I Aced My Doctor's Visit!

We had our monthly doctor's visit today and met with a midwife who went over all of my recent bloodwork. I aced it! Well, at least that's what my blood type is...A positive - also written as A+! Sorry to those of you that are B negative, but I kick your butt as far as blood type goes. Now, I am just praying that one of my parents has the same blood type...In case you didn't know, when my mom and I came home from Richland Memorial Hospital some 27 years ago, our ID bracelets did not match. They were one number off. Now is her chance to prove to me that she really is my mother. I hope she steps up because it would really be an awkward Mother's Day next weekend otherwise.

Anyway, we got to hear the baby heartbeat again. The midwife said it was at 160 beats per minutes which was perfectly normal. I definitely see an A+ in this baby's future! Nothing else big to report. I am feeling a good bit better. Starting to get up and going again. Walked with a friend through the neighborhood yesterday with her two kids and it felt so nice to be out. Our pool opens this weekend (we're so rich) and I hope to spend some time there finishing my last 200 pages of the final Harry Potter.

Happy Friday to you all!

Hard to believe but true! And when you were little and would go for routine check-ups, I would inquire as to how I could find out your blood type. Not because I had any doubts, I just wanted to write it down in a baby book or something. Well, the staff would look at me as if I were trying to figure out my "baby's daddy"!

Ha! That's funny... but you are SO much like your mother, there's no doubt you belong to her. Is there such a thing as B+ blood type? I thought that's what I was, but maybe not... :-) I'm so jealous of your pool, you rich girl!

You really should get your mom's blood type figured out because you are nothing like her or your dad! Awkward! haha I'm b+ so I'm not far behind you! You may have a pool but mom and dad have road runner so they are more rich than you! haha Seriously though I'm glad you're feeling better!!!
