35 week check up

Today I had an appointment with Dr. Z. I had mentally prepared myself for the group B strep test even though I had no idea if I would get it this time or next time. I got called back pretty quick since I was the only soul in the waiting room on Christmas Eve Eve. First up: Weigh in. Normally I am pleased with my weight, but this time I was not. I am up to 150. I just can not control my weight at the end of pregnancy, it comes flying on. When I take off my shoes and jeans my legs and feet are so puffy that I have lines and creases all over the place. My face is starting to get pretty puffy too. It's just not a good feeling even though you know most of it is baby and water weight.

Next part: pee sample. I went in to do my pee sample just like I do every time and all was normal until I went to wash my hands. I turned on the water and it was freezing, so I opted for hand sanitizer. I pumped it down and there was a goopy part covering most of the pump, so I got a large amount of gel squirted all in my hair and on my face.

Last part: doctor check up. I went into the exam room, where I did end up having to do the group B strep test this time. Ick. I need to get used to the examining stuff though because I think they start checking my cervix starting next week since my appointments are now weekly. I discussed my Baylor vs. Harris issue with Dr. Z. He is going to talk to some people with the billing department and see why it is so much more expensive and if there is any way they would price match, so there is still hope for Baylor.

Goals before baby arrives:

Finish Kylie's room (curtains, reupholster and paint chair, mirror, paint chandelier, stuff for walls, paint bookshelf, rug, eek that's a lot)

finishing painting baby's room doors

paint baby's room floor (sounds weird, but it will look cool, Dayme the decorator's idea)

make baby's closet (we have to make a closet out of this built in shelf thing since the room isn't technically a bedroom)

get a baby boy coming home from hospital outfit (I already have a girl one)

find carseat and get that all cleaned and installed and hope that it isn't totally worn out and nasty after all these years

That's about it, I think.
