35 week check-up!

So...yeah, everything is basically fine.  BP, pee, and iron all checked out just fine.  Then I went to get on the scales, and I LOST two pounds.  Wha...?

I explained my bum hip and self-imposed bed rest situation from last week to the doc, and she said that I may have lost a bit of fluid due to the bed rest, leading to the weight loss.  She also said, "Good for YOU!  Taking care of yourself like that!"

Then as I was driving home, I remembered the digestive issues I'd had last Sunday.  Oh yeah.  THAT probably helped a bit with the weight loss, too.  I mean, I hardly ate anything for 24 hours.  (But TWO pounds?  Wow.)

I did NOT get my beta-strep test done this time.  No, it'll be next time, when the TORTUROUS internal exams start.  Yay!!!!

My hip and back have decided to stay a bit snarky with me.  One of the many times that I'm pretty happy that I'm unemployed for this pregnancy.  I can just imagine having to do that long-ass bathroom walk I had at one of my previous jobs in THIS condition.  I'd probably be requesting a porta-potty in my cubicle.

Annoying.  This hip and back.

Otherwise...I have discovered that the vibrating thingy does NOT work on the ol' bouncy seat.  I'm not too terribly worried about it.  Yet.

I have put all the cute little washed baby clothes in little baskets and arranged them on the built-in shelves of the proposed nursery.  But the room is still too full of crap I can't move to try to paint or do anything else in there.  I keep walking in there to do something "little" and then walk back out again totally defeated to go sit on the couch again.  It's just...too much!

I am planning on installing the car seat this week.  But I really should vacuum the mini-van first.  Ugh.

I have been experiencing some Braxton-Hicks contractions.  And I find myself saying a LOT lately, "Please get off my cervix.  PLEASE get off my cervix." 

DH is starting to take over more of the kid-hauling for me.  I simply LOVE that man.
