Two bandaids

I triumphed over my flu shot yesterday. My arm doesn't even hurt. If you knew me, you'd know that any sort of shot--especially a vaccination--freaks me out.

Today I got my test for gestational diabetes. That stuff they make you drink wasn't my favorite, but totally not as bad as some people make it seem. It did start to make me feel sick after a little while, but I think that has to do with the fact that my appointment was first thing this morning and all I'd eaten before was toast. The nurse who took my blood wasn't as smooth at it as some nurses I've had, but I survived with only minor clenching of my jaw.

Ugh. Needles. And now two bandaids on the same arm.

ugh, yeah, I've heard that pure sugary stuff is gross! Not looking forward to that!

Mmmm sugar.

Uhm, can I be your child's godfather or something? And what does that entail? Do I get to keep him if something tragic happens? Will there be a major motion picture about him coming to live at my house and at first fearing that I am some eccentric and cold relative, but later realizing that I am just struggling with something that happened in my past and that with a little persistence he can get to know the true, warm, welcoming me and we can form our own family?

If the answer to any of the previous questions were no, can you at least name him after me? Wait, is it even a boy? If not can you name her Gabrielle?

I just want to be a part of the Badgers' life.

hey gabe, we'll talk about you being a godfather. It is a boy and the name is already picked out. Noah Roger Badger. Roger after my grandfather. I'll let you know about the godfather thing as soon as I know.

Ew needles and shots, I hate them too! I have to get a flu shot soon (I work in an elementary school and really don't want to get it from the kids) and I'm NOT looking forward to it. I had a friend who got the flu from the shot... yikes!

As I'm sitting here feeling under the weather I'm wondering if it's too late to get a flu shot...Right now I just want to go to bed! But way to go, big girl! Here's to taking care of yourself!
