Dreaded Shot Day

So this morning has been a rough one.  I have been so anxious about getting the dreaded RhoGAM shot and today was finally the day. 

My first complaint is how horribly inconvenient it is to get the damn thing.  My doctor wrote me a perscription and gave me this informational sheet listing 3 different hospitals I could go to to get it done. 

The first is relatively close to my house and work....but only allows you to come in between 9am and 11am.  WHO CAN DO THAT!?  No one with a job! 

The second is rediculously far from my house and work so it was out of the question. 

The last was in the middle and opened at 7am.  I woke up early and drove 20 minutes in the opposite direction from work just to be told that because I have never been to that hospital they needed to verify my blood type again....which my doctor did not include on the script.   So....they sent me away.  SERIOUSLY?!  I don't understand why they can't take my doctor's word for it that I have a negative blood type.  That IS the only reason someone would need this shot.

Now I have to get my doctor to call in and ask for the blood screen and the RhoGAM shot and go back to the hospital this afternoon.  AWESOME!

Ok.....I have taken a few deep breathes and am feeling a little better.

On a lighter note....I think I experienced my first REAL craving last night.  My husband and I have a whole fridge full of wonderful leftovers from his birthday weekend, but I decided that I could not live without french toast for dinner last night.  At first I thought...Not wierd, that is just what I want to eat....but now that I am talking about I realize I want it AGAIN for dinner tonight.  DEFINETLY a craving!

Dominic has started to slow down with the kicks lately, I have read that it is normal to have a decrease in fetal movement around 28 weeks.  I still feel him every now and then so I am not worried, but not nearly as often as I have in weeks past. Maybe he has been napping :)
