dad, brother, sister and brother in law all came out for the big day. It was so awesome.
The day couldn't have been any better than it was. The ceremony lasted about an hour and half and then that is was it. Its so weird to be on the other side of it now. Two years went really really fast.

Workin it OUT!

For those of you who don't know Blue is really into fitness. He's really been considering it as a career. This is the latest workout he is promoting.

FALSE ALARM!

Well we had quite the exciting day. It started out normal I got up battled a raging snow storm to get to work, got there and hour late and did my usual thing, changing adult diapers chasing confused patients down the hall and helping wash stinky people. All was well until about 11:00 when I felt a gush. Hmm that was interesting I thought and decided to investigate further in the bathroom. Well I got there and felt another little gush and thought hmm maybe its time I go visit my midwife (being that I work in the building next to her) So I truck down there and there and they give me a test strip to test to see if what I felt was amniotic fulid or not. Well the test they gave me came up positive. Holy crap now I was really freakin out, water breaking means baby coming. It probably wouldn't have been as big a deal but just the week before I took a strep test and found that I'm postive for strep (which is perfectly normal about 30% of women test postive) which ment I was going to have to be admitted and if labor didn't follow soon induced. Yikes!
So I walk back over to the hospital where Tallie just happens to be doing her clinicals for school in the labor and delievery unit, needless to say she was freaking out. So they admit me, put my in the flattering hosptial gown and hook me up to a fetal monitor. My midwife comes in and asks me what happen and I rely the above story and she wants to get a little more information so goes to grab the speculum. Who doesn't love to hear those words?
In the mean time I've called Rich and he is getting packed, because we still thought we had 4 weeks to go and my mom is driving 90 miles an hour down I-70 in hopes she doesn't miss a thing.
So I get set up and the midwife does the speculum thing and performs a different test and low an behold its negative. But if you've never coughed with a speculum in you it is quite the experience and not a good experienc.
Needless to say we are all a little disapointed. They keep the fetal monitor on me for a few more minutes just to make sure the baby is alright. Then they wipe the goo of my belly and send us on our way.
I'm relieved but a bit disappointed. I'm glad that I'm not going to have a kid before graduation but it sure was exciting to think we could be parents tonight or tomorrow. Tomorrow being our 5 year wedding aniversary!
Things are back to normal now, no contractions or anything so I think we still have a few more weeks till baby Ras makes an appearance. He's already hogging all the attention!
