37 Week Check up

Current mood: nervous

Today was my 37 week check up. Things went very well. I am so huge now I feel like a whale ready to pop! Can someone please harpoon me and put me out of my misery! haha jk

I had to take my Strep B test and for you mothers who know what that is, its not very fun. Especially getting poked where they poke you. I also had to take a urine test which I have been holding off because they are always a pain in the butt to take. Try aiming for a TINY cup blind folded haha, thats what it feels like. My belly is so big I can't see what I am doing. I have already contaminated 2 tests already cuz of this reason. I am praying this last test was good. I don't want to have to take it again.

During the exam my OB checked my belly and attempted to find the baby's heart beat. I say attempted because little Mia was very active this morning and everytime my doc put the machine on my tummy to hear her heart beat it would quickly fade away because she would move out of the way. The doc ended up having to chase her around my tummy to find her beat. It was cute. In the end she said it sounded good, strong and healthy. Then the doc did something that surprised me. She decided to do an Ultra Sound to check to see if the baby is in position. (and yes she is) This was a GIANT treat since I haven't seen little Mia since April. She looks like a full grown baby now and we even caught her sucking her thumb!!!! I asked the doc how much she thought she weighed and she said between 7-8 pounds so she is practically ready to be born now. I would hope so I have been packing on the weight so much these last few weeks, I want it to stop! haha I have some new pics that I will scan and upload later.

Then I had to take a blood test...boooo! Those are never fun. I will have to see what those results are later. As for now I am sleepy and need a nap. The big day is just around the corner now and I can't wait!!!! My Dad finished painting the room and it looks ADORABLE! I will have to post pics of that too. well I am off to sleep!!!!
