Checklist

1. baby appointment- check

2. Diagnosis of Bladder infection- check

3. Diagnosis of Positive Strep B test- check

4. Blood draw to check heparin levels- check

I must say that the third trimester truly is the worst of the three, regardless of how nauseous I felt during the first bit. Ugh.

Let's be a bit more positive! So here's my happy checklist;

1. go shopping with soon to be Grandmas (!!) at Hopscotch and be showered with sweet gifts for Weeb- check

2. cancel internet and cable which in turn makes conversation and "real" living occur- check

3. being able to walk to baby appointments and hospital blood draws- check

4. gaining a couple of pounds (thanks to Ben and Jerry's being on sale I think...)- check

5. baby being tentatively "scheduled" for next week (maybeeeeeee?)- check

So, in the end the happy list outweighs the unhappy list. I think I can still be bummed about the whole strep B test, just one more thing to treat. Happily it is 100% responsive to penicillin, which I will be taking every 4 hours prior to delivery while in hospital. Also having a bladder infection when Weeb's head is already using it for a pillow makes life a little more uncomfortable. Oh I forgive him for that though, his comfort over mine I suppose :).

Wednesday is the big amniocentesis day, gulp. Jon will be with me and fingers crossed we will have a painless, successful fluid draw. The results from that will really determine the next step. Hoping for some healthy and mature baby lungs :)
