woohoo!

6 more days of bedrest baby. Everything is fine, as expected, or so says my new doctor. Longest quick appointment ever though, holy canolli. The actual appointment was, of course, 5 minutes. Pee in cup, weighed, measured, listen to baby's heartbeat. Schedule next appt. I did have the added bonus this week of swabbing myself to check for type B Strep, and I'll not give you any further details there. The brochure was very reassuring about it *not* being an STD though, so that's ... good I guess. I was at the office for 1.5 hours though, waiting and waiting. They're also sending me for another ultrasound next week, just for fun I guess. I have my pre-registration forms for the hospital, and from what I've read so far about the Chalmers Hospital, it's just not as cool as the Moncton one, but I'll only be there for 2 days, so I'll manage, I'm sure. I have to call and see if they're doing a tour any time soon so I can at least know what to expect when I get there. You have to bring your own diapers and baby-washing stuff here, which is too bad; it's all supplied in Moncton. Ah well, we have lots for now!

So yes, as of next Wednesday I'll be 36 weeks, and as I had hoped most of my bedrest restrictions will be removed. I'll still be 36 weeks pregnant, which is somewhat limiting in itself. That is, as I was told, if I make it to next week. Reassuring, no? I love having no idea what's going on, it keeps my life interesting. My big plan is to have a night out with Grant on Wednesday, since we haven't done that for quite some time, and likely won't again for a while. Something really exciting like dinner and a movie. Wooh!
