35 weeks (well, almost)

Just about one more month to go (um, yikes)!

I had my 35 week check-up today and met the last doctor in the practice that I needed to meet. Honestly? I liked them all. There are some I liked better than others, but no one that I met and thought Oh my gosh, this person cannot deliver my baby. But. There is one doctor in the practice that has a little trouble with eye contact. Basically, she looks right past you when talking to you. It's the weirdest thing. I sometimes try to discretely shift into her line of vision while she's chatting with me, but to no avail. She still looks away. So that might be a little awkward come delivery time but nothing I can't deal with.

So what's on the agenda at my next appointment? To sum it up, lots of swabbing. I'll have my first cervix check and will also be getting a vaginal and rectal swab. I know, I know- I'm a lucky girl. It's to test for Strep B, which is standard. Still- call me immature, but the words rectal swab really made me cringe.

And since I've used the word "rectal" a few too many times in this post, I will try to make up for it by leaving you with some of my maternity shots from the beach. Call it even?

Gorgeous pics!! I don't know how I missed hearing about the rectal swab -- something else to look forward to. Good luck!

Such a pretty little pregnant lady. More pics to come soon... :)

By the way, I was terrified of the rectal swab. As a rule, I like to keep things away from my rectum, especially things that will be "swabbing" it. But I promise you it was NOTHING. I didn't even feel it!

I love the pics!!! You are so beautiful. Happy Anniversary! Matt is a such a great guy. What a wonderful idea to make a slide show and how sweet. We have our first prepared childbirth class on Thursday and sometime between the three classes we're getting a tour of L&D. I'm looking forward to it! I cannot believe that guy took a chair! How ridiculous! Some people really lack social graces.
