Physicals and Well Checks

Today, Nate, Dave, and I went for our physicals/well check ups today. 3 appointments back to back. What fun!

Dave and I are required to get physicals as part of our adoption process. Along with the basic physicals, we had the privilege or giving a urine sample and bloodwork.

This is what Nate decided to do while at the doctor's office. :) He thought that they needed reorganizing and that they looked best as towers. Good thing that they were unused urine cups.

 Proof of my bloodwork.

I'll update more about Nate's checkup tomorrow (if I get a chance).

I can't finish this post without a funny story. It wasn't funny when it happened, but it is now and a great story to tell later on.

Because we were required to do bloodwork, we had to fast for 12 hours prior to the test. That meant that I hadn't eaten anything since 11:00 last night. It was torture to watch the kids at school eat yummy nachos while my stomach growled, but I made it through the day. My appointment was at 4:30 and by the time they were ready to take my blood, I was feeling kind of weak, sick to my stomach, and I had a killer headache. I made it through my bloodwork without any issues and was cleared to head home. On the way home, I started to feel really sick, so sick that I got the feeling that I needed to pull over, yet I was in the middle lane at a light and that wasn't an option. Needless to say, I'm thankful that there was a tissue box nearby and that I found out that I can drive while getting sick. Nate kept on asking me why I was coughing and I had to explain that I wasn't coughing into the tissue box and that I was sick. 

Now we wait for our bloodwork results to come back within the next week. One more step completed.
