Updates

Yesterday was my fabulous, semi annual, skin check review. I get the grand opportunity to stand naked (well, you do have a gown that you wear that's a little breezy in the back, that you have to slip off and on in parts) in front of my dermatologist, while she looks at all the craziness that my skin has to offer. People, you know it's bad when your dermatologist sincerely sounds sorry as she apologizes for your skin. I just do not scar nicely, and I'm not really a fast healer (another reason I hope never to have a c-section), and while I never had a problem with acne, my body produces crazy moles, and funky cysts.

Anyway, so yesterday I had my 13th mole removed. That's right. THIRTEEN. (If you want to be reminded of some of my other mole surgeries, or need to re-read my public service announcement, you can catch up HERE) This was just a little one, so that is nice for me. I pray that my kids get my husband's genes when it comes to my weird skin issues.

After my Dermatologist appointment, I went to my 30 week check up. Can I tell you one reason I'm so excited to have this baby? NO MORE DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS! For me, at least. I'm sorry, but by the end of my pregnancy I am so tired of peeing in a cup. Seriously. The process just takes so long; write your initials on the cup, open up two cleaning swabs, wash your hands, wipe with the cleaning swabs a certain way, put the sanitary cover on the seat (that one's not on the instructions in the bathroom, but I add it to the list), pee a little in the toilet, pee in the cup, wash your hands, reassemble the ten layers you are wearing, and leave the bathroom exhausted. Doesn't that sound fun? That's called, a "clean catch" urine sample. Let me tell you, there can't be a more miss-named thing. There is nothing clean about a woman who is 30 weeks pregnant trying to pee in a cup SHE CAN'T EVEN SEE. That's all I'll say. Seriously, those last doctor's appointments I'm excited to think, "That could be my last urine sample..."

I know you wanted to come to my blog and read about that today.

So, you're welcome.

Hey man I hear ya. Peeing in a cup gets super old and it's just the beginning for me.
