Immaculate Conception....It's Happened Before!

I finally got around to getting my flu shot today. I know a lot of people don't get them but I personally think that's a bit irresponsible. Of course, I've waited until every office is out of the vaccine so I had to resort to going to the County Health Department. That was a first for me. I had visions of terribly long lines of unhealthy people, but you know what they say about assuming something in life. Yeah, I was the only person there. It was me and four or five nurses who had nothing else to do but stand around gossiping. It was a depressing building but must be a sweet job just standing there gabbing all day. They told me all about some woman in California who just had octupulets (I guess that's what it's called- eight babies).

Anyway, so I go into the room with a nurse and another woman- I think she was either another nurse or an admin person who had nothing else to do. I sit down and lift my sleeve to prepare for my shot. I'm looking away to avoid seeing the needle. If I don't see it, I'm fine. But gosh the nurse is dawdling! Re-reading my paperwork over and over. It seriously only had like five questions on it. But she asks me again if I am allergic to eggs or latex. No I tell her. Are you pregnant? No. Are you sure there is no chance you are pregnant? No, I'm not pregnant. She looks at my paper again (where I checked the box NO that I am not preggers) and looks up to ask me a third and fourth time if I might be preggo. After the last time I sarcastically said, "only if it's immaculate conception!" She looks at me, in all seriousness, and replied that it happened once. To which I replied, "yeah 2000 years ago."

Now I was not in the most beautiful of outfits (jeans and sweater) and I have gained a LOT of weight over the last few years. But I feel certain that I do not look pregnant. Or slutty. Chubby, maybe. Pregnant though, notsomuch. I love though that she felt I looked pregnant, slutty and religious all at the same time. That's a difficult trifecta to pull off, but apparently I do it well. Who knew?!





To answer your question.... This is the dress I picked up at White/Black on Saturday. It was super on sale and hides my pregnancy belly well....I hope! I like stuff that I can dress up or down depending on the accessories and shoes. I think it will be cute with Bonannos in six months after we thaw out up here.
