We had our first of the last OB appointments yesterday. Only four weeks left, which is an awful lot of time to get even.more.pregnant. But not a lot of time to get everything ready before this kid comes.
I got the lovely test for Group B Strep out of the way, praying for the results to be negative so I don't have to have any antibiotics during labor. She went ahead and checked me and it's at a big fat ZERO so I think my hopes for a 37 week baby are out the window.
Jacob had a good time, as she let him help her find the heartbeat with the doppler, right after he took Chris's blood pressure. I think she has a soft spot for Jacob as he once told her she looked so beautiful when she came in to the room a few months ago. He is kind of charming.
I suppose I should make an appointment to go to the hospital and register, although I really wish I could just type in my information on the website and be done with it. I don't really care to see the rooms before hand, or watch any videos on the epidural, etc. This ain't my first rodeo, you know? I am not going to care one bit if the rooms are remodeled. As long as I have my own room, it's all good!
The hospital we are using offers a "complementary" take home meal to their patients for the first night home, which is really sweet, but I'm also thinking that it's not really free! But it is a Catholic hospital, so I suppose it could be in a sense. All I'm hoping for is the chance to use the tub and a quick, get out of jail free pass after one night. No extended stay for us! I'm only taking a month off of work, I want as much time off as possible!

Oh my! I had a heart palpitation at 'only a month' off work. AHHH! Our systems are quite different hey. I don't know what I'd do with just a month off. Can't believe you are almost there. Very exciting!!! Soon that sweet baby will be in your arms. Love it!
I know, it would be wonderful to have a year off like you do! But I do work from home from a small company, and they would give me more time but I sort of chose to go back after a bit. I only work part time!
You know, I have a registration packet that my OB gave me at my FIRST APPOINTMENT, that the hospital expects me to return before something like 20 wks. I find that slightly insane, but now I'm just happy I don't have to actually go to the hospital to register :)
I can't believe how close you are, though!! Yay, babies :)
