Midwife Appointment: 36 Weeks

I will now have weekly appointments until baby comes. I gained two pounds in the past week so I have officially gained 31 lbs. I was really hoping to not gain any more than 30 but oh well. For the first time ever baby girl measured two weeks ahead. The midwife said that it wasn't a big deal so I guess it's okay. As long as she's healthy I'm not going to worry about it.

Good news is I got my results for the group b strep swab and passed that so yay, I don't need antibiotics during labor. The bad news is my blood was a little low in iron which means I may be anemic so I have to start taking an iron pill everyday. That puts me at three different pills a day. Luckily I only have 3-4 weeks left so it's not a big deal. OMG! I only have 3-4 weeks left!! Wow...

Midwife Appointment: 35 Week

On my way to my appointment today I got a flat tire. I pulled into a gas station to put air in my tire because I thought it was just low but the air didn't do anything and I was pissed. So I started getting everything out so I could change my tire. I've done it myself before so it wasn't a big deal. Luckily for me a nice man saw me and came over to do it for me. He has four daughters, three of which who drive so he was really nice about it and did it in five minutes and I wasn't late to my appointment. Thank you whoever you were. I really, really appreciated it.

When I weighed myself I had lost two pounds since three weeks ago. It was probably because I was sick this past week and a half and not eating much. That puts me at 29 lbs more than before I got pregnant. Despite the weight loss baby girl is measuring right on track and has a healthy heartbeat in the 130's. She's head down in optimal position and will hopefully stay that way. Because I'm getting close to term my midwife gave me 5-W pills (haven't looked it up yet) to soften my cervix. She also gave me the birth certificate info so that's exciting. I also had to have blood drawn and had to swab for group b strep. Hopefully it all comes out fine.

All in all everything went perfectly and I just cannot wait to meet my baby girl!
