Well this sucks...

Yesterday was something of a comedy of errors. For old times I headed into NYC with my Mom to see her pain doctor for probably my last time. For those curious, my Mom is a failed back surgery but a huge success now in terms of pain treatment. She went from in 2007 having a hard time just walking around the grocery store on her own, to being back to walking 2 miles on every day. And all because of the success of her pain injections and drugs this particular doctor switched her to. Going together to see a lot of her doctors has been a bonding experience for me and my Mom. Usually it also involves a nice lunch out lol The last time we went to see this doctor was in February 2010, the day before I left to go to Japan. And the very start of my pregnancy. Now I've nearly finished 7 months and Mom isn't sure she wants me coming in the future since I will have a baby. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Our 12:45 appointment, despite our coming early was not taken until 2! (And this was only because I eventually played the Pregnancy Card which got us attention) We then went to our usual lunch spot which was made of FAIL. First they had no a/c, then my main course was not available :( and then my second choice meal was waaaaaaay too spicy and made me sick. ;;_;; We missed the train we needed to take, so decided to go to a huge H&M to look at maternity... which they did not have ;;_;; Our next thought was to go back home, then to Starbucks and to Gap Maternity. I had just found a dress I liked and wanted to try on, when my husband called to say OUR CAR WAS NOT WORKING!!! So no trying on clothes or Starbucks for me, our car is now sitting waiting to be towed and outcome unclear. MEH!

In very very happy news, my 2nd of my 3 pregnant cousins just had her baby and she too just had a girl!!! So far 2 for 2, though I know my cousin due in October is a boy and I'm a girl.
