I'm Currently Feeling:  | 35 Week Checkup
Had my 35 week checkup today... so that means the dreaded Strep B test! It really wasn't that bad... at all. I think it helped that I anticipated a horrific and invasive test because it was nowhere near that. A quick swab here and a quick swab there.. tada!
Other than that the appointment went well except for the fact I gained 6 lbs in 2 weeks!  I guess now is the best time to stop eating chocolate bars and candy lol.
I'm going to see a specialist 4 hours away next Wednesday about my blood pressure as I'm considered a high-risk pregnancy. It'll be nice to get out of town and do a bit more baby shopping as I live in a town with very few stores and 2000 people.
Anyways ladies-- don't worry about the Strep B test! It's nothing to get worked up about, I promise!
P.S... I'M IN THE LAST BOX  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Glad your appointment went well, we don't get the strep B test over here.
Can't believe you have to travel for 4 hours next week! Is your OH going with you? | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yep OH will be driving me there. I think I'd be a nervous wreck without him. I swear he's the only person who is able to keep me sensible sometimes. |

I have my 35 week check-up tomorrow and I am sort of nervous about the strep B test, but I am hoping it is just very quick and painful.
Did you have an internal or no? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Yay! I'm glad it was an easy appointment. The strep b wasn't really bad at all. It was so quick, it was nothing. That kinda sucks about having to go to a specialist, but at least you get to go shopping!! That will be fun! Congrats again.
Did she say anything about the baby being engaged or anything? |
