I got the cervical check today - still all closed up!
Also got the beta strep test ...none of it was fun, but the qtip is much nicer than the hand! My doc did apologize for the pain, and said "you were the one complaining about the BH" ...lol.
BP was 126/73 - he was SHOCKED at my BP! I don't remember exactly what he said... something like, "you're hanging in there, BP is good, surprisingly" .. wtf?! Am I supposed to have high BP just because I'm 8mos prego AND obese??? Not always doc! Especially when I've been better about my diet and my meds... not so much the diet today - biscuit sammich & OJ for brkfast and pb&j for lunch.
Val's heartrate was 135, and the doppler kept picking up mine, too....made it sound like her heart was skipping beats.
More of the same next week, I'm sure... I've really gotten used to my Wednesday appointments, but the office is closed for whatever reason next Weds, so I have to miss even MORE time at work by going in at 230 on Thursday... I'll just have to see if I can take 1/2 a vacay day... the 40-45 minutes I miss by having my 4pm appt on Weds is super easy to make up - 3+ hours is not so easy to make up...mostly because I refuse to work through my lunch for 3 days...hell to the no! I spend enough time there during the week anyway. :D
So that's my 35-weeker ladies - all is well ... here's hoping for a negative GBS outcome.
We also finished our registration for the hospital stay and paid the $107 that I owed! woohoo! I'm really glad I pre-registered online... I only had to sign 4 forms and pay the balance of my deductible... the online forms? 9 or so pages... hell - my hand would have killed me! lol... but it's all done now - ready for blast off! ...I just wish my apartment was ready.
After the doc & hospital stuff, Gabe and I went to eat at Beijing chinese buffet....haven't been in a while...and damn, it was good!
