37 week appointment

I need to post my 36 & 37 week pictures - I'm hoping to do that tomorrow!

In the mean time - I had my weekly (37) appointment yesterday.

Blood pressure was good. Weight increased...whoever says that your weight steadies out or decreases in your third trimester is crazy in my book. I've gained a ton this trimester.

I went in the room, was told to remove my clothes from the waist down and cover up with the sheet on the table. The "sheet" was the size of a baby blanket and barely covered a thing - I guess the point is lost on the fact that you uncover for the doctor anyway!

The heartbeat was good - 140's I think - he's still in the head down position. She then checked me for dilation and did the Strep B test - not dilated and I'm not sure if I get called about the Strep B test or not. If you test positive you are given antibiotics during labor/delivery to keep the baby from having pneumonia, since I'm already going to be given antibiotics for my heart I guess it doesn't matter if I test negative or positive - but so I don't have to worry about it I hope it's negative!

I go back next Wednesday - and then my doctor leaves for a week to get married and go on her honeymoon - So, if I don't have Zach by next week I hope he waits until she gets back (considering how ready I am to have him, this sounds like crazy talk, but I really want my doctor to deliver him....)

Pictures to come soon............
