Today was our 36 week check-up. I'm still measuring a week big..measuring at 37 weeks. The baby's heartbeat sounded good and they also did the Group B Strep test today. We will know next week if I am positive for it. We asked when the baby will be circumcised and she said it would be the next day by the pediatrician at the hospital. We also asked how long I will stay in the delivery room before being moved to the maternity room and she said about an hour. The baby stays with us for the hour and then Matt goes with the baby to the nursery to help with the bath and baby assessments. He gets to stay with him the whole time so that's good b/c we aren't going to get the Hep B shot so he will be the one to tell the nurse not to do it. Then he brings the baby back to the maternity room where I will be moved to. We also asked about the epidural and if I decide to get one when that would be if I wanted it. (some dr's make you wait until a certain dilation). She said if I decided to have it I could have it right away if I wanted it which made me happy ;). I can't wait until he comes out b/c I'm so uncomfortable right now. I feel like I can't breath and am just huge. I am ready to get him out :) I asked the doc what would happen if he didn't come at 40 weeks and she said we could start talking eviction (induction) anytime after 40 weeks if we wanted to. I never thought I would want to be induced until now and when I can't imagine being pregnant that long! :)
We went to the park with Cali this evening. Then we came back and Kitty escaped to the next door neighbors porch. (the gardeners must have left the side gate open and he found a way out) :)
Well that's if for now. I'm going to watch tv and get ready for bed early (I'm exhausted and haven't really done anything). The joys of being huge :)
