So I went to my first OB appointment today. It was early in the morning, so I dropped Micah off with my mom and headed over. I filled out paper work and all that and got into the doctor. I was so excited when he finally did the ultrasound part. I got to see my little blob. You could see it's heartbeat and everything. It just blows me away that something can form so fast! I was all ready to go with the picture of my little blob in hand when they told me they needed to take some blood really quick, so I walked back into the exam room and the nurse started taking my blood and we chatted and soon I was on my way out the door again. I stopped really quick to get my next appointment and started feeling funny. The nurse that took my blood walked by as I was putting my head down and I told her I was feeling faint. She told me to come back into the exam room and sit down for a second while she went to get me juice. I sat down and put my head back and I was OUT LIKE A LIGHT. The nurse said she came back as I was falling out of my chair and onto my knees. I just remember waking up to the doctor by my head and nurse on each side (these are by far the nicest nurses I have ever met!). I was totally confused at what had happened. Well, I was fine, but it took me a while to not feel light headed, so they didn't want me to drive. They call up my trooper of a husband who drops everything at work and comes running down to rescue me and drop me off at my moms. What a day! I feel OK now, but I think I am going to ask for a pass on the IV when I get to the delivery room. That didn't go over well last time. I guess I am weak sauce!
By the way, that picture is not my doctor, just a creepy guy I thought would be funny.

How scary! At least you didn't pass out walking across the street or somthing! I get light headed when my blood is drawn...except when I'm prego. Weird. Did I ever tell you about me passing out when I first went to BYU? They were drawing blood for PE & the cutest guy in my ward found me on the floor in one of the buildings! So embarassing, I couldn't talk to him for the rest of the semestr!
