My weekly field trip.

So every Wednesday at between 1:30 and 2:30 I get to get in my car and leave my house on a field trip! Hooray! Except not really. As the field trip is to my doctor's office to get my weekly progesterone injection. But I don't even care. I've started looking forward to this excursion with ridiculous enthusiasm. A reason to put on jeans and a cute shirt! Put on make-up! A chance to interact with other people! I have also perhaps made a habit of swinging through the Starbucks drive-through on my way home for an afternoon caramel frappuccino. I figure I deserve it, given that the shot is so heinous that the nurse winces FOR me every time she gives it, and apologizes like 5 times between when I walk in the door to when she's saying goodbye. True, it's a bitch of a shot. But its hopefully helping ward off pre-term labor, AND it gives me the opportunity to feel human for just a little bit each week.

This weeks excursion was made even sweeter when my parents stopped by unexpectedly and took me to my appointment and then to get bagel sandwiches for lunch (Einstein's jalapeño cream cheese is fantastic). Combined with the colorful, glossy new magazines my cousin Lauren dropped off to me last night (I love a new magazine) and the fact that my friend Kristie is coming over to help around the house and get Owen to bed tonight - this has turned out to be a pretty fantastic Wednesday!
