I had a lovely, uneventful evening.
I also had a prenatal appointment, which could be considered uneventful. Or maybe not. Apparently, the lab forgot to run the OB screen on the blood they took during my first visit. Strikes me as a very silly mistake since I'm there because I'm pregnant. So they needed me to do it yesterday.
I have the tiniest veins on the planet. You can see them through my skin, but you can't get to them. I have had a few experiences when the tech has been either amazing or lucky and gotten some blood on the first try--but it's rarely even half a vial. However, yesterday was not one of those days. I have a mark on the inside of my lower left arm--with a really nasty bruise, another near one of my knuckles on my right hand, another on the inside of my right wrist, and the final one is in the elbow of my left arm. And how much blood did they get? None. Not a drop. I only bleed when they remove the needle.
I'm expecting a call today to let me know if I have to come back in before my next appointment in three weeks or if it can wait until then.
And as a child I was terrified of vampires. Silly girl.
