Default 36 week appointment!

I had my 36 week appointment today. They did the GBS test and I will find out next week the results. Hopefully I will pass like I did with my other kids but you just never know!
I have gained 3 lbs in 2 weeks.
My blood pressure was 106/70, hemaglobin (sp?) was 13.5 which they said was great. Urine tested out great too!

The NP checked my cervix and said I am dialated 2 cm. She didnt mention anything about effacement and I didnt ask. I wish I had b/c now im wondering!
My next appointment is next thursday and if I remember I will ask the dr about effacement when she checks my cervix.
So other than the weight gain (up to about 40 lbs now!), my appointment went great!
Im hoping that next week I will be dialated at least a little more. B/c all the more I dialate now that all the less I have to deal with while in labor. lol
Oh yeah, I am actually doing much better today than I had this last week. I had been feeling SOOOO down. You ladies made me feel much better and it helped also to have a good appointment and a good nights sleep! Meaning the kids slept straight through, I went to bed early and only had to get up to pee in the night. Of course I had to pee like 4 or 5 times but thats to be expected!
Im hoping to go on my own in the next 3 weeks but if I make it to May 1st then they will induce that morning. So its really exciting to know at the most I have only 3 weeks left!
